American Mathematics Competition, February 27, 2008

|
The American Mathematics Contests 10/12 are respectively, two 25-question, 75-minute, multiple-choice examinations in secondary school mathematics containing problems which can be understood and solved with pre-calculus concepts. Both are designed for students in a program leading to a high school diploma, with the AMC 10 specifically for those under 17.5 years of age on the day of the contest, and not enrolled in grades 11 or 12 or equivalent. The AMC 12 is designed for students under 19.5 years of age on the day of the contest. After the contest is taken, the contest administrator sends AMC the answer forms, and the AMC will score, compile and send email results back to the school, usually within 3 weeks. Results are followed up with a written report, accompanied by the awards for the school. AMC 12 students who rank in the top 5% nationally (or score at least 100) will qualify for the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME). AMC 10 students who rank in the top 1% nationally (or score at least 120) will also qualify for the AIME. More information on the AMC is available at http://www.unl.edu/amc/ There is no cost to participate in the competitions, but we do need students to
register ASAP since space is limited in Boca: 6 spaces available for AMC12 8 spaces available for AMC10
