Where does your score land?
Enter the number of questions answered correctly. You get the score, the award it earns against the most recent cutoffs, and how many more correct answers the next award would take.

Blank and wrong answers both count as zero points, so only the correct ones matter.
Enter a number to see your score and award.
Compared with the most recent cutoffs below: Honor Roll at 21, Honor Roll of Distinction at 24. Next year’s cutoffs will differ.

One point per correct answer.
The AMC 8 is simpler to score than the AMC 10 or 12. There is nothing to subtract and nothing to work out.
- The AMC 8 has 25 questions and every correct answer is worth 1 point, so your score is the number you got right.
- There is no penalty for a wrong answer and no credit for a blank one. A guess can only help.
- The maximum score is 25. The test is 40 minutes and no calculator is allowed.
- Awards are set by percentile each year: Honor Roll is the top 5% of scores and Honor Roll of Distinction is the top 1%.
- Because the cutoffs are percentiles of that year’s scores, they move from year to year with how hard the test was.
Cutoff history
Honor Roll cutoffs by year.
The most recent cutoffs were 21 correct for Honor Roll and 24 for Honor Roll of Distinction. Earlier years are below for comparison. Treat them as a guide and not a promise, because the cutoff for a given year is not known until the results are out.

|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 21 of 25 | 24 of 25 |
| 2025 | 19 of 25 | 23 of 25 |

Cutoffs are the lowest number correct that earned the award that year, as reported by the Mathematical Association of America and collected in the AoPS Wiki’s table of AMC historical results. The MAA does not publish them on its public pages, so we list only years we could confirm, and we add each new year as results come out.
Practice
A score is only useful if you know what moved it.
