This series of contests will once again be designed for people to get more familiar and obtain extra practice with the MAA series test, i.e. AMC, AIME, and USA(J)MO, and we have again called it the Test Mathematics Competitions (TMC), the Online Test Invitational Examination (OTIE), and the Online Test Junior Mathematical Olympiad (OTJMO), respectively. Please note that, unlike the MAA Tests, you do not have to qualify for a competition to take it, and you do not have to be under a certain age to take any of the tests.
Important Updates and Credits:

Aftermath (haha get it):
After you submit a contest, you will be added to our private discussion forum here. After the window for each contest officially closes, we will create threads of the problems in the Season 2 Discussion Forum here. Anonymous feedback forms are presented here; but we will only private message you the password after you submit a test. Please do not publicly discuss the problems on the tests until we have posted at least one problem to the forum or posted the answer key.
Message about Trolling:
Remember that trolling or intentionally sabotaging this thread will demonstrate a lack of maturity in you and reflect negatively. Being able to take this test is our gift to you and the AoPS community, but we do not have to give it. So, please do not try to sabotage our thread. It will only waste the time of AoPS mods and admins, along with wasting your time. If you have any questions or concerns, the best way to tell us is by private message.
Finally... Stay safe and inflate the Math curve!
