Dear Senior,
You may be wondering, "What is the AMC?" Well, to be succinct, the AMC is a national math competition offered to middle and high school students across the country. (Click the link for more information.) However, this is not your average math. This is more difficult Number Theory. This requires more critical thinking and logic to solve. You don't have to sit for the actual competition, but I recommend taking practice AMC 12 tests on the AoPS Website here. Why exactly? By taking a difficult timed exam, you can learn how to manage stress and still think critically. These skills are very important, especially to a senior who is dealing with the stress of applying to college. This is great practice.
If you actually want to time and score your test, learn more about the logistics here.
Best of luck,
