What is AMC8

The American Mathematics Competition 8 (AMC 8) is an annual math contest for students in grades 8 and below across the United States. It's a 25-question, 40-minute exam that tests a range of mathematical problem-solving skills. Typically held in the third week of January every year. AMC8 is a crucial step for young enthusiasts aiming to excel in mathematics.


Our Goal at UniCoder

In the ever-evolving digital age, mastery in mathematics is vital. At UniCoder, our AMC8 Math Contest Prep course is dedicated to strengthening and deepening students' understanding of core mathematical concepts. We aim to equip them with advanced problem-solving strategies and enhance their critical thinking and analytical skills. Our objective is to prepare students for the AMC8 competition, emphasizing time management, question interpretation, and strategic guessing. Our course also lays the groundwork for progressing to higher levels like AMC10 & 12 and eventually qualifying for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) - a significant milestone and a substantial advantage for college applications.


Our paramount objective with the AMC8 Math Contest Prep is to go beyond mere academic success. We strive to cultivate a profound understanding of mathematical principles and algorithms in our students. This solid foundation is not just for the sake of excelling in competitions; it is a pivotal step towards their future learning in cutting-edge fields such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
