Which one is right for me?

AMC 8 is for students in grade 8 and below: 25 questions in 40 minutes, and there is no penalty for a wrong answer. It is a great first contest.

AMC 10 is for students in grade 10 and below: 25 questions in 75 minutes, with 6 points for a right answer and 1.5 points for a blank. Strong scorers are invited to the next round, the AIME.

Not sure? If you are in grade 7 or 8 and finding AMC 8 questions easy, try AMC 10 Prep. Many students prepare for both. Contest rules, dates and eligibility can change, so check maa.org for this year's details.
