Format

Participation in the USAJMO is by invitation only. The test is administered to approximately the top 250 student combined scorers on the AMC 10 and AIME. The USAJMO problems consist of 6 detailed solutions to short-answer problems. The topics include the standard high school curriculum up to 10th Grade, but in much greater detail.

Scoring

The test consists of 6 problems, administered over two days, like the USAMO. Each problem is worth 7 points. The students are given 4.5 hours each day to complete 3 problems. There is often a problem overlap with the USAMO. The top scorers on the USAJMO are invited to Red MOP at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
