The AMC is a 25-question, multiple-choice math competition. It covers material that the average precalculus student can be expected to know, but applies it in very original ways that require a lot of thinking.

Tentatively, the 2008 AMC12A is scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, and the AMC12B is scheduled for Wednesday, February 27. You can take either or both; to maximize your chances at AIME/USAMO qualification, it’s best to take both if you can.

Scoring is 6 points for each correct answer, and 1.5 for each question left blank. Calculators are NOT allowed starting in 2008. You need 100 points (usually) to advance to the AIME.

That answer your questions?
