Candy and FrankSample · Diagnostic test · AMC Middle Primary (Years 3–4)
The sample test: 12 questions, about 40 minutes.
Same answer formats as the real paper: most questions give five answers to choose from, and the last ones ask for a whole number from 0 to 999. This is a 12-question diagnostic — four from each band of the 30-question paper — not a full mock. Warm-ups first, then harder ones — it is normal not to finish them all. Use pencil and paper; a calculator is allowed. After each answer, press I checked it twice only if you really did.
