Every problem on the USAMTS is graded on a scale of 0 to 5, where a 0 is an answer that is highly flawed or incomplete and a 5 is a rigorous and well-written proof. As a result, possible scores over the three rounds range from 0 to 75. The solutions are graded every year by a volunteer group of

university students and other people with professional mathematical experience. In addition to their scores, students receive detailed feedback on how they could improve their solutions if they attempt a problem but do not solve it.
