For listed of top teams and students,

The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) began in 1950 with the American High School Mathematics Exam (AHSME). In 1983 the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME) was initiated for students scoring 100 or higher on the AHSME. In 1986, the American Junior High School Mathematics Exam (AJHSME) was introduced. In 2000, the names of the AJHSME and AHSME were changed to AMC8 and AMC12, and a new AMC10 test, designed for students up to and including grade 10, was introduced. Forms A and B of the AMC 10 and AMC 12 were offered for the first time in 2002, so that schools with conflicts on the designated date for the exams could offer them on an alternate date. This year, students with AMC12 scores ≥ 100 or AMC10 scores ≥ 110 (Form A) or ≥120 (Form B) qualify for the AIME. Increasingly selective groups of AIME participants will be invited to the USA Mathematical Olympiad, the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program, and finally to represent the U.S. in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
