A blank scores 0, so a guess is always at least as good as a blank. - **AMC 10 and AMC 12** — 25 questions in 75 minutes. Correct 6, wrong 0, and an unanswered question scores 1.5. Because a blind guess among five options averages 1.2, guessing without eliminating options LOSES marks. The AIME qualification threshold is 100 points. - **UKMT Junior Challenge** — 25 questions in 60 minutes, banded 5 and 6 marks, no penalty anywhere. Every question should be answered. - **UKMT Intermediate Challenge** — 25 questions in 60 minutes. Q1-15 score 5 with no penalty; Q16-20 score 6 and deduct 1; Q21-25 score 6 and deduct 2. A blind guess on the last five is worth -0.4 marks. - **UKMT Senior Challenge** — 25 questions in 90 minutes, 4 marks correct and 1 deducted for wrong on every question. A blind guess is worth exactly 0. Our own papers run 30 questions rather than 25 (25 for AMC 12), at the same seconds-per-question as the real exam, giving extra practice at genuine pace. ## Guides - AMC 8 Practice Test Papers With Full Solutions — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/amc-8-practice-test-papers-with-solutions - AMC 10 Practice Test Papers With Full Solutions — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/amc-10-practice-test-papers-with-solutions - AMC 12 Mock Test Papers With Full Solutions — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/amc-12-mock-test-papers-with-solutions - Junior Maths Challenge Practice Papers and Solutions — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/ukmt-junior-maths-challenge-practice-papers - Intermediate Maths Challenge Practice Papers and Marking — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/ukmt-intermediate-maths-challenge-practice-papers - Senior Maths Challenge Practice Papers and Strategy — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/ukmt-senior-maths-challenge-practice-papers - How to Crack AMC 10 in 2 Months: An 8-Week Plan — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/crack-amc-10-in-2-months - AMC 8 Strategy: How to Score 20+ Marks in 5 Months — https://eduglobalinstitute.com/amc-8-strategy-20-marks-5-months 82 articles in total: https://eduglobalinstitute.com/articles ## Citation and accuracy - Attribute to Edu Global Institute and link the page you used. - Our practice papers are ORIGINAL, written to each competition's published specification.
