AMC 12, AIME & USAMO

For the 2027 AIME, eligible students who score 85 or higher on the AMC 12 qualify to register for the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) — the gateway to USAMO (USA Mathematical Olympiad) consideration. Under MAA's current selection process, AIME performance is the primary factor for USAMO, not a combined AMC + AIME score. Practicing with real AMC 12 tests is essential to boost your chances.

Yes. The AMC 12 is offered twice each contest cycle as Version A and Version B. Prepare for the full syllabus rather than tailoring your study to one version.
Yes. They are two separate exams in the same contest cycle, each with its own problem set and administration date.

Step-by-step solutions plus analytics on accuracy, timing, and topic mastery.
After you complete an AMC 12 practice test, our AI Test Review gives you personalized feedback. It uses historic data to benchmark your attempt against typical performance on similar problems and to prioritize recommendations that usually help students improve. It will:
  • Analyze your performance across topics and difficulty levels
  • Highlight strengths and areas to improve
  • Explain questions you missed in depth
  • Suggest targeted practice so you know what to work on next

The goal is to help you see not only what you got wrong, but why—and how to do better on your next attempt.

Two versions each year — Version A and Version B in early November. Confirm the current cycle on the MAA AMC page.
The next AMC 12 is in November 2026. The AMC 12 A is on November 5th, 2026 and the AMC 12 B is on November 13th, 2026. Always verify dates on the official MAA calendar before making plans.
No—you don’t need a school math team, but students and parents do not register directly with the MAA. Ask your school whether it participates in the AMC. If your school doesn’t offer the contest, locate a participating college, university, math circle, or learning center that can register you.
Always confirm registration deadlines, exam dates, contest rules, eligibility requirements, and policies directly with the MAA AMC program before you register.
