<p>I got a 95. Does anyone know if that will qualify for AIME?</p>
<p>Anyway. Is there like a percentile chart for the test; I wanna put it on my college resume. And also for like the PSAT/NMQST those who scored fairly well but didn't hit the National Merit Semi-finalist cutoff still got "Commended Scholar" awards. Is there something like that for the AMC?</p>
<p>probably not. sorry. i think its the top 1 percent or over 100. and i think a lot more than 1 percent always score over 100 anyways. it really doesnt matter, the AIME is a b!tch. good luck. are you a senior? if not, maybe next year! i increased 12 points over a course of one year without studying so, maybe you'll score 107 next year, if thats possible.</p>
<p>it's top 5% or score of 100 to qualify for AIME. Last year a score of 100 was actually top 8%.</p>
<p>The AIME cut-off for the AMC-12 on the A date has already be announced. It's 100. The cut-off has not yet been announced for the B date, but it's very unlikely to be any lower than that.</p>
<p>Your school will recieve a 2005 Summary of Results book in late summer or early fall that would allow you to figure out the percentile for your score of 95. Frankly, I wouldn't bother. Schools that know what AMC is and care about it will know how to interpret your score of 95.</p>
<p>There is something like "commended scholar" for AMC, but only for younger students who score 90 or above (ie - people in grades 10 or below who take the AMC12, or people in middle school who take the AMC10)</p>
<p>texas, i dont know where you get your numbers, but heres something straight from the AIME website:
"The AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) is an intermediate examination between the AMC 10 or AMC 12 and the USAMO. All students who took the AMC 12 and achieved a score of 100 or more out of a possible 150 are invited to take the AIME. All students who took the AMC 10 and were in the top 1% also qualify for the AIME. For 2005, the date for the AIME I is March 8, 2005 and the AIME II is March 22, 2005. "</p>
<p>its top 1%, not 5%.

<p>If you read the packet sent with the test, you will find that texas is correct in that the AMC 12 requires either top 5% or a score of 100 to qualify for the AIME. The cutoff for the 2005 AMC12B is in fact 100, however (my teacher received the email today and forwarded it to me).</p>
<p>do you recommend that I put my 95 on my college applicaitons? </p>
<p>I'm a junior, but won't it be too late to put my senior year score on it?</p>
<p>Kosuke - it's 1% for AMC10 (actually, with rounding it's closer to 2%). It's a score of 100 for AMC12 most years, but if fewer than 5% of AMC12 takers score 100+ (which has only happened once that I know of), the cutoff will go a little below 100 to ensure at least 5%. Most years the cut-off score of 100 actually defines a little more than the top 5% (last year it was 8%)</p>
<p>Pentasa - sure, put down the 95 if there's a place on the app for AMC scores (MIT and Caltech both ask). It's a "good" score, although not great. Were you the school winner? That would be worth putting down. If you get a fabulous score in mid-February next year, you could always send an email to the admissions offices of the schools where you are applying. If they haven't already acted on your app, they might look at it.</p>
<p>AMC 12 is 100 or top 5%, whichever's lower. (In 2001 the test was so hard that this was an 84)</p>
<p>AMC 10 is 120 or top 1%, whichever's lower. (I think I may have heard that this year's A-test was a little under 120, like a 116 or 118)</p>
<p>Also they give extra awards if you're in the top 1% on the AMC 12. (In addition to school winner).</p>
<p>As for putting it on your college applications, I don't think it could hurt. It shows that you were motivated to take a crazy, unrequired, totally voluntary (to drill that in), math test on stuff you don't really learn in school. And it is a respectable score. Not passing, but pretty close. Also say you're planning to take it in senior year. Of course I'm not sure how your school works, but ours doesn't actually give the AMC. We had to do it ourselves (and then have the testing coordinator proctor it).</p>
<p>This all coming from someone who got a 101 and 80-something on this year's AMC 12s. (Too careful on the A--"no way #17, 18, 19, 22 can be this easy, especially when 14 was so hard...." And too sick on the B.)</p>
