Who can sign up for this event?

This event is open to SDMC member students and non-member students; however, for EVERY student, your AMC exam site is your own school unless your school does not offer your AMC exam. SDMC is not an elective choice that can be used for your personal convenience. Always check with your school first, and only submit a signup to SDMC's exam(s) after confirming that your school will not offer your exam. This is firm policy that applies to SDMC members and non-members alike. If after signing up for an AMC exam with SDMC you discover that your school will offer the same exam after all, you are obliged to cancel your SDMC signup and take your exam at your school.

How to Sign Up

SDMC is instituting a new signup process this year based on a Google Form. The parent should follow the signup link below and follow the instructions in the form. A few overhead points:

• Do not submit signups via email.

• Signup is a task for the student's parent, not the student.

• The form can be used by both SDMC members and non-members.

• The same signup link is used for multiple event signups; select your event from the drop-down menu.

• Some entries expect specific formats, which are checked; if you encounter issues, check your formats or possible typos.

• On submitting your signup, the parent will receive an automated confirmation email containing your inputs as recorded.

• If you need to change your signup infomration, you can access and update your signup using the same signup link.

• If you need to cancel your signup, you can do so using the same signup link.

• For the AMC 10/12 A&B, the "Event-Specific Information" can be left blank.

Follow this link to the SDMC signup form.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ITEMS BROUGHT TO THE EXAM

It is often the case that time is lost to confusion over the handling of backpacks and other personal items brought into the exam room that then must be turned in and picked up at the end of the exam period. Worse, the pile of backpacks and other materials collected inevitably contains a live cell phone that produces disturbance during the exam. Please help us to avoid all this unnecessary confusion, delay, and distraction by leaving EVERYTHING at home or with parents except 2-3 sharpened #2 pencils, and perhaps traditional geometry tools (straightedge, compass, etc.). Everything that is needed by a student during the AMC 8 can fit in a basic pencil case. Please do not bring ANYTHING more into the exam room, even paper - we supply the paper. Anything more than a pencil case will be required to be left OUTSIDE the exam room, including personal electronics.

Schools please note: SDMC cannot financially nor logistically support the AMC exams as alternatives to school-based administrations. We are the provider of last resort in the San Diego region for students without other practical options. We encourage all schools to provide the AMCs for their own students; costs in space and time, preparation and staffing are minor. If such costs are an issue, support usually can be found within the pool of families whose students wish to participate; it is not uncommon for families to bear the cost directly and for most of the organization to be delegated to parent volunteers - note, however, that parents of students taking an AMC exam cannot proctor that exam. SDMC is happy to advise schools and parents on how to begin offering the AMCs.
