澳洲历史最悠久的数学竞赛。选择题 + 整数答案。分级:Middle Primary (Y3-4)、Upper Primary (Y5-6)、Junior (Y7-8)、Intermediate (Y9-10)、Senior (Y11-12)。共 30 道题,难度递增。
Top pick among math comps for primary kids. Lower entry cost than ICAS Math, broader recognition, the questions are genuinely good (designed to be learning experiences not just sorting). Worth it for anyone in OC-track or selective-track — high AMC scores are a credible signal. Skip if your kid finds school math hard; AMC will be discouraging. The Math Challenge for Young Australians is the next step up if AMC turns out well.

小学阶段数学竞赛中的首选。参赛费用比 ICAS Math 低,认可度更广,题目质量也很高——设计初衷是让孩子有所收获,而不只是拿来排名筛选。走 OC 或 Selective 路线的孩子都值得参加——AMC 的高分是含金量不低的能力证明。如果孩子在学校数学上已经有些吃力,就跳过吧,AMC 只会打击信心。如果 AMC 发挥不错,下一步可以考虑 Math Challenge for Young Australians。
