Course Overview

The AMC 12 is a challenging multiple-choice competition designed to help students develop their problem-solving abilities. It acts as the initial gateway for selection to the U.S. team competing in elite international mathematics contests, such as the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

The AMC 12 covers the entire high school curriculum, including all AMC 10 topics—such as basic geometry, elementary algebra, elementary number theory, and elementary probability—along with more advanced subjects like trigonometry, advanced algebra, and advanced geometry, while explicitly excluding calculus.

The competition is intended for high school students in grades 12 and below, with a maximum age of under 19.5 years on the day of the competition. Our online AMC 12 tutoring program provides the targeted, advanced quantitative knowledge required to achieve a top-tier score. By preparing effectively with us, students can significantly boost their chances of advancing to the next qualifying rounds and stand out on their college applications.

What You Will Learn

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Algebra: Covers the full range of high school algebra, including introductory, intermediate, and advanced topics.
  • Geometry: Encompasses the entire high school geometry curriculum, spanning introductory to advanced levels, including both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry.
  • Trigonometry: Includes the complete high school trigonometry syllabus—six trigonometric functions and their inverses, graphs of trigonometric functions, the unit circle, trigonometric equations, and identities.
  • Number Theory: Explores divisibility rules, modular arithmetic, prime factorization, and Diophantine equations.
  • Combinatorics & Probability: Focuses on permutations, combinations, the binomial theorem, and advanced probability concepts.

Exam Overview

  • Format: The AMC 12 is offered in both paper-and-pencil and digital formats.
  • Exam Description: The exam is a 25-question multiple-choice competition. There are two versions: the ‘A’ and ‘B’ competitions. Competition managers choose the date that fits their schedule, or students may participate in both. (Note: Students may not take both the AMC 10 and AMC 12 on the exact same day).
  • Duration: Students are given exactly 75 minutes to complete the exam, requiring quick and accurate problem-solving skills.
  • Scoring: The AMC 12 uses a unique scoring system to discourage random guessing. Students earn 6 points for every correct answer, 1.5 points for every question left blank, and 0 points for every incorrect answer (maximum score: 150).
  • Calculator Use: Calculators are not permitted. No questions require the use of a calculator.
