AMC 10 Full Competition Prep Program

Designed for students with some competition experience and a good school math foundation, but who have not yet systematically organized their competition knowledge and have gaps across topic areas. Students scoring 9–14 correct answers on the AMC 10 diagnostic test are placed in the full program.

The course goal is to help students build a complete and systematic competition math knowledge system, gradually mastering problem-solving techniques and strategies through topic-specific training. After the course, students can further participate in pre-exam sprint sessions and one-on-one tutoring based on their progress.
