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.
Strengthen advanced math concepts, develop efficient problem-solving strategies, and practice challenging competition questions with one-on-one online AMC 12 tutoring.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
The AMC 12 challenges students to apply high school mathematics creatively under time pressure. Many questions require multi-step reasoning and unfamiliar approaches rather than direct formula application.
Common challenges include:
Personalized tutoring helps students strengthen mathematical foundations, explore alternative solution methods, and practice applying strategies to challenging AMC 12 problems.

Yes. Online tutoring provides flexibility, convenience, and access to subject experts who specialize in advanced mathematics.
Absolutely. The AMC 12 is designed for advanced learners. Our tutoring allows them to focus entirely on the highest-difficulty questions, improving their chances of qualifying for the USA team.
The AMC 12 covers high school mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, number theory, combinatorics, and probability. Calculus is excluded.
The AMC 12 consists of 25 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 75 minutes. Calculators are not permitted. Students should consult the official Mathematical Association of America (MAA) guidelines for current competition rules.
Students can review core concepts, practice past AMC 12 problems, compare different solution methods, and analyze mistakes. Timed practice helps improve accuracy and develop efficient problem-solving strategies.
Strong AMC 12 performance may help students qualify for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME). Qualification depends on the applicable year's official eligibility and cutoff rules.
Students should begin early enough to identify learning gaps, strengthen mathematical concepts, and practice progressively more challenging problems before the competition.
No. Calculators are not permitted during the AMC 12. Students should practice solving problems using mathematical reasoning and efficient written methods.
