Why mocks

Plenty of practice. Very few real tests.

Most families we talk to aren’t short on problems. They’re short on a realistic full-length test, and on a clear answer to what to work on next.

  • Chatbot answers you can’t check.

    You can paste a contest problem into an AI chat, but it is often confidently wrong, and a 6th grader can’t tell when. Every answer here is checked by solving the problem two ways, and every solution is reviewed by an instructor.

  • Practice that adds up fast.

    Classes and problem banks are good for learning topics, but the cost climbs quickly, and they rarely put your student through 25 questions in 40 minutes.

  • Old tests run out.

    Past AMC 8s are free, but many students have already seen them, and a test you half remember is not a real test. Realistic new full-length exams are hard to find. That is what we write.

  • A score with no reason behind it.

    Most practice tells you right or wrong. It doesn’t tell you whether the points went to counting, to the clock, or to the questions left blank, so it is hard to know what to fix.

The score report

Know where the points are.

Every mock comes with a report like this one the moment the timer ends. It shows the score, how it compares with the Honor Roll cutoffs, where the points went by topic, and where the clock got away. It also lists which questions to review first, and what to do before the next mock.

Passed the 20-minute mark on Q16. Spent 9 minutes on Q14 to 17; left Q24 blank.

Questions to review

  • Q12 Counting

    Use complementary counting: total minus the bad cases.

  • Q16 Counting

    List the cases in a small table first so nothing is counted twice.

  • Q19 Number theory

    Factor first. Most divisibility questions finish in two lines once you do.

  • Q24 Counting, left blank

    Skip early, come back with three minutes left. A guess costs nothing.

Before Mock 3

  1. 1Practice complementary counting and case tables. Three of the six missed questions were counting.
  2. 2Set a 90-second skip rule. Q14 to 17 took 9 minutes, and Q24 went blank.
  3. 3Fill in every blank before time runs out. A wrong answer loses nothing.

The series

Test, fix, test again.

Each mock closes the loop: your student finds out exactly what cost points, works on those areas, then comes back and sees whether the score moved.

  1. 01

    Take a mock.

    One 40-minute sitting at home, under real test conditions. Mock 1 is free with an email.

  2. 02

    See what cost points.

    The report shows which topics lost points, which minutes got away, and which questions to review first.

  3. 03

    Work on those areas.

    Read the solutions and faster methods for the missed questions, and practice the two or three topics the report flags.

  4. 04

    Take the next one.

    Mocks 2 and 3 show whether the work paid off. Space them about a week apart and finish about 10 days before test day.

Who it is for

Who it’s for.

  • Students in grade 8 and below taking the AMC 8 in late January.
  • First-timers who want to learn the clock before the real exam.
  • Students aiming for Honor Roll or Honor Roll of Distinction who want to find the last few points.

Instructors and team

A team that knows this math, and how students miss it.

Our team comes from TJHSST, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Cornell and UVA. The people who write and review these problems have studied applied math and mathematics, taught advanced math for years, and know exactly where a strong middle schooler loses points.

Every answer is checked by solving the problem two ways, every solution is reviewed by an instructor, and every explanation is written for a student to follow, not just for an adult to check.

Questions from parents.

Is the first mock really free?

Yes. Mock 1 and its full score report are free. You sign up with an email, and no card is needed. The report is yours to keep whether or not you ever buy another mock.

What happens after Mock 1? Will we be charged?

Nothing happens automatically. There is no subscription and no trial that turns into a charge. If your student wants more practice, Mocks 2 and 3 are a one-time $120 for both, or $75 for one.

How close is it to the real AMC 8?

The format matches the real test: 25 multiple-choice questions with five choices each, 40 minutes, no calculator. The questions start easy and get harder toward the end, the way the AMC 8 does, and they cover the same mix of topics: number theory, counting and probability, geometry, and algebra and logic.

Are these real AMC problems?

No. Every problem is original and written for these mocks. We do not reuse past AMC 8 problems, so a student who has already worked through old tests still sees problems they have never met, the same way they will on contest day.

Who writes and checks the problems?

Every problem is written for these mocks, and an EduAvenues instructor reviews each one before it goes live. Each answer is confirmed by solving the problem a second, independent way. Every problem comes with a full written solution and a faster method for test day.

What does the score report show?

The score out of 25 and the time used, a benchmark against the most recent Honor Roll and Honor Roll of Distinction cutoffs, results for each of the four topics, a question-by-question pacing strip, and every missed or skipped question with its solution. It ends with what to work on before the next mock.

Is the score a prediction of the real result?

No. It is a benchmark, not a prediction. The real cutoffs move from year to year (the Honor Roll line was 19 in 2025 and 21 in 2026), and contest day brings its own nerves. What the report does well is show which topics and which minutes cost points, which is the part your student can change.

Do we need to know contest math already?

No. Many students take Mock 1 before any contest prep, and that is a fine place to start. The solutions explain each problem step by step, so the first mock teaches as much as it tests.

Can a 5th or 6th grader take it?

Yes. The AMC 8 is open to students in grade 8 and below, and so are these mocks. Younger students should expect the last few questions to be hard. That is normal, and the report shows what to focus on first.

How should my student take it?

In one sitting, in a quiet room, on a computer or tablet, with pencil and scratch paper and no calculator. The timer runs for 40 minutes. The AMC 8 does not take points off for wrong answers, so it pays to answer every question before time runs out.

When can we take them?

Any time, all year. There are no set dates. If you are preparing for a specific contest, a good plan is to space the mocks about a week apart and take the last one roughly ten days before test day, so there is time to work on what the reports show.

What do you do with our email address?

We send the score report there, along with a few short notes about the mocks and what comes next. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and one click stops them.

Is this affiliated with the MAA?

No. AMC is a registered trademark of the Mathematical Association of America. These mock exams are independent and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the MAA. Students register for the real AMC 8 through their school or another MAA-approved host.

Who is EduAvenues?

EduAvenues is an education company that helps families prepare for selective-school admissions, standardized tests, and college applications. It was co-founded by Neil Kothari, a TJHSST alumnus and UVA McIntire graduate. Questions about the mocks go to hello@eduavenues.com, and a person reads every message.
