AMC or AIMO — what's the difference?

The two maths competitions we prepare for. Tap each to see what it tests and where it leads.

Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC)

Australia's largest school maths competition, run by the Australian Maths Trust. A friendly but serious challenge that rewards clever thinking over rote drilling — sat once a year, right at school.

  • Format 30 questions in 75 min (60 min for Upper Primary)
  • Style Multiple-choice & integer answers, ramping up
  • Who Years 3–12 — no contest experience needed
  • Our courses Y5–6 Upper Primary & Y7–8 Junior
See the maths exam calendar → Read the full AMC exam guide →
Where it leads
1 AMC — the national entry competition every strong student sits
2 AIMO — the next step up — a written intermediate olympiad
3 AMOC — senior olympiad selection & training programs
4 IMO — the International Mathematical Olympiad

A strong AMC result is the first signal of real mathematical talent — and the doorway to the whole olympiad pathway.

Australian Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad (AIMO)

A real step up from the AMC: instead of multiple choice, your child solves a few hard problems and writes full solutions. This is olympiad maths — where one clever idea matters more than speed.

  • Format A written olympiad — full solutions, not multiple choice
  • Style Fewer, harder problems across all four strands
  • Who Strong Years 7–10+ stepping beyond the AMC
  • Our course AIMO Preparation — a 21-lesson spiral pathway
See the maths exam calendar → Read the full AIMO exam guide →
What it really tests
1 Written proofs — clear, complete solutions — the heart of olympiad maths
2 Four strands — number theory, algebra, geometry & combinatorics, in depth
3 Insight over speed — problems that reward a clever idea, not fast arithmetic
4 Selection — strong scores feed the senior olympiad squad

AIMO is where competition maths becomes real olympiad maths — a standout signal on any scholarship or selective-school application.

Why Ace for AMC

A question bank built from real AMC question types — so students learn topic by topic, not by luck.

We break every AMC paper down into its recurring question types, then drill each one until it's second nature. Targeted practice means faster progress in less time.

Real question bank

Every question modelled on real AMC question types across all topic areas — no invented filler.

Learn by topic

Number Theory, Algebra, Geometry, Counting — drilled type by type, the way the AMC actually tests.

Targeted practice

Diagnose the weak types first, then practise exactly those — not a random firehose of problems.

Efficient prep

30 focused minutes a day. Every minute spent on exactly what moves the score.

Learning Method

A Proven Cycle That Builds Confidence

Every lesson follows the same rhythm: master one concept, see one worked example, practise actively, get instant feedback, retry until solid.

  • Concept → Example → Practice → Feedback → Retry
  • Each loop takes 8-12 minutes — focused and complete
  • Repeat. Refine. Excel.
