<p>Don't worry, I won't be posting any actual questions or answers so I don't think there's a need to close this thread (feel free to contact me if I'm wrong :) )</p>
<p>Im not sure how many people on here took it, but I figured I'd start a thread anyway. Overall, I thought it was pretty managable. About average (unlike the AMCs this year). If someone has the answers, please PM me (don't worry, I can give you the questions so you know Im not trying to cheat).</p>
<p>What did you think?</p>
<p>This one was substantially easier than last year’s (at least from a first impression). I have transcribed all of the problems in my blog and they will become visible after the testing period ends. </p>
<p>AMC 12 = WTH. In all three years that I took it I scored a 97.5, 102, and 97.5. My AIME scores were something like 7 and ~10 for the first two years. When I see those people who get 144s on the AMC 12 and then score a 2 on the AIME, I’m just like …“HOW THE EFF did you manage that?”. The AMC 12 is way, way harder than the AIME, especially the last ~8 questions. I just barely managed to qualify for all three years XD. </p>
<p>Oh well, hope it turned out well for everyone who took it already :).</p>
<p>I thought last years was a little bit easier than this years. more or less, they were about the same. </p>
<p>Im totally with you on the AMC12 being crazy. I can’t work well under time pressure, so i barely qualified as well.</p>
<p>stix, your private message box is full so I am unable to reply. Perhaps clean out some of the older exchanges? :)</p>
<p>I thought it was alright. Maybe got a 7, possibly 8. Feel free to pm me answers.</p>
<p>lol the weird thing is, in my opinion, it started off easy, then got really hard, then got easy again… the last few questions were a lot easier than i expected.</p>
<p>One quick question: when is the AIME testing period actually over? I set my post to become visible at 12:00 AM EST March 17, but I’m certain that most people have stopped taking the AIME before then. I want to start a discussion as soon as permissible.</p>
<p>You’re supposed to have finished the test by 12:00p.m. In Hawaii, that’ll be one hour and 6 minutes from now. If you can’t take at that time period, you have to sign an academic integrity form.</p>
<p>Just realized I thought number 1 said at least instead of exactly. My score just dropped another point…</p>
<p>NOTE TO SELF: 201 is factorable. 201 is factorable. 201 is factorable.</p>
<p>^ lol?</p>
<p>See it’s these silly mistakes that cost me at least 3 points. Damn.</p>
<p>^ Samesies. Had a 6 in the bag. Now looking at a 3. = /</p>
<p>99*9 is NOT 881.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>I should get a 4 or 5…</p>
<p>Not bad IMO :s</p>
<p>IMO? Where?</p>
<p>and the floor of -.5 is not -1 but 0. geeze… </p>
<p>stupid mistakes are punished… ruthlessly by AIME</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually that’s still backwards, but eh. XD</p>
<p>haha. you’re right…</p>
<p>What problem number was that?</p>
