Our math competition tutors are specially trained on the tips and tricks that help students excel on these exams. Students develop problem-solving skills quickly as they tackle some of the most puzzling math questions they’ve ever seen. Even our most reluctant math students discover that challenging math problems can be an adventure instead of a chore!
We keep our headcount low so that we can offer an excellent experience to all of our participants. All testing materials are provided (although students are encouraged to bring approved personal items from home). If you have any questions about the testing environment, please let us know!
We would love to support you in preparing for the AMC or Math Kangaroo competitions, but we are excited to see you no matter what! Current and former AJ students receive priority early registration, but all local students are invited to participate.
Contact us any time starting September 1st to register for this school year’s competition! We offer the AMC 8, 10, and 12 competitions at no charge, and all registrants will receive a certificate of participation for attending. Math Kangaroo competitors pay a small fee to participate, which includes a T-shirt and a gift as well as a certificate of participation.
The AMC 10 and AMC 12 both happen in early November. There are two options for each competition, each about a week apart, and students can register for one or both options. Score results are sent to the competition manager a few weeks after competitions end, and AIME qualifying scores are announced by early December.

The AMC 8 competition happens in mid-January. Unlike the AMC 10 and 12, the AMC 8 has only one option available each year (although the schedule is more flexible, with different centers offering it at different times over the course of one week in January). Score results are sent to the competition manager a few weeks after the comptition week ends. There is no AIME qualifier for the AMC 8, but there is the opportunity for recognition.

The Math Kangaroo is held in mid-March. There is only one date, but multiple times offered for students who need some flexbility with scheduling. Score results are posted by the end of April and can be viewed by participants directly through the registration portal.
