How to Prepare for the AMC 10

The AMC 10 is one of the most prestigious high school Math competitions in the USA and the world. It provides a way for students interested in math to use their knowledge and skills to experience the joy of competiting against others.

The best way to prepare for the AMC 10 is to attend our AMC 10/12 training program. This is a comprehensive one-year program offering an entire course to cover all the topics that will be tested on the AMC 10/12. Students who participate in our training program will have free access to video recordings of every single class. Students who are not able to attend our training program can also purchase our course materials and recordings, including tutorial handouts, recorded videos, detailed solutions of homework problems, and mock tests, to learn all our course content. Starting each November just after the AMC 10/12 contests, we offer these sessions in sequence, as shown below.

It imust be stressed that in each session, no old material is repeated. Each session contains new, unique material, as well as a brand new comprehensive art of problem solving. We strongly believe that learning should be a long-term process of acquiring new material, information, and knowledge.

The easiest way to prepare is to practice solving previous official AMC 10 problems. Click the links below to visit our Practice Page for:

• Archived Exams: A full archive of every year’s AMC 10 A and B tests. Students can take a practice exam that includes the real questions, timing, and scoring of each exam.
• Mock Tests: Practice exams are also available for purchase. Our team developed 20 different sets of AMC 10 mock tests for students to practice with. They are intended to mimic the actual AMC 10 exam with 25 brand new questions all calibrated to be at the same style and difficulty level as the real AMC 10. In particular, they are peer-reviewed by at least two experts in math education outside our center. These simulated tests are extremely helpful for assessing students’ level of preparation for the AMC 10. Our team also devised detailed solutions to all 25 problems on our 20 sets of AMC 10 mock tests.  All these mock tests and their detailed solutions are a golden fountain of knowledge for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries. Surprisingly, some problems in our previous mock tests appeared in the recent official AMC 10 tests, as shown at:
  • The 2020 AMC 10/12 Contests Recycle Four Previous AIME Problems
  • Some Hard Problems on the 2017 AMC 10A/12A are Totally the Same as Previous Problems on the AMC 10/12
  • Some Problems on the 2016 AMC 10/12 are Exactly the Same as Previous AMC/ARML Problems
  • The AMC 10 and AMC 12 Have 10-15 Questions in Common
