AMC 12 Final Fives

This course is designed specifically to tackle the challenging final five problems of the AMC 12, the first in the series of contests that determine the United States team for the International Mathematics Olympiad. Many prestigious universities also consider AMC scores as part of the college application process. This course teaches you the tactics needed for the last five problems, which often determine the high scorers in the exam. Our sessions will include in-depth discussions of these types of problems, as well as unique, effective strategies to approach them. By the end of the course, students will not only have a clear understanding of these complex problems. This course includes a practice competition focusing on the last five problems of the AMC 12.

The course really taught me how to think in a problem-solving fashion, and applying previous knowledge to new concepts and proofs. I learned a lot about how to prove things and how to explain them in a logical manner. I think it was a great course to begin studies in discrete mathematics.
