Late Registrations (registrations after Jan. 26) will be accepted via FAX 402-472-6087. We accept Visa & MasterCard, or we require a Purchase Order # for billed orders. If a Purchase Order is not appropriate, we will require a "Letter of Intent to Pay" which can be faxed to you. This letter can be used either if you intend to send a check or if you want to be billed without a Purchase Order. For Frequently Asked Questions about the new tests, please check out our FAQ page.  

This year we have Web registration available at:

http://www.math.unl.edu/~amc/registration.

Please submit your registration as soon as possible. Early registration will reduce your cost, provide you with ample time to read the Teachers' Manual and complete all pre-examination activities.

If your school chooses not to participate, there is still the possibility of taking the contest at a local college or university. MAA affiliates across the country offer the AMC 10/12 B contest on the B contest date. For more information please check the Institutions of Higher Learning page: http://unl.edu/amc/b-registration/b1-archive/2008-2009/CU2009/2009-CU-list.shtml.

AIME Registration

Registration for the AIME is automatic. Any students taking the AMC 12 and scoring in the top 5% or over 100, or are in the top 1% of the scores on the AMC 10 qualify. The testing materials (including the tests, answer sheets, teachers manual, and computer identification form) are included with the results packet from the AMC 10 and/or the AMC 12.

There is no additional registration fee for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination, unless you choose to take the second sitting of the exam. An additional administrative/shipping fee is charged, with a minimum of $25.00 for the first 10 students and $50.00 for over 10 students. This is explained more thoroughly in the AMC 10/12 and AIME Teacher's Manuals.

USAMO Registration

There is no additional registration fee for the USAMO. Registration for the USAMO is automatic. The method of selection of USAMO participants is based on the student’s index which is a combination of the AMC and AIME scores. The testing materials will be made available on-line on the appropriate day. Your Teacher's Manual will have pertinent details.

IMO Registration

Registration for the United States entrants for the IMO is handled by the the American Mathematics Competitions, through the International Mathematics Olympiad Committee. There is no charge to the chosen students for any of the expenses related to the IMO or their transportation or lodging.
