The two exams we prepare for
Most of our students sit their exams at our own center, with the teachers who prepared them.
Math Kangaroo
We are an official centerWe are a registered Math Kangaroo center, which means we handle registration, proctoring, and hosting ourselves. Families from around Cerritos can sit the exam here whether or not their child takes our classes.
- The level bands map onto our four class levels one for one, so preparation lines up exactly.
- The exam is held on a Thursday evening. Proctoring is staffed separately from Saturday classes.
- Families in the community can sit the exam at our center even if their child is not enrolled.
- Date
- Thursday, March 18, 2027
- Format
- Multiple-choice, level-banded by grade
- Who competes
- All levels (Grades 1–8)
AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competitions)
Competition-manager application in progressThe AMC 8 is what the Advanced level works toward all year. The exam runs as a window from January 21 to 27, and January 23 is already a class Saturday, so if our application to host is approved students sit it in the usual room with the teacher who prepared them.
- A 25-question, 40-minute exam fits inside a normal Saturday afternoon.
- Hosting it ourselves means every student we train has a seat, with no outside site to find.
- Intermediate students see AMC 8 problems early, as a ramp toward the Advanced level.
- Date
- Window: January 21–27, 2027
- Format
- 25 questions in 40 minutes
- Who competes
- Advanced (primary) · Intermediate (ramp-up)
