<p>Im taking this test erm sometime in the near future (anyone know dates?), and I was wondering how I could study for it. I took the AMC10 (barely made the cutoff line 1/2 a point to be exact ;)) and the AMC12 (dont know scores yet), but didnt actually realize that these tests meant anything beyond the other random crap they hand us in math club (people in it are brilliant, but the club itself is horribly run). So now that I know its important, Im looking for some study material. I dont plan on moving on; I just dont want to make an ass out of myself :p Ive already started reviewing previous questions at artofproblemsolving.com, but Im also looking for any specific information that you would recommend I memorize (formulas, etc). Thanks!</p>

<p>artofproblemsolving.com
that site is the best</p>
<p>AoPS has the solutions to every AIME, so a good strategy might be to work old AIME's then check the website to see if there was an easier way. </p>
<p>Always helpful:</p>
