AHSME, AMC, AIME
Has anyone taken any of these exams? When I was in high school it was called AHSME, and if you made 100 on it (out of 150 max?) you got to take the AIME. I'm not sure how it is now, it looks like they have AMC 8, 10, and 12 exams (related to appropriate grade levels) and that replaced AHSME. I checked out some of the problems online and they appear to be the same kinds: www.unl.edu
If you are a math genius, then you would qualify for the USAMO which is a national competition for those who do well enough on the AIME. I never attempted any USAMO-level questions, but I worked out some AIME questions and they're the most challenging math problems I've ever worked on.
