Spring is in full swing and summer is right around the corner, what are your plans? At AoPS Online our schedule has new classes starting now through July, so be sure to keep your skills sharp and be prepared for the Fall school year! Check out the schedule of upcoming classes below.

WOOT early bird pricing is in effect, don’t miss out! If you took MathWOOT Level 2 last year, no worries, it is all new problems this year! Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor
[*]April 8th (Math Jam), 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, 2025 MATHCOUNTS State Discussion

Please help me fill in any missing details or correct any incorrect details. Note: any row with an * at the end means countdown is official in that state, to explain why some lower scores are ahead of higher ones.
The reason why there are no tiers and the chart is a lot less colorful than last year is because

2026 AMC 8C
ChaitraliKA   8
N 2 hours ago by Spacepandamath13
You’ve never seen an AMC 8 quite like this…

We, ChaitraliKA and Aaronjudgeisgoat, present
THE 2026 AMC 8C

Context

This is a totally legit mock test that you can use to predict what your real AMC 8 score will be!
We created many high quality problems for this test, and put our blood, sweat, and tears into it (and if u dont take it we’ll put your blood into it as well). We GUARANTEE that when you take a look at the problems, you will be stunned by the sheer quality oozing out of them. We know this for certain as we got this exact reaction from every single newborn baby that volunteered to take this test. This mock is perfect, not just for people looking to ace the AMC 8 next year, but even for high schoolers.

[quote=ChaitraliKA]
This was my first time making a mock, I wanted to make it as realistic as possible. As a person who has never taken an AMC 8 before, I thoroughly researched the types of problems and the format before making this. After some deep analysing, I have come to the conclusion that our mock highly resembles an AMC 8 with a -100% margin of error. I personally enjoyed making this, and put my heart and soul into making the problems and writing out the solutions. There was a lot of collaboration and every question has approval from both of us. As the most respected Cringe Nerdy Mathematician in history, I can guarantee you that it's not only about the math, it's about the experience of taking it. Please scroll down and take the test now. Thank you. [/quote]

[quote=Aaronjudgeisgoat]
After writing a MATHCOUNTS mock, I figured I would try and take it a step further - create an AMC 8 mock. As a fellow person who has never taken an AMC 8 before, I knew there was work needed to be done before I could accurately create one. I thoroughly reviewed the rules for this test, as well as the format. I even made sure to make every single answer choice viable, simulating the silliable nature of the actual AMC 8. We reviewed every single question, answer and solution, and after cross-comparing it with actual MAA exams, I found that it's not 100% accurate to the exam, but 200% accurate. That's right, it's accurate and even more accurate. Overall, this was a very fun experience, creating my first AMC mock so that people in need of math problems have something to work on. I thank @ChaitraliKA for giving me the opportunity to problem write, and I had a very fun time collaborating with the Cringiest and Nerdiest Mathematician of them all. In conclusion, I implore you to click the link below and proceed with the test, as not only will you learn, you will have fun.
Thank you for your blood.
[/quote]

You have two options on how to take it: Google Docs or MathDash
Google Docs:
Problems
Please read the guidelines carefully, and submit your answers for grading to ChaitraliKA and Aaronjudgeisgoat through AoPS PMs. We will send you the solutions as well, once we have graded you.
MathDash:
https://mathdash.fly.dev/contest/2026amc8c
If you do it on MathDash, we will still send you your final score through AoPS PMs, due to some issues.

We expect to start grading on April 15.

The leaderboard will be updated on the MSM post.
Good luck :)!


Please don't get this locked again. I will be very sad if that happens, because this is my 1000th post :wow:. We put a lot of effort into this. If you're going to be a goody-two-shoes, just try to solve the legit problems and ignore the rest.

If you don't want to waste time, here are the legit problems that we would like you to try

Mathcounts Target Resources
sadas123   3
N Mar 29, 2025 by Andyluo
I was wondering what I could use to practice for Mathcount Target rounds because my sprint is normally 23-25+ (Depending on the level: This is for Chapter, but some times for states) but my target is normally 8-10 (Depending on the level: This is normally for states and some time Nats) and I want that to go up to 12-14 So I was wondering what are some good resources to build that problem solving knowledge for target, and some resources that will help me learn the complex problems on there mostly for Geometry and Algebra.

For MATHCOUNTS target, the main importance is practicing harder tests, and doing harder contests such as the AMC 10/AIME with longer times.

Sprint I've realized that the theory is usually really easy, (but at some level you have to practice it) the main emphasis is not sillying and going insanely fast
