You can look at the statistics, including % that get each question correct, at AMC's statistics site. The first 5 questions are typically answered by 60-70% of students. Questions 21-25, about 20% on the AMC8, 2-10% on the 10 and 12.
18 of 25 is in the top 5%, only 0.2% get perfect scores. It is the opposite of school grade inflation.
Last year's 7th grade female average was 8.5. The year before, 7.8. And I suspect most schools are like ours - it's only 20'ish kids who take the test, and they tend to be the advanced math students. So a score of 8 is probably an average "top student" score for 7th grade.
