The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development of problem-solving skills.
AMC 8 is a national-level middle school math contest, and Random Math students have continuously excelled in it.
In 2019, 29 students made it to the top 1% of AMC 8 participants, out of which 9 had a perfect score. An additional 57 students made it into the top 5 - 10%.
The AMC 8, hosted by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), is the middle school version of the AMC 10, which is the first of tests in deciding the U.S. IMO team.
