<p>^Oh that stinks that your school doesn’t offer them.</p>
<p>However, I think you can apply at a nearby school (perhaps not even in your district). Atleast for the 2008 AMC/AIME, we invited two eighth graders to take the AMC 10B because it was not offered in their school, and it was actually very important for one of them because for the cutoff, he used the 10B score + AIME to make USAMO (he would not have made it with the A score from his school). And his name on the USAMO list is listed for his regular school, so I guess they allowed him to take one of the AMC’s at our school, not his regular school and still qualify through his regular school (not even in his district as my school is a public high school and his school was a private middle school). Don’t know if the rules have changed though.</p>
<p>EDIT: Hey you can still do it even if you are going to be a senior (although it won’t affect your college apps). Like I said, do it because you like them, not just for colleges. You should definitely take the time to challenge yourself, if you can take those tests/do research.</p>
