Build Foundational and Advanced Mathematics Skills

In the Elite Math Competition Club, we start by reinforcing the fundamentals to ensure that they’re rock solid. Then we build upon them to take your student to the next level.

Students will focus on reviewing past material, mastering new concepts, and developing proven test-taking techniques—skills that will both help prepare them for challenging math competitions like the AMC 8 and ensure that they are ready for your next level of math courses in grade school or high school.

Get an Early Start on Building a Great College Application

The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple choice examination in middle school mathematics. The exam helps middle school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics. It also paves the way to more challenging high school exams and competitions, such as the AMC 10/12, the American Invitational Math Examination (AIME), and the USA Mathematical Olympiad.

Qualifying scores on any or all of these examinations can have an enormous impact on a student’s chances of acceptance to top STEM schools, such as MIT, Caltech, Harvey Mudd, UC Berkeley, and more.
