That's... an odd way to put it, at least to me.

I think they both assess knowledge, but AMC assess knowledge which is learnt, often from school, how well you know and understand the things you've been taught, while HAST is more about how you work with the information you're given, more like.. raw knowledge. But, I was looking at 2017 AMC papers as reference, so I could definitely be wrong.

id rather do amc than hast bruh

No thats not what I meant
first off - I meant the test would require u to use logic that the assessors would analyse
secondly - I was jokin man dont take it personally

 

[Rick Mendoza]

...I didn't take it personally, you're alright. And it makes more sense with your clarification, then.
