<p>Hey,
You can take the AIME if you get over 100 on the AMC 12 OR if you score in the top 5%. Most years the 95th percentile cutoff is higher than 100, so 100 is the number that matters. In 2001, though, you could get as low as 86 (I believe) and still be invited to take the AIME.</p>
<p>Anyway, anyone know what the number is this year? My score was VERY borderline (call me stupid for not easily breaking 100, fine) and I'm crossing my fingers and praying...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I don't know...wouldn't it take a while before they could calculate the percentiles? Seeing as how we just took the test today. I remember reading somewhere, though, that the year they took 86, the test was extremely difficult as compared to other years. This year's one was tough, but didn't seem nearly that bad.</p>
<p>I answered 11 questions, because that's all I could figure out really, hopefully I got them all right.</p>
<p>Don't wanna burst your bubble but, I'm pretty sure it's still gonna be 100 cause the general consensus was that this year's test was easier than last year's. But, hey, who really knows what's going to happen.</p>
<p>I answered 12 and I'm pretty worried, my score was right on the edge I think.</p>
<p>i got a 94.5, lol. ONLY one more! can you believe that i got #4 wrong? the one with the buying windows and saving money?</p>
<p>i feel ya asianboy. i got 98.5, i answered 12 and got one wrong. the money probability Q</p>
<p>The AIME qualifications from the "A" test dates are already calculated. One guy on my math team got into AIME through the AMC 12A this year. I received the official email notification of scores yesterday (Tuesday 15 February 2005). People waiting for mailed scores of the "A" tests should see them in a couple weeks, possibly sooner.</p>
<p>the AIME cut-offs for the first date are 100 for the AMC-12A, and 120 for the AMC-10A. Cut-offs for the tests today (B-date) will not be known for a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>Excellente!!</p>
<p>I got a 102.5 on the AMC 12A. I, sadly, could not take the AMC 12B (because they were held at another school and my school refused to let me go.)</p>
<p><em>happy</em> I'm taking the AIME!!!</p>
<p>Cutoffs for the B date are almost the highest value possible - the average scores for the B date are higher, probably because the worse schools don't register for it.</p>
<p>99.5 ***..</p>
<p>that is SOOO close..;;</p>
<p>i got 99 ******
can’t believe i got #3 wrong…
forgot to multiply by 2…</p>
<p>Nice necro. 5+ years.</p>
<p>i’m 99% sure you’ll still make it… the cutoff will likely be lowered this year</p>
<p>cutoff was 88.5… I got an 88.5… = D</p>
