AMC topics we build mastery in.

AMC problems pull from a wide range of mathematical areas. We build deep understanding in all of them โ€” not just surface-level tricks.

๐Ÿ”ข

Number Theory

Divisibility, prime factorization, modular arithmetic, GCD/LCM โ€” the backbone of AMC 10/12 problem sets.

๐Ÿ“

Geometry

Triangles, circles, polygons, coordinate geometry, and area calculations under AMC time pressure.

๐ŸŽฒ

Counting & Probability

Combinations, permutations, binomial theorem, and complex probability scenarios that appear frequently.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Algebra

Equations, inequalities, functions, sequences, series, and polynomial manipulation at competition level.

๐Ÿ”Ž

Problem-Solving Strategies

Casework, symmetry, extremal principles, and proof by contradiction โ€” the meta-skills that AMC rewards.

โฑ๏ธ

Speed & Accuracy

75 minutes for 30 problems requires both mathematical fluency and efficient problem selection under pressure.

How we prepare AMC students.

01
Placement Assessment

We identify your current AMC level (AMC 8, 10, or 12 track) and map out the specific topics where you have the most to gain.

02
Topic Mastery Building

Deep dives into each AMC topic area โ€” not just problem exposure, but genuine conceptual understanding. We solve problems multiple ways.

03
Official Problem Practice

Systematic work through past AMC official problem sets (going back 10+ years), organized by topic and difficulty level.

04
Timed Mock Competitions

Full timed AMC simulations under real conditions. Students learn how to pace, which problems to skip, and which to prioritize for their score range.

05
Review & Error Analysis

After every mock, we review every missed problem โ€” not just the answer, but the optimal solution path and what the problem was really testing.

Taught by Mr. Sobaci โ€” personally.
