OCTM (Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics) has a state-wide competition. Here is place to find more information.
The American Mathematics Association offers the AMC 10/12. This is a 25 question 75 minute exam. The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are the gateways to bigger AMA competitions including the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Exams), USAMO or USAJMO (USA Mathematical Olympiad or USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad).
A great way to prepare for the AMC 8, 10 or 12 is by using a program called Achievable. This link takes you to their program. This program also does a great job explaining how the AMC tests work. AMC scores are asked for by many top colleges. This program will help you achieve a better score.
These tests are not as easy to get into as home educators, but it is possible. The easiest thing to do in the state of Ohio is to try to take it at a college. Below are places that gave the test last year. It might be worth it to write them if you are interested. You can request to take it at a location of your choice but you must have a proctor not related to any student, have the test in a public location, and be approved by the American Mathematics Association.
