The iTest is the common name for the American High School Internet Mathematics Competition (AHSIMC). The iTest was founded in 2004 and takes place each September, offering students from across the country to compete against the best and brightest high school students in a highly competitive environment. Any American high school student may compete in a team of up to five people. Students are not required to be students of the same school, or even residents of the same state. Because of the decentralized nature of the competition, an advisor is required for each team to monitor the team and vouch for compliance with the competition's rules.
