The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development of problem-solving skills. Most middle schools have students taking the AMC 8 directly in the schools however some schools may not do this. If you are in one of these schools or you are in less than 6th grade, the AMC 8 can be taken at many other places such as Alphastar Academy, Stanford Math Circle, StarLeague, SpringLight Education, etc. Some middle schools also allow outside students, so you can also email the Math teachers in the middle school of your area.

The AMC 10 is for students in 10th grade and below, and covers the high school curriculum up to 10th grade. The AMC 10 is the first in a series of competitions that eventually lead all the way to the International Mathematical Olympiad (see Invitational Competitions).
The AMC 12 is a 25-question, 75-minute, multiple choice examinations in high school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills. The AMC 12 is for students in 12th grade and below, and covers the high school curriculum up to 12th grade. The AMC 12 is the first in a series of competitions that eventually lead all the way to the International Mathematical Olympiad (see Invitational Competitions).
This stands for American Invitational Mathematics Examination. The students are selected based on their scores in AMC 10 (top 2.5% of students) or AMC12 (top 5% of students).
