The AMC 8 is a 25 multiple-choice question, 40-minute competition designed for middle schoolers. [4] No problems require the use of a calculator, and their use has been banned since 2008. Since 2022, the competition has been held in January. The AMC 8 is a standalone competition; students cannot qualify for the AIME via their AMC 8 score alone.

Multiple choice questions lend themselves to the development of objective assessment items, but without author training, questions can be subjective in nature. Because this style of test does not require a teacher to interpret answers, test-takers are graded purely on their selections, creating a lower likelihood of teacher bias in the results. [8]

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 World Finals were postponed. [29] The finals took place in Moscow from October 1 to October 5, 2021, hosted by Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
