AYLUS Puget Sound Hosts AMC 8 Prep Class (Oct. 2022 through Jan. 2023)

SUMMARY

On January 14, 2023, members of AYLUS Puget Sound finished the final session of the
2023 AMC 8 Prep course! Classes have run weekly throughout the past four months each
Saturday from 5:00 PM through 6:00 PM PST.

Our 2023 AMC 8 Prep course was taught by instructors Christina Liu and Jeffrey Zhao. The
instructors teamed up to compile past contests, write solutions, and create mock contests. In
the past few weeks, we have covered selected problems from the 2017 to 2022 AMC 8 exams each class and written a mock AMC 8 contest.
Approximately 20-30 students attended class each week.
