From students
"Great teaching, great problems. This will help a lot for the AMC 12."
"I thought that the instructor (Mr. Patrick) was good at explaining things very well to anyone who had questions. I really think this was a very fun and awesome course, and was a great experience for my first AoPS course. I learned a ton of new math, with the added *bonus* of improving my AMC 12 score. I would love to take another AoPS class in the future."
This course helps students prepare for the AMC 12, which is the first test in the series of contests that determine the United States team for the International Mathematics Olympiad. The class will consist of discussion of problems from past exams, as well as strategies for taking the test.

This class is ideal for a student who scores in the 80-120 range on the AMC 12. Students who are just beginning with the AMC 12 and are not likely to score this high should start with our Introduction series of classes. Those who are already consistently scoring over 120 should move on to our Intermediate series of classes.
This course does not require a textbook. Many students and top math teams use our Art of Problem Solving Volume 1 and our Art of Problem Solving Volume 2 to prepare for the AMC 12.
Future dates for this course have not been scheduled yet.
