Art of Problem Solving has some online classes that cover advanced math topics to a greater depth. They also have math classes to prepare you for contest math. I believe all classes are under $400 (including the price of a textbook). I’d check them out. My favorite is “Olympiad Geometry.” Definitely visit artofproblemsolving.com as it definitely might help you.

You can always look for previous questions asked at the competitions as practice and try to figure out how to solve them. I’m sure you can look on Amazon for some AMC preparation books.

I recommend doing a lot of different problem and then try to figure out your strengths and weaknesses. If you got a problem wrong, look up how to solve that type of problem and correct your areas.

Contest math is generally harder than regular math, so it is normal to have difficulty in it and still do well in school.

I hope my answer provided at least some help, and I wish you the best of luck. If you need to follow up with me on anything, that’s fine.
