── How it works
Three pieces. Eight weeks. One Sprint.
01
Diagnostic placement
12 problems across number theory, counting, geometry, and algebra. Tells you exactly which AMC 8 strands your kid already owns and which need work.
02
8 weekly packets
4 problems per week, printable on a single sheet. Difficulty climbs from warm-up in Week 1 to contest-stretch in Week 8. Parent answer key with recognition-first commentary teaches the why, not just the steps.
03
Readiness report
End-of-season summary by topic strand. Score readiness assessment. Know whether your kid is ready for the November test or where to spend a few more weeks.
── What makes it different
Why this Sprint, not another curriculum.
Recognition-first commentary
Most prep teaches the procedure: "use the LCM formula." We teach the cue: "when a problem asks for the smallest number divisible by both, that is the LCM trigger." Kids who recognize the pattern solve the next problem in 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes.
Printable, then offline
Each weekly packet prints on one sheet of paper. Your kid works through it with a pencil, scans the QR to enter answers, and you grade with the answer key on the back page. No screen time required for the actual problem-solving.
One purchase, whole family
Not a per-kid subscription. Buy once, use across all your kids in the household. If you have an older child for whom Week 6 is the right starting point, jump there.
Built around the AMC 8 distribution
Problems are calibrated to the AMC 8's own difficulty bands — warm-up #1–5, contest pace #6–15, stretch #16–25. Across the season your kid practices the entire range, not just the easy tier.
── Questions
FAQ.
Is this a subscription?
No. The Sprint Kit is a single $199 purchase for the full 8-week season. You keep access to your purchased packets afterward.
What grade is this for?
AMC 8 is open to students in grades 8 and below. Most participants are in grades 5–8. The diagnostic places your kid; if they crush Week 1, jump ahead. If Week 1 is hard, that's where you start.
How is this different from other contest prep options?
Most contest-prep programs are either expensive per-lesson tutoring or year-long curriculum subscriptions. The Sprint Kit is a focused 8-week season designed for parents who want a structured run at AMC 8 specifically, without committing to ongoing fees.
What if my kid doesn't finish a week?
No deadlines. The 8 weeks are a suggested cadence; your kid can take longer. Packets stay accessible.
Sprint Pro — what extra do I get?
Sprint Pro adds personalized weak-skill drill packets based on your kid's diagnostic result. If they bomb number theory, they get extra NT drills in Weeks 2–4; if geometry is weak, they get more GE.
