Posted by If students have not already started preparing for the 2020-21 Math Competitions, the start of the school year is a great time to also start competition prep. This way students build good study habits, balancing school work and extracurricular preparation. Preparing throughout the school year gives time for improvement and helps build a strong foundation that will stay with them for years to come.

MATHCOUNTS
The MATHCOUNTS team competition has various levels that compete throughout the school year. Much of the knowledge needed for MATHCOUNTS overlaps with the AMC 8 and AMC 10/12 competitions. We recommend any student preparing for MATHCOUNTS should also prepare for the AMC 8 and AMC 10 or 12.
Students starting out with MATHCOUNTS and wishing to improve at the school and chapter level should start by preparing for the AMC 8.
