AMC 8/10 Prep Sat 7:00pm

This is the continuation course to the AMC8 course, and the goal is to bridge the gap between AMC8 and AMC10. Students planning to get a competitive score in AMC8 or to participate in AMC10 for the first time to test water are all good candidates for this course. More advanced math knowledge and problem solving skills will be covered. Problems in this course are becoming more challenging, and hopefully students will enjoy cracking out more impossible problems.

Every Saturday 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM (EST)
From 1/28/2023 –  6/17/2022 (no class during spring break week)
