Special AMC 8 Seminar (Version A)

This course is a special two-day, 5-hour seminar to prepare for the AMC 8 and other middle school level math contests. The AMC 8 is the premier fall math contest for middle school students, and also gives students early problem-solving experience that is valuable towards the high-school level AMC 10 and AMC 12 contests. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics over two lessons — during each lesson, class will meet over a 3-hour period, with a half-hour break in the middle. The course also includes a practice AMC 8 test. This course covers entirely different problems than the Special AMC 8 Seminar (Version B).

I found WOOT extremely helpful during my first year of taking AMCs and AIME, and my qualification for USAJMO is largely due to WOOT. WOOT is great (and challenging) for students trying to cross the barrier between computational math and olympiad math. The instructors are experienced and able to help students at all levels. I will definitely be taking WOOT next year.
