If Your School is an Official Test Center

If your school has a partnership with ASDAN and serves as a test center, students can register either through their school’s unified registration system or individually via the ASDAN mini-program.

To register individually: Navigate to the homepage, locate the Mathematics section, select American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 8/10 & 12), and click Register Now in the bottom right corner.

How to Verify if Your School is a Test Center

After logging into your account, scroll down on the registration page to the School Information section. Enter your school’s exact name. If the school appears in the search results, it is an official test center. If it does not appear, your school is not a designated center.

Ensure you enter the correct school name. Both exact matches and fuzzy searches are supported.

If Your School is Not a Test Center

If your school does not appear in the system, you can use the following alternative registration method:
