2. The American Mathematics Contest
(AMC) is prestigious as well as
challenging national competition
organized by the Mathematical
Association of America (MAA).
Participants from this major American
mathematical Olympiad are selected
to represent the United States at
International Mathematical Olympiad.
Open to grades VI to XII, this exam
consists of 25 AMC practice problems
based on knowledge and logic.
3. Let us get to
know some
tips and
tricks to
prepare for
this
prestigious
exam.
4. Learn to solve problems
AMC is not just about
knowing math and
rote problems; it is
also about knowing
concepts inside and
out and uses them to
solve tricky problems.
Do whatever it takes to excel
in the art of solving
mathematical problems, like
taking advice from ex AMC
toppers, using different types
of resources, go through
websites with certain types of
problems, advice on pre-books,
joining forums where you can
learn about successful
strategy and study tips.
5. Practice
Do lots of practice problems
and correct them where
required. Analyze your
weaker points and if you
wrong a problem, figure out
how to correct it next time.
Take help of good books for
improving your problem-
solving ability.
6. Quality practice problems
Solve previous AMC
problems when possible. It
will help you to understand
the format and type of
questions. Take help of your
friends, math teacher or
online forum for problem-
solving. The better you
understand AMC problems,
more likely is your chances
of preparing for the real
thing.
7. Keep test-taking
conditions real
Quality practice time is key
to any examination
practice. Keep your test-
taking conditions same
during preparation, like
practice in a quiet room, sit
at proper table and desk,
review problems. Stay alert
and focused.
Apart from these tips, be
careful about small
