The Caltech Harvey Mudd Math Competition is a team competition for high school students organized by the Caltech and Harvey Mudd math clubs. Contestants have to be 19 years old or younger and must not be enrolled full time at a university. A team can have no more than six people. The group round lasts for 75 minutes. The test has two equally weighted parts: a short answer part (called the team round) and a power question. Teams can work on the two parts simultaneously. The team round will have ten questions worth 9 points each with numerical or algebraic answers. The power question is where teams not only answer but also justify their answers to the power question. The individual round takes 60 minutes, where students have to answer fifteen questions worth 2 points each with numeric or algebraic answers. The competition was held on November 17 at Caltech last year (2019). For more information, visit:

An annual math and computer science competition, the Carnegie Mellon Informatics and Mathematics Competition (CMIMC) is held at Carnegie Mellon University by CMU students. It is typically held in January each year; last year (2019) it was held on January 26 and this year, it is being held on February 1, 2020. Contestants - only high school students - come in teams of 4-6 and there are five rounds in all: power round, team round, and three individual rounds. The power round, lasting 60 mins, has proof-based problems, all related to one topic although problems will have varying levels of difficulty. The team round typically has fifteen short-answer problems that are to be solved within 60 minutes. The individual rounds are also 60 min-long and have ten short-answer problems. Each competitor appears for all three individual rounds on the following subjects: algebra and number theory, combinatorics and computer science, and Geometry. Awards are given out to top 10 scorers in each individual round, the 5 top-scoring teams in the power round, and the 5 top-scoring teams overall. For more information, visit: -official.herokuapp.com/
An annual competition run by the Princeton University Math Club, the Princeton University Mathematics Competition (PUMaC) is a student-run competition; it has been put together since 2006 by Math Club volunteers. The competition is open to high-school students and sees participation from across the US in addition to several international teams coming to the Princeton University campus and sitting for various mathematics assessment tests. The competition is a member of the US Math Competition Association (USMCA); this means that the 20 teams in division A with the highest overall score win USMCA circuit points towards the USMCA National Championship. PUMaC 2019 was held on November 16, 2019. Each team has to pay an entry fee of 100 USD. For more information, visit:
Held at Stanford University, Stanford Math Tournament (SMT) is an annual student-run math competition for high school students. SMT is aimed at encouraging interest in math by giving students from around the world a chance to work on fun, challenging problems and to meet other like-minded students who are interested in math. Last year, it was held on March 2, 2019; dates for this year have not been shared yet. Teams can take part in groups of up to eight students. The contest has an individual and a team portion. The Team Round has a 50-minute exam comprising 15 short answer questions, whereas the Power Round refers to an 80-minute exam with emphasis on proof-writing. The test usually focuses on a single subject matter that is quite different from traditional competitive math problems. Under the Individual Portion, students can either take two individual subject tests on a particular subject or take one, albeit longer, General Test. The Subject Tests are 50-minute exams consisting of 10 short answer questions and one can pick from algebra, calculus, discrete and geometry. The Discrete test covers probability, number theory, and combinatorics. The General Test is a 110-minute exam consisting of 25 short answer questions. For more information, visit:
The United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) is a highly selective high school mathematics competition held every year in the United States. Since its debut in 1972, it has been the final round of the AMC series of contests. Top scoring AMC 12 participants (based on a combination of AMC 12 and AIME score) are invited to take the USAMO. In 2010, the United States of America Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO) was introduced to acknowledge the top scorers based on their AMC 10 scores. Both the USAMO and the USAJMO are six-question, two-day, 9-hour essay/proof examinations. U.S. citizens and students studying in the United States and Canada (with qualifying scores) are eligible to take the USAMO and USAJMO, both of which are usually held in April each year; USAMO is being held on April 14 and 15, 2020. Top scorers at the USAMO are invited to the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program to represent the United States at the International Mathematical Olympiad. For more information, visit:
