Edina Center for Academic Excellence once again offers American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) testing on the AMC 10 and AMC 12 tests on Tuesday 9 February 2010 (the “A” date for both contests). AMC tests are an excellent challenge for math learners and lead to awards, opportunities for school-year and summer special programs, and a tip factor when applying to college. Did you know that the contest is offered on two different dates (known as the “A” and “B” test date)? Highly competitive students will often choose to test on BOTH dates, since the contest is a different version for each date, thereby conferring an extra chance of attaining a score high enough to qualify for the next level. Some students who take the AMC 10 on one date, then elect to take the AMC 12 on the second date, again, hoping to see how well they do.
