The 2018 AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competitions 8) was held on November 13th, 2018. The AMC 8 is the most rigorous nationwide mathematics competition at the middle school level, dedicated to the goal of strengthening the mathematical capabilities of our nation’s youth. The AMC 8 has a total score of 25. Three of our students were among 44 National Winners (Perfect Scorers). Click HERE see a full list of students who achieved a perfect score in the USA.

In 2018, there were 66 students in grades 3-8 who attended our AMC 8 Prep, AMC 10/12 Prep, and AIME Prep Classes, including One-on-One Private Coaching and Small Group (4-10 students) Classes. All of them attended the AMC 8 contest on November 13, 2018, and their average score is 19.3. Remarkably, 63 students received National Awards for the AMC 8 from the Mathematical Association of America, as shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3. Furthermore, 12 students in grade 6 or under received National Awards, among them Kelly L. and Richard W. who both got a 24 out of 25. The performance of two 4th grade students were extremely impressive: Angelina V. scored 17 points and Luke W. scored 16 points.

This year’s AMC 8 was much more difficult than the last year’s AMC 8. Some hard problems were even at the AMC 10 level. For example, Problems 21, 22, and 24 on the 2018 AMC 8 are three typical hard level AMC 10 problems.

All our students who achieved the top scores on the AMC 8 actually attended our high level AMC 10/12/AIME classes, not our standard level AMC 8 classes. They know that in order to get a top score, they must aim even higher!

There was a total of 229,031 students worldwide participated in the 2018 AMC 8 contest from over 2,000 schools. In the USA, 210,827 students participated, and the overall national average score is 8.51 out of a maximum of 25. All our students achieved an average score of 19.3 that is much higher than the overall national average score.
