The 2016 AMC 12B was held on February 17, 2016. At over 4,000 U.S. high schools in every state, more than 300,000 students were presented with a set of 25 questions rich in content, designed to make them think and sure to leave them talking.
Each year the AMC 10 and AMC 12 are on the National Association of Secondary School Principals’ Advisory List of Contests and Activities. Many top colleges also request AMC scores as part of the college application process. Both MIT and Caltech have entry blanks on their official admission application forms for the applicant to enter their best AMC and AIME scores. Ivy League Colleges and Stanford ask for to the AMC and AIME scores in their Supplement to the Common Application Forms. Your children deserve the chance to list these scores on their applications! Good AMC scores will greatly enhance admission opportunities for students to elite colleges.
Mathematics is increasingly important in our technological and scientific age. Taking more mathematics in high school is the gateway to jobs and careers of all kinds, even those that are not explicitly mathematical, scientific, or technological. Participating in the AMC contests can challenge and inspire students to learn more mathematics!

We have a long history of close collaboration with the MAA‘s American Mathematics Competitions (AMC), which are dedicated to strengthening the mathematical capabilities of our nation’s youth, and are the first of a series of competitions in high school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). There are many math competitions in the United States. Of those, only AMC → AIME → USAMO sequence would take you to the IMO (International Math Olympiad), the highest level math competition for high school students in the world. We are only one in the Washington DC metropolitan area to offer elementary, middle, and high-school level competition math courses. Our students have received top scores and awards at prestigious national and math competitions. We have collected all AMC8/10/12 and AIME Official Problems and Official Solutions as shown in the article ” American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) Materials,” which have formed our “big data” system, a golden resource for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries.
The 2016 AMC 10B was held on Feb. 17, 2016. Over 250,000 students from over 4,100 U.S. and international schools attended the 2016 AMC 10B contest and found it very fun and rewarding. Top 10, well-known U.S. universities and colleges, including internationally recognized U.S. technical institutions, ask for AMC scores on their application forms. Your children deserve the chance to list these scores on their applications!
The 2016 AMC 10B Problems and Answers have been posted below. You can click the following to download them:
Selection to the USAMO is based on the USAMO index which is defined as AMC 12 Score plus 10 times AIME Score.
Selection to the USAJMO is based on the USAJMO index which is defined as AMC 10 Score plus 10 times AIME Score.
The AIME is a 15 question, 3 hour exam taken by high scorers on the AMC 10 and AMC 12. Each answer is an integer from 0 to 999, inclusive, making guessing almost futile. Wrong answers receive no credit, while correct answers receive one point of credit. No partial credit is given. Thus AIME scores are integers from 0 to 15 inclusive.
Both the AMC 10 and AMC 12 are 25 question, 75 minute multiple choice contests. The AMC 10/12 is scored in a way that penalizes guesses. Correct answers are worth 6 points, incorrect questions are worth 0 points, and unanswered answers are worth 1.5 points, to give a total score out of 150 points.
The 2016 AMC 12Awas held on February 2, 2016. At thousands of schools in every state, more than 350,000 students were presented with a set of 25 questions rich in content, designed to make them think and sure to leave them talking.

In 2018, we had 73 students who are qualified to take the AIME either through the AMC 10A/12A or AMC 10B/12B. Two of our students was among the 35 Perfect Scorers worldwide on the AMC 10A: Austen M. and Jason W. and two of our students were among the 21 Perfect Scorers worldwide on the AMC 12B: Kaan D. and Edward W. Remarkably, 11 middle schoolers and 2 elementary schoolers qualified for the AIME!

Our Uniqueness
We have a long history of close collaboration with the MAA‘s American Mathematics Competitions (AMC), which are dedicated to strengthening the mathematical capabilities of our nation’s youth, and are the first of a series of competitions in high school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
We are only one in the Washington DC metropolitan area to offer elementary, middle, and high-school level competition math courses. Our students have received top scores and awards at prestigious national and math competitions.
The American Mathematics Contest 12 (AMC 12) is the first exam in the series of exams used to challenge bright students, grades 12 and below, on the path toward choosing the team that represents the United States at the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO).
High scoring AMC 12 students are invited to take the more challenging American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME). The AMC 12 is administered by the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC). Two different versions of the contests are given on two dates, about two weeks apart, in February. All USA, USA embassy, Canadian, and foreign school students in grade 12 or below are eligible to participate as long as they are under 19.5 years of age on the day of the contest.
The AMC 12 is a 25 question, 75 minute multiple choice test. Problems generally increase in difficulty as the exam progresses. Ever since 2008, calculators have been banned from use during the test; however, calculators were never required to solve any problems, and students who do not use calculators were not disadvantaged.
The AMC 12 is scored in a way that penalizes guessing. Correct answers are worth 6 points, incorrect answers are worth 0 points, and unanswered questions are worth 1.5 points, to give a total score out of 150 points. From 2002 to 2006, the number of points for an unanswered question was 2.5 points and before 2002 it was 2 points. Students that score over 100 points or in the top 5% of the AMC 12 contest are invited to take the AIME.
Curriculum
The AMC 12 tests mathematical problem solving with arithmetic, algebra, counting, combinatorics, geometry, number theory, and probability and other secondary school math topics. Problems are designed to be solvable by students without any background in calculus. The AMC 12 is a 25-question, 75-minute, multiple choice examination in secondary school mathematics containing problems which can be understood and solved with pre-calculus concepts.
B C的不少教授自身便是学界领袖，决定着学术的发展方向。这深深影响了学校的气氛和学生的心态，仿佛自己就处于世界中心未来也要争做主人翁一般。这固然有自大和可笑的一方面，但也意味着很多学生面对再难啃的学习上硬骨头都有“志在必得”“攻必克”的自信。而这种自信在中国国内的大学是非常缺乏的：我见过太多国内的聪明孩子不敢去学最难的学术文献。
这是纽约时报一篇长篇文章中强调的一个词。这篇文章主要讲的是：为什么 有很多爱好科学有志于学习理工科的孩子 到了大学学习两三年后纷纷转专业？—-因为理工科实在是太难了（so darn hard），特别是孩子们无法战胜低年级的数学科学死亡行军（math-science death march）。
But, it turns out, middle and high school students are having most of the fun,building their erector sets and dropping eggs into water to test the first lawof motion. The excitement quickly fades as students brush up against thereality of what David E. Goldberg, an emeritus engineering professor, calls “the math-science death march.” Freshmen incollege wade through a blizzard of calculus, physics and chemistry in lecturehalls with hundreds of other students. And then many wash out.
