What is the AMC, and why does it matter?
The AMC 8 and AMC 10 are the American Mathematics Competitions, the most widely recognised math competitions for school-age students in North America. The AMC 8 is open to Grade 8 and below; the AMC 10 to Grade 10 and below.
Unlike school math, AMC problems test pattern recognition, creative reasoning, and problem-solving under time pressure — skills standard curricula rarely develop. A student who tops their class may find AMC 8 problems genuinely challenging. That gap between school performance and competition readiness is exactly what our free assessment identifies.
Is This the Right Programme for Your Child?
Our AMC 8 programme is open to students in Grades 3–8. Our AMC 10 programme is open to students in Grades 7–10.
AMC 8 Preparation
For students in Grades 3–8 who are ready to go beyond school math.
AMC 10 Preparation
For students in Grades 7–10 aiming for AIME and beyond.
Already Excelling in School
For students who top their class and want an external benchmark for where they really stand.
What the Assessment Covers
The AMC 8 tests arithmetic, number theory, geometry, counting, and probability. Our free assessment mirrors this structure — giving your child a realistic picture of where they are strong and where preparation would make the biggest difference.
The AMC 10 builds on these foundations with greater emphasis on algebra, combinatorics, and multi-step reasoning. Our assessment identifies whether your child is ready to compete at AMC 10 level or would benefit from structured preparation first.

What parents say about us
My child is preparing for AMC8 with a friend, and we clearly felt the difference after joining Think Academy. The teacher explains concepts thoroughly and teaches how to transfer knowledge instead of just memorizing patterns. This has made my child’s problem-solving more structured and confident.
My child received the “Best in Mathematics” award at school this year. This achievement is closely related to your teaching—thank you! Ever since taking your classes, he has consistently ranked first in math.
Following Think Academy made a huge difference. UTS entrance exam math wasn't a problem for my kid at all. This year the math difficulty even felt lower, and Think Academy’s preparation helped immensely.
Think Academy is truly responsible and trustworthy. My older child used to study with Think Academy back in China and did extremely well in math. Now Steven has just started, and I want him to continue learning here. The teaching quality is consistent and impressive.
