Mock Contest Recommendations

Contributed

These are the mock contests I have written for. One of my problems must be on the contest for it to count; testsolving does not count.

Contests from Math Advance will not be listed here, since I see no point when they are already on the MAT website.

• e-dchen Mock MATHCOUNTS Nationals
• Quite Easily Done
• Autumn Mock AMC 10
• Deux Mathematics Olympiad

Taken

These are mock contests I have personally worked through and recommend. Again, no Math Advance contests included.

Lists are sorted, in roughly descending order, of how topical I think each contest is. Topicality is based on recency and accuracy to the original contest.

Lists are not sorted by quality.

AMCs

• AoPS AMC 10/12 Practice

  An AMC 10 and 12 by AoPS, with no overlap between the two tests.

• CMC Year 4

• DMC Year 4

• July 2021 Mock AMC 10/12

  This contest was written by P_Groudon. It is a rewrite of his old mocks in 2019. I did not “officially” take this contest, but I did work through many of the questions in the first few drafts of this test.

• AAMC 2021

  A set of mock AMC 10s (and AMC 8s) written solely by bissue. Spoiler: the AAMC 10A is quite easy (especially near the end), and I’ve heard the AAMC 10B is quite hard.

• Autumn Mock AMC 10

  The Autumn Mock AMC 10 was “constructed by committee,” rather than by a group of people with a particular taste. This is purely speculation, but my guess as to why it was so accurate is because the MAA construction process is similar in some ways.

• CMC Year 3

• Scrabbler’s AMC, Year 2

• January 2020 Mock AMC 10/12

  This contest was written by P_Groudon, SevenOptimus, and PCChess.

• Scrabbler’s AMC, Year 1

Other

• AoPS Open MATHCOUNTS Nationals Year 2

  I only testsolved the Target Round, but it was so good that I’m breaking my rule of only putting contests I fully completed on this list.

• SMC

  AIME and USA(J)MO mock, with no overlapping problems. There is no known solution to Problem 2 on the mock USAMO.

• Fake USA(J)MO

  USA(J)MO mock with overlapping problems.

• April Mock USAJMO
