from tournaments in the past.

Math Fights

https://mathfights.com

This is a great website for competitive, fun math at any time. All you need to do is make a free account and take part in timed mini-competitions and win points. You can also challenge your friends.

Questions tend to be easier than those in tournaments

AMC 10/12

http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/AMC_10_Problems_and_Solutions

http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/AMC_12_Problems_and_Solutions

AoPS gives a complete list of problems and solutions from 2000 to the present.

This is a yearly contest with 25 questions to solve in 75 minutes. AMC 10 is for 9th - 10th graders, and AMC 12 is generally for 11th - 12th graders.

USAMTS

http://www.usamts.org/

The USA Mathematical Talent Search is unlike most tournaments. Every month, problems are released to the public, and you will have 1 month to complete the problems. You need to give complete written justifications and mail your solutions to the USAMTS organization by the set deadline.

(a bit more relaxed on the time factor vs. most contests)

KSU Contest Page

This is the site for the upcoming tournament in February. A brief description of the rounds, schedule, and all the logistics are provided on the page

Past Competitions: http://www.math.gatech.edu/outreach/hsmc/past-competitions

Here you can access all the past tests from the tournaments, along with their solutions. This will be a great in preparing for the tournament this Spring.

Art of Problem Solving

http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/

This (ultimate) site has many resources for math competitions.

Specific ones are listed below.

Forums: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/index.php

The forums are a place to discuss math problems, competitions, and other topics. This is a great place to find a wide variety of problems. In particular, the high school basics and intermediate forums should be an appropriate level.

AoPSWiki: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/Main_Page

AoPSWiki is a wiki focused mostly on competition math, but you may find some other topics. This is a good place to look for problems from specific contests.

Bookstore: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Store/index.php

Art of Problem Solving publishes several textbooks as well as a pair of books on general contest math. It would probably be most useful to look at Art of Problem Solving Volumes 1 and 2 or the textbooks on Counting & Probability or Number Theory. The books are pretty pricey though, so you may want to look at other options.

School: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/School/index.php

Art of Problem Solving runs classes corresponding to each of the textbooks they publish. There are also contest preparation courses at multiple levels. The classes are also pretty expensive and for the subject courses, you need to buy the textbook. There are also classes in programming and chemistry if you are interested.

Alcumus: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/liz/Alcumus/index.php

Alcumus is an adaptive system for learning Prealgebra, Algebra, Number Theory, Counting & Probability, and Geometry. The system adapts to give you problems that are of the correct level.

For the Win: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Edutainment/ftwcs3/index.php

For the Win is an online math system for setting up mini-contests similar to Mathcounts countdown round. Each contest lasts about 10 minutes and focuses on solving problems quickly. For the Win helps with solving problems quickly, but will likely not help you solve more difficult problems. The people online are usually very good, so I would recommend setting up a private game with friends or you will probably lose.

Videos: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Videos/index.php

Here are a large number of videos on a variety of topics.
