USAJMO (USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad): Program Overview

Junior version of USAMO for 10th graders and below. Top ~230 AMC 10/AIME scorers invited.

The USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO), organized by the Mathematical Association of America, is a proof-based mathematics competition for high school students in 10th grade and below. It is an invitation-only exam for top performers on the AMC 10 and AIME, emphasizing deep problem-solving skills and rigorous mathematical reasoning rather than routine techniques. Problems cover areas such as algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry, requiring clear, logically structured written solutions.

This program is best suited for students who enjoy challenging math beyond the standard curriculum, regularly prepare for math contests, and are motivated to develop advanced problem-solving skills. Participation and qualification can be a strong academic distinction on college applications, especially for students interested in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or theoretical fields, as it demonstrates persistence, independent study, and the ability to tackle complex, abstract problems.

Students who qualify for USAJMO often gain:

  • Experience with proof-writing and mathematical communication
  • Preparation and foundation for higher-level contests such as USAMO
  • Connection to a nationwide community of competitive math students

More information about eligibility and structure is available on the official MAA competition page.
