This is the official discussion for the AMC 12B.
How is everyone with their preparation so far?
Should this one be the same level of difficulty as the 12A?
@yurysudz not sure if there’s any truth to this, but I’ve heard that there’s generally one harder test and one easier test per year. Since the 12A was difficult, I suspect that the 12B will be easier than normal.
The 12A was difficult? I took the 10A this year, and thought that the overall difficulty was easier than that of previous years. Especially so for the last 6 problems. But I scored lower this year due to poor time management. I’ve looked at the historical results, and it seems that the 10B cutoff is consistently higher than that of the 10A, despite similar test difficulties. Hope this isn’t true this year, since I didn’t qualify for the A.
The 12A was very average in terms of difficulty, but the problem placement was weird and messed up some people.
how was it?
Yeah guys how was it??
how hard is the test in comparison to 2015 or 2014?
@thetex pretty similar, i think. and the difficulty distribution throughout the questions is pretty typical, too (unlike the 12a, which completely messed me up since i got stuck on number 16 and didnt even bother reading the ones in the back)
someone please discuss answers with me i only answered 14 and semi-guessed on one
how hard is it compared to 2016 12A?
I’m going to cry. I think I got 14 right and I made the dumbest error on 2 of the ones I got wrong. UGHHHHH
Did it have a lot of geo??? The 10b wasnt too bad…, and in my opinion the 12a was fairly easy this year…How hard was the 12b tho?
Someone post the Google doc let’s check answers
um idk how to post google doc…u do that…if u actually took the test
Pm me- let’s compare answers
What do you guys think the cutoff is gonna be? I think slightly less than 100. Between 95-99. It was harder than the last two years IMO.
Hopefully 94.5 because that’s what I got so… :(((((
Wow that sucked. I only answered 12 of them. Last year I got a 74 on 10A and was school winner so hopefully I’ll once again clear my school’s low standard
