Register for the AMC 8
We’re an authorized AMC 8 test centre in China, under both ASDAN and the China Organizing Committee — so you can register and sit the contest directly with us. We complete the registration, host the exam and keep you ahead of every deadline. Here’s how it works.
Registering, step by step
The simplest route is to register with us — we take care of the administration.
Message us with the basics
Send your child’s grade, age and city. We’ll confirm eligibility and recommend the best test format and date.
We complete the registration
As an authorized test centre under both ASDAN and the China Organizing Committee, we register your child and assign a venue — on-campus or online.
Collect the admission ticket
About a week before the exam, we make sure you have the admission ticket and clear instructions for the day.
Sit the paper & get results
Take the 25-question, 40-minute paper in the January window. Scores follow in roughly four weeks, certificates in six to eight.
Who can register
Check these before you sign up.
The AMC 8 is for students in grade 8 and below. There is no minimum grade — strong younger students are welcome.
Students must be under 15.5 years old on the day of the contest.
Each student may take the AMC 8 once per year, in the official January window.
Students enrolled in a school in the United States or Canada may not sit the AMC 8 in mainland China.
Deadlines to watch
The AMC 8 runs once a year in January. The 2026 sitting has concluded; the 2027 dates are confirmed each autumn.

What registering with us includes
We complete the paperwork and secure a venue, so you don’t navigate the platforms yourself.
We track the deadlines and admission-ticket window for you and send timely reminders.
Past papers and a study path so your child walks in prepared. See our preparation page.
Questions about format, awards or results? We answer in English or Chinese, usually within a business day.
Registration questions
How do I register my child with you?
Message us with your child’s grade, age and city. We confirm eligibility, recommend a format and date, and complete the registration as an authorized test centre.
Is my child eligible?
If they are in grade 8 or below and under 15.5 years old on the day of the contest, yes — unless they are enrolled in a school in the United States or Canada, who must enter through their own region.
When does registration close?
Registration closes in mid-January, about ten days before the late-January exam. The exact 2027 dates are confirmed in the autumn; message us and we’ll let you know as soon as they’re set.
Can my child take it online?
Yes. There is both an on-campus (offline) sitting and a home-based (online) sitting; we’ll help you choose when you register.
What happens after the exam?
Scores are released in about four weeks, and digital certificates and award rolls follow in six to eight. We’ll point you to your results when they’re available.
