ACCompete is Accord Institute's Computer Science Competition among AMSP students as a part of AMSP program. It is composed of four contests throughout the year. Students compete individually in the tests. The average of top four AMSP students in a school determines the score of the school.
Only AMSP students are allowed to take the test. This year, ACCompete became an online competition. Students have to login to the online competition website http://campus2.accordeducation.org/ with their assigned login id's and passwords in order to take the test. The contest will be available during the following times:
