==What is the F=ma Contest==
 
−
The [https://aapt.org/physicsteam/PT-landing.cfm F=ma] is a physics contest organized by the [https://www.maa.org/math-competitions/amc-8 Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT)]. The F=ma exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions related to classical mechanics, and tests skills on how to apply fundamental principles to real-world scenarios. There is no negative marking, so remember to put an answer for every question.
 
−
 
 
−
​The top 400 students approximately on the F=ma are invited to take the [https://www.maa.org/math-competitions/amc-8 USA Physics Olympiad (USAPhO)]. The cut-off is usually between 14-18 for the USAPhO.
 
−
 
 
−
​There are two exams "F=ma A" and "F=ma B". Students may take both F=ma A & B exams, but they must meet or exceed the cutoff score for both exams to move on to the USAPhO exam. There is no benefit for students to take both exams.
 
−
 
 
−
​The exams are typically held in February. The problems can be solved without the use of calculus, although knowing basic calculus can help you find quicker solution for some problems.
 
−
 
 
−
==Who can take the F=ma==
 
−
Students taking the F=ma exam must be either U.S. Citizens, U.S. Permanent Residents (Green Card holders), or currently attending a U.S. school.
 
−
 
 
−
==Where can you take the F=ma==
 
−
Both the F=ma and USAPhO exams must be proctored. Parents or relatives of students are not acceptable proctors. It is expected that competitors will take the exam at their local school, though they may take the exam elsewhere if needed.
 
−
Homeschooled students should contact nearby high schools, community colleges, or universities to ask if they can take the exam there. Parents or relatives of homeschooled students are not acceptable proctors.
 
−
 
 
−
==How to score high on the F=ma==
 
−
So, how can you score well on the F=ma? Here are four key things to focus on:
 
−
 
 
−
*'''Understanding all the content:''' The exams asks questions only on mechanics, so you need to understand all the topics in mechanics and learn how to apply them to complex scenarios.
 
−
 
 
−
*​'''Solving the problems accurately:''' You need to simulate test conditions to learn how to avoid common mistakes like calculation errors, silly mistakes, misreading the questions, etc.
 
−
 
 
−
*'''Working quickly:''' You need to finish 25 problems in 75 minutes, and you need to learn good time management so you can attempt most of the questions without getting stuck.

🏆 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.
