Yo, English: What’s up with “among” and “amongst”?
FYI: Whenever you see Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch), Emma Watson, the Doctor, Thom Yorke, or any other British icon at the top of a post, it means that the answer to the question depends largely on whether you use British English or American English.
When it comes to the words listed above, it’s a matter of preference. Either spelling (with or without “-st”) is fine, unless your teacher or editor explicitly instructs you to choose one over the other.

Cheers.
