OSSM hosts the American Mathematics Competition: AMC 10B, AMC 12B, and AMC 8. OSSM offers this to any middle and high school students in Oklahoma at no cost.
AMC 10B/12B Competition: The American Mathematics Competition (AMC) 10 and AMC 12 are both 25-question, 75-minute, multiple-choice examinations in high school mathematics designed to enhance problem-solving skills in high school students.
The AMC 8 is for students in 8th grade and below
The AMC 10 is for students in 10th grade and below
The entrance to the OSSM campus is on the corner of NE 10th Street and N Stiles Ave. You will enter through the library. Please plan on arriving at 2:30-2:45 pm in the Shedrick Library at OSSM. Please do not arrive before 2:30 as no one will be ready to receive you. At 2:30 p.m., OSSM students in the library building will direct you to the contest room, or parent presentation room.
Parents
Parents may leave and come back according to our expected conclusion time (about 4:15-4:30 pm).
Alternatively, parents may stay and hear a presentation about OSSM for parents of participants interested in considering OSSM for their last two years of high school.
The Contest
The contest will be administered in the Reading Room in the Manning Academic Center (MAC). When you arrive, participants will begin filling in the usual “bubbles” for your name, address, etc. As soon as that is complete, we will begin the contest. The contest is 75 minutes long. We anticipate being done by 4:15-4:30 pm.
The contest is 25 questions. Calculators are not allowed. You may only have a pencil, ruler, compass, and eraser (your responsibility to provide your own tools). Scratch paper will be provided.
You can find old tests at this website if you want to know what to expect.
