The new AMC Platform is capable of instantaneously generating student score reports upon submitting a digital competition or uploading a scanned competition. However, to ensure the no-discussion period is upheld, scores will be released 24 hours from the end of the competition timeframe. 

We look forward to you receiving your scores faster than ever before!

While our system offers Competition Managers the flexibility to administer the competition in either digital or paper form on Competition Day, it also contains checks and balances to ensure that a student cannot submit two competitions. If a student completes the competition digitally, their row will have a “(Complete)” in the Approved column:

This will also show up when a Competition Manager uploads a student’s Answer Sheet into the Competition Administration Portal. Once a student’s status displays “Complete” from one submitted competition, no other versions can be attached to that student’s profile.

Digital Administration: 

The digital competition will not appear in Student Portals until 8 a.m. ET on Competition Day, the official opening of the competition timeframe. It will become locked at 11:59 p.m. ET at the end of Competition Day (for the AMC 10/12) or Competition Week (for the AMC 8). 

As an extra security mechanism, the AMC Platform requires students to enter a Digital Competition Passcode distributed by the Competition Manager before they can access the competition.

It's imperative that you don't share this code in advance of Competition Day.

The MAA AMC has always required Competition Managers to be affiliated with a physical location, even in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the last two cycles, we temporarily allowed remote proctoring solely in response to school buildings closing due to COVID-19. With schools reopened, we are now returning to our original in-person format.

In-person proctoring allows CMs to easily monitor students and identify if participants are communicating with one another.

Reminder: As per MAA AMC policy, If you observe any student cheating, you must disqualify the participant and notify the AMC at amchq@maa.org for further action. Report any cheating accusations as well, providing all available evidence of the situation. We take all cheating accusations and disqualifications seriously.You can read our full cheating policy and consequences here.
