AMC & AIME Problems by Difficulty
We dynamically update our estimated difficulty ratings for every AMC 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME problem based upon real people’s attempts to solve them on our platform. Our system is similar to the Elo rating system used in competitive chess. The histogram below shows how our whole past contest problem archive spreads across the rating range.
Highlight a contest to see how its difficulty ratings distribute. Click on a rating band to browse problems at that difficulty. You can also browse problems by concept.
