<p>I want to prepare to get to the USAMO this year.
Are there any text books aside from practice test that I should get?
I am in Calculus A at my school currently.</p>
<p>also.
How long should I spend studying for this each day?</p>
<p>Double-posting things in the same subforum is a bit irritating… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/793766-prepare-amc-12-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/793766-prepare-amc-12-a.html</a></p>
<p>what i would do is just read a metric ton of higher math and let it sink into your brain. that’ll make you better at math while having the side effect of being actually useful. preparing for a competition might help you win, but it’s pretty much a waste of time once the competition is over. and it kind of takes the fun out of it too.</p>
<p>speaking as someone who missed usamo by 1 question.</p>
