====What is the AMC 8 Contest====
+
# [[User:Zhenghua|zhenghua]]
The AMC 8 is a math contest organized by the [https://www.maa.org/math-competitions/amc-8 Mathematical Association of America (MAA)]. The AMC 8 contest consists of 25 multiple-choice questions that must be completed within 40 minutes. There is no negative marking on this test, so remember to select an answer for every problem, even if you have to guess.

<!-- Put your own username here, please! Don't forget to increment the visitor count, which is up there! -->
Students must be in grade 8 or below and also under 14.5 years of age on the day of the competition. Note that students in elementary schools are also eligible to take the contest.
 
  
====Where can you take the AMC 8====
+
<!-- Enhanced Site Statistics -->
Many middle schools host the contest in their school. If your middle school doesn't offer the contest, you can try requesting your math teachers or principal to consider becoming a hosting site. You can also search for nearby locations hosting the contest using this [https://amc-reg.maa.org/amc_external/SchoolSearchByZipCode.aspx zip code search].

*'''Being able to apply concepts to tricky problems:'''  these are math content problems and the problems are not straightforward like in school math so the problems require creative thinking and that's something that can only be achieved with more practice
 
  
*​'''Solving the problems accurately:''' You need to learn how to avoid common mistakes like calculation errors, silly mistakes, misreading the questions, etc.

🏆 My Competition History

How to Prepare for...

A middle school math competition focused on basic problem-solving skills. Preparation involves practicing with past problems, strengthening number sense, and reviewing fundamental math topics like algebra and geometry.

A high school math competition covering algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. Prepare by solving past AMC 10 problems, mastering important mathematical concepts, and developing efficient problem-solving strategies.

A more challenging version of the AMC 10, aimed at high school students. It tests advanced topics such as trigonometry, calculus, and combinatorics. Prepare by diving deeper into high-level math concepts and practicing with difficult problems.

A highly challenging math competition that follows the AMC 10/12. It focuses on problem-solving with a higher level of difficulty. Prepare by solving past AIME problems, and mastering advanced topics like number theory and combinatorics.

A math competition for middle school students that tests algebra, geometry, and problem-solving skills. To excel, practice mental math, solve problems quickly, and review common topics such as sequences, patterns, and combinatorics.

The Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) competition focuses on reasoning and problem-solving. Preparation involves sharpening your ability to think critically and solve creative problems across a range of mathematical topics.

The National Science Bowl (NSB) is a science and math competition that requires strong knowledge in both fields. While not exclusively math-focused, preparation should include reviewing scientific principles, math-related topics, and interdisciplinary knowledge.

The F=ma (Force $=$ Mass $\times$ Acceleration) competition tests students on physics and math problem-solving. It focuses on mechanics and physics-related math. To prepare, strengthen your understanding of physics principles, practice solving physics problems, and apply mathematical concepts in physics contexts.

The American Computer Science League (ACSL) is a competition that challenges students in computer science and programming. It covers topics such as algorithms, data structures, and programming languages. Prepare by studying coding concepts, practicing algorithm design, and solving past ACSL problems.

The USA Computing Olympiad (USACO) is a programming competition that tests students on algorithmic problem-solving and computer science concepts. It features problems in areas such as sorting, searching, dynamic programming, and graph theory. Prepare by mastering programming languages (especially C++, Java, or Python), practicing with past USACO problems, and learning key algorithms and data structures.
