Important Procedures

Format

There are two official dates for the AMC 10 & AMC 12. The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are to be given at the same time within each participating school on TUESDAY, January 31, 2006 (AMC 10-A & AMC 12-A), or WEDNESDAY, February 15, 2006 (AMC 10-B & AMC 12-B) in a convenient 75-minute interval, preferably in the morning. All four contests consist of 25 questions. Each correct answer scores 6 points, a blank scores 2.5 points and an incorrect answer scores 0 points. The AMC 10 and AMC 12 have several questions in common. The students in grades 10 and below should choose between the AMC 10 and AMC 12. Students in grades 11 and 12 may only take the AMC 12. All rules and awards apply to both contests for all schools and students. Any student who missed the exam may take it unofficially, and we will be happy to grade it. Students may take the contest booklets home with them the day of the contest.

Answer Forms

The AMC 10 and AMC 12 each have their own color coded answer form (AMC 10-orange and AMC 12-red). Contest B answer forms have instructions in black ink. Please be careful to match the correct answer form with the appropriate contest when passing out the papers.

AIME Qualification

Students who are in the top 5% of all AMC 12 participants or score at least 100 points on the AMC 12, and those who are in the top 1% of all AMC 10 participants or score at least 120 on the AMC 10 are invited to participate in the American Invitational Mathematics Examination.

Results

We will send your school’s results by email (if available) and first class mail as soon as the answer forms are scored. If you have not received your results from our office within 30 days after the contest, please contact us to verify that your answer forms were in fact received. All student Answer Forms are held for 90 days after the exam date, then they are recycled.
