关于AMC 8

AMC 8（American Mathematics Competition 8）由美国数学协会（MAA）主办，是一项面向全球13岁及以下学生的高水平数学竞赛。作为全球最具影响力的中学生数学赛事之一，AMC 8不仅考察学生的数学理解力和解题思维，还强调逻辑推理与创造性思考能力。

在国际升学中，AMC系列成绩广受全球名校认可，尤其对申请顶尖高中项目、未来冲击名校STEM专业有重要加分作用。AMC 8一等奖获奖者通常位列全球参赛者前2%左右，具体比例根据当年参赛人数和分数线略有浮动，但普遍在前1%-3%之间，含金量极高！

The AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competition 8) is organized by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and is a prestigious mathematics competition open to students aged 13 and under worldwide.
As one of the most influential middle school mathematics contests globally, AMC 8 assesses students' mathematical understanding and problem-solving abilities, while also emphasizing logical reasoning and creative thinking skills.

In terms of international admissions, results from the AMC series are highly recognized by top schools around the world. Strong performance in AMC competitions is particularly advantageous for students applying to elite high school programs and for those aiming to pursue STEM majors at prestigious universities in the future.
Students who receive a First Place Award in AMC 8 typically rank within the top 2% of participants globally. This percentage may vary slightly each year depending on the total number of participants and the cutoff scores, but generally falls between the top 1% and 3%, reflecting the competition’s exceptional level of prestige.

参考2024年AMC 8竞赛数据概览

全球参赛人数：约272,359人

美国参赛人数：约231,478人

平均分：10.75分（满分25分）

Honor Roll of Distinction（前1%）分数线：22分

Honor Roll（前5%）分数线：18分Ivy League Education

根据这些数据，获得Honor Roll of Distinction的学生约有2,723人，Honor Roll的学生约有13,618人。因此，获得Honor Roll of Distinction的学生位列全球前1%，而获得Honor Roll的学生位列前5%。如果某位学生获得了Honor Roll of Distinction奖项，意味着他在全球超过27万名参赛者中排名前1%，含金量极高。

2024 AMC 8 Competition Data Overview

Global Participants: Approximately 272,359 students
Participants from the United States: Approximately 231,478 students
Average Score: 10.75 out of a maximum score of 25
Honor Roll of Distinction (Top 1%) Cutoff: 22 points
Honor Roll (Top 5%) Cutoff: 18 points

Based on these figures, approximately 2,723 students qualified for the Honor Roll of Distinction, and about 13,618 students made it onto the Honor Roll.
Thus, students who achieve the Honor Roll of Distinction are ranked in the top 1% worldwide, while those on the Honor Roll are ranked in the top 5%.
Earning a place on the Honor Roll of Distinction signifies that a student ranks among the top 1% out of over 270,000 participants globally — an achievement of exceptional distinction.

Constance’s Reflection

获奖学生感言

进入IG课程后，我发现数学难度有了很大提升，集合、函数、几何、微积分这些抽象概念一度让我很吃力。还好在AIC，老师们用独特又有趣的教学方法，引导我一步步突破难关。有一次，一道数列难题困住了我，老师没有直接告诉我答案，而是通过提问、引导我从基本定义出发，最终自己找到了解题思路。这种学习体验让我意识到，数学不只是课本里的题目，它还联系着生活和其他学科。从那以后，我开始主动探索数学的应用，学习方法也发生了质的变化。备考AMC 8时，我在打好基础知识点的前提下，每天坚持做一套真题，及时总结错题，调整心态，最终收获了今天的成绩。特别感谢AIC老师的陪伴和引导，让我在数学学习的道路上重新出发，不断前行。

After transitioning into the IG curriculum, I found that the difficulty of mathematics had significantly increased. Abstract concepts like sets, functions, geometry, and calculus were particularly challenging for me. Fortunately, at AIC, my teachers used unique and engaging teaching methods to guide me step by step through these challenges.

I vividly remember a time when I was stuck on a difficult sequence problem. Instead of simply giving me the answer, my teacher guided me through the basic definitions and encouraged me to think back to similar problems I had solved before. Through this process, I was able to discover the solution on my own.

This experience taught me that mathematics is not confined to textbooks; it connects deeply with real life and other disciplines. Since then, I have taken the initiative to explore the applications of mathematics beyond the classroom, and this shift in mindset has helped me make even greater progress.

While preparing for the AMC 8, I focused first on building a solid foundation in algebra, geometry, number theory, and other core topics. In the final two weeks before the exam, I practiced by completing one set of past papers each day, reviewing my mistakes carefully, analyzing problem-solving strategies, and maintaining a positive mindset throughout.

I am especially grateful to the teachers at AIC for their support and guidance. They helped me rediscover my passion for mathematics and continue moving forward on my learning journey.
