American Math Competition

American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) leads the world in strengthening the mathematical capabilities of the next generation of problem-solvers. Through classroom resources and friendly competition, the AMC program helps America’s educators identify talent and foster a love of mathematics. It positively impacts the analytical skills needed for future careers in an innovative society.

Transitions Lab Preparatory School is the official international program group manager for the following regions and categories:

South Asia, Middle East, Southeast Asia, All global IB schools 

WHY TAKE AMC ?

• Provides an opportunity for high school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and unique problem-solving challenges in a low-stress and friendly environment. 
• The first in a series of competitions that lead all the way to the International Mathematical Olympiad. 
• The students with top scores on the AMC 10 or 12, may be invited to take the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME).
