<p>^Haha yeah, I went a little overboard, the second half of my list is for USAMO prep.</p>

22

<p>how hard is it to score an 11 on the AIME? compared to 105 on the AMC 12</p>

23

<p>^I'd say 10 times harder.</p>

<p>Last year, only one person with a 105 received an AIME score of 11.</p>

<p>Take a look at this:

<p>Posting for DS (asleep now ) :)
121.5 8th grade (fingers crossed he did not screw up while marking his answer sheet) ;)</p>

25

<p>^Was that on the AMC 10 or 12?</p>

26

<p>10 ;).......</p>

27

<p>Most likely that person was having a bad amc day...</p>

28

<p>Are they really being honest when they say that pre-calc is enough for the AMC12? And the AIME? I know it isn't true for the USAMO because I don't believe most students are even taught all of the notation used in the sample solutions.</p>

29

<p>How does everyone get their scores so quickly</p>

30

<p>Pre-calc is enough for the AMC, AIME, and USAMO, no calculus is involved. As far as the notation is concerned, all of it is "pre-calculus" material, regardless of whether they teach it at schools or not.</p>

31

<p>My teacher didn't give me my answer sheet back. . . .</p>

32

<p>You're supposed to circle your answers on your test booklet and then check against the answeres online.</p>

33

<p>I don't know what this is.</p>

34

<p>Thanks for the book suggestions everyone. I think I'll just go with aops 1 and 2 along with some previous tests. I ordered aops yesterday with priority mail so I can start studying next week. I think two books are sufficient because I only have a month-ish to study.</p>

<p>Edit: Uh... Can I find past AIME's online? Sorry about all the questions, but I have no idea about what the hell I'm doing lol.</p>

<p>Yup, the answers were posted on the MAA website yesterday.</p>

37

<p>102 - 12th Grade - 12A - in 10th i missed the cutoff by 3 points (for AMC 10), last year was an epic fail and i got like a 50 on the AMC 12 ;p</p>

<p>First from my school to qualify for AIME! SWEEET!</p>

</ol>

39

<p>^lol that would really really suck....</p>

40

<p>I think I got around 70 ish, without any practice, going in cold on the AMC 10A. Not bad I'd say, but compared to others, that's another story, lol</p>
