The AMC mathematics contests will be administered at Herricks High School. Students participating in these competitions can qualify for the American Invitation Mathematical Competition (AIME). Depending on their AIME performance, students may be eligible for participation in the national and international math Olympiads.

Students interested in participating in these math contests can obtain more specific details from their math teachers about the administration of these tests. We encourage everybody who would like to take the AMCs to explore the links below to familiarize themselves with sample questions from past AMC tests: The Art of Problem Solving
