What Is American Invitational Mathematics Examination?
AIME is an invitation-only mathematics examination used in MAA’s progression toward USAMO and USAJMO. Qualifiers enter through the applicable AMC or USAMTS pathway; AIME participation or a score does not guarantee olympiad advancement or another award.
Invited AIME qualifiers must register by February 1, 2027. This is a printed civil date with no cutoff clock or timezone. Scores and invitations are expected in mid-December 2026, without an exact opening day. Upstream AMC manager dates are not student AIME registration. The current policy requires eligible grade 12-or-below students at authorized US/Canadian schools, at least 13 on AIME day and no older than 19.5 on their qualifying AMC day; eligible international/exchange students and USAMTS nominees may participate.
