How the practice works

A mock exam that tells you what to do next

Scores on their own do not teach. Every timed attempt is scored by topic, so the result is a list of what to work on rather than a number to feel bad about.

1
Sit a timed mock
Full length, real time limit, drawn fresh from the bank.
2
See which topics cost you points
Accuracy per topic, pooled across every attempt on the subject — not just the last one.
3
Drill the weakest, then re-take
A focused set on that one topic, questions you have not seen first. Then sit another mock and watch the list get shorter.

Five contest topics, covered end-to-end

Every Free Quiz and Mock pulls from all five contest topics, mixed just like the real AMC 8. Here's what's covered — each problem includes a written solution.

Number Theory

Divisibility, primes, factors, remainders, LCM/GCD, and digit patterns.

Algebra

Linear equations, expressions, exponents, sequences, and word problems.

Geometry

Angles, area, perimeter, the Pythagorean theorem, and coordinate geometry.

Counting & Probability

Counting arrangements and combinations, plus introductory probability.

Multi-Step Problem Solving

Rates, ratios, percents, averages, and problems that take several linked steps.

How it works

1. Choose a topic

Number Theory, Algebra, Geometry, Counting & Probability, or Multi-Step. Work at your own pace, retry as often as you like.

2. See the solution

Every problem shows a full written solution — the reasoning that gets you there, not just the answer.

3. Track weak spots

Per-topic accuracy so you know exactly where to spend the last week before test day.

Why competition math matters more in the AI era

AI has made routine problem-solving cheap. What it has not made cheap is the judgment to tell a correct argument from a convincing wrong one.

That is the skill competition math trains: finding a path when no formula applies, and knowing your answer is right before anyone confirms it. Every problem here shows the full reasoning, not just the letter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these actual AMC problems?

No. Every problem here is independently authored by Texas CBE™ in the AMC style. We do not reproduce copyrighted MAA past contest problems. Real MAA past contests are available from the Mathematical Association of America; our practice material is a companion, not a substitute.

Is this affiliated with the MAA?

No. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. AMC®, AMC 8®, AMC 10®, and AMC 12® are their registered trademarks. This is an independent prep service.

AI can solve competition problems now. Is competition math still worth it?

Yes, and arguably more than before. Competition math is not training in applying a formula, which is the part AI made cheap. It is training in finding an approach when no formula fits, and in knowing an argument is airtight before anyone confirms it — the judgment that separates a correct solution from a convincing wrong one. Contests are also written on paper under time pressure with no AI, so the skill has to live in the student. Every problem here shows the full reasoning, not just the answer, for that reason.

Which contests can I practice for right now?

All three are available today on this same page. We built one rung at a time so every problem meets the same quality bar, and pricing is identical for each contest — so you can start where you are and climb as you grow.

How do I sign up for the actual contest?

AMC 8, AMC 10, and AMC 12 registration all go through your school. Ask your math teacher or gifted coordinator; if your school doesn't offer it, contact the MAA directly (maa.org) about nearby test centers.

What grade level is each contest for?

AMC 8 is open to grade 8 and below (most engaged students start in grades 5–7) and assumes comfort with pre-algebra. AMC 10 is open to grade 10 and below, and AMC 12 to grade 12 and below; both run 25 questions in 75 minutes.

How much does it cost, and does it renew?

One flat price for the contest you choose, paid once. It is not a subscription and there is no auto-renewal — access runs for 6 months from purchase and then simply ends. Every contest is priced the same, so starting at AMC 8 and climbing later costs no more than starting higher.
