When can I take the AMC?

I am in 8th grade and I will be going into Algebra 2 next year. Does anyone know what is the earliest grade I can take the test? 9th? 10th? 11th?

9th.

The AMC 8 was offered back in November 2019. The AMC 10/12 for 2020 have also already occurred. You can take the next AMC 10 in likely January/February in 2021.

Last fall was the last time you could have taken the AMC8.

You can take the AMC10/12 as early as you want. My D’s math club had a 7th grader make the AMC10 Distinguished Honor Roll last year. Her younger brother, in 5th grade, also took it.

The AMC grade statistics go down to <=6th. There were well over 1,000 students in 6th or younger that took the test last year, including one perfect 150.

The next administration will be Jan/Feb. 2021, before they switch to a fall schedule for the 10/12. So it will be administered again in November 2021, then Novembers after that.
