Who Should Take?

Our AMC 12 course is designed for high-school students who have completed an algebra and geometry course and can currently score 60+ on the AMC 12 contest. Students not yet meeting this standard should instead consider Introduction to Geometry, Introduction to Counting & Probability, Introduction to Number Theory, or one of our Intermediate courses. Students who consistently score 90+ on the AMC 12 would probably not benefit from this course and should instead consider our AIME A and AIME B courses.
