From students

Praise for our Mastering MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 course.

"Thank you so much for offering this class! I think it helped very, very much....I think I have a much clearer view of Mathcounts than before this class started. I am so impressed! This was an awesome experience."

"I learned a lot and i felt like a had a tutor by my side. I could ask any questions if I had any about the subject we were talking about. I wasn't too challenged that i couldn't keep up, but I was challenged enough to get better."

"I would definitely recommend this class to everyone attempting to excel in MathCounts at the state and national level."

Who should take this class

This class is appropriate for students with significant MATHCOUNTS or other problem solving experience. Most students taking this class should be at least somewhat confident that they will proceed to State MATHCOUNTS.

Students who have not had exposure to algebra I (or equivalent training through prior preparation for MATHCOUNTS) should start with our Introduction series of classes. Please visit our Course Recommendations page to determine which class is best for you.

Less experienced students may also consider our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics course.

Textbook

This course does not require a textbook. Many students and top MATHCOUNTS teams use our Introduction series of texts to prepare for MATHCOUNTS, and many use our Art of Problem Solving Volume 1 to prepare for State and Nationals competitions.
