Special AMC 8 Seminar (Version A)

This course is a special two-day, 5-hour seminar to prepare for the AMC 8 and other middle school level math contests. The AMC 8 is the premier fall math contest for middle school students, and also gives students early problem-solving experience that is valuable towards the high-school level AMC 10 and AMC 12 contests. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics over two lessons — during each lesson, class will meet over a 3-hour period, with a half-hour break in the middle. The course also includes a practice AMC 8 test. This course covers entirely different problems than the Special AMC 8 Seminar (Version B).

Overall, the course was excellent and I learned a lot. The textbook was awesome. The problems given in Alcumus and in the challenge set were fun to work on and helped me to understand the math concepts covered in the class. Each problem given was so unique (and sometimes even hilarious) that it tested my understanding of the concepts in completely different ways each time.
