<p>see above. made a dumb mistake... :(</p>
<p>no it doesn't. Cutoff has almost always been 100. Sorry.</p>
<p>yeah I figured. Oh well.</p>
<p>I'm so sorry to hear that! That nearly happened to me; I took the AMC12B today and got 13 right and 1 wrong. 105.5 If I filled in a wrong blank, it'll be 99.5 I just hope I filled in everything correctly.</p>
<p>is a 131 overall score (with AIME) worth mentioning on an application??</p>
<p>Yes, that is a good score, definately mention it.</p>
<p>Last year I got 99.5 and it didn't count. It killed me. :(</p>
<p>Yeah, that's why if you're not as experienced (like me), it's not worth answering 12 instead of 11 that you're sure about.</p>
<p>Edit: About the 131 above, is that an index, like AMC + AIME?</p>
<p>i got a 109 12B, made a real dumb mistake, should have had 115 :(</p>
<p>what was the answer to the license plate/child one? I think I had 11 correct, and went for that one...</p>
<p>No, it usually doesn't, unless it's a very hard test.</p>
<p>And I don't think the director of the AMC wants us to discuss untill Thursday.</p>
<p>Oh ok. I guess we can discuss tomorrow then!</p>
<p>i believe the license plate/child one was 5. i dint get this one, but someone else did...i only answered 11...i'll discuss the answers tomorrow then</p>
<p>It's theoretically possible, but that would only happen in a ridiculously difficult year. The only time it's happened (and also the year that, I believe, brought on the 5% rule) was in 2001, when the cutoff was 84. Don't plan on a lowered cutoff, ever.</p>
<p>And yes, you should wait to discuss the test until at least tomorrow.</p>
<p>its possible, but I blieve this exam was not exceptionally difficult , so not likely to have a cut off lowered.</p>
<p>as for the 131, if thats the index score it means you only got 3 question right maximum on AIME? ... while making AIME is worth mentioning, I don't think it'll do much good to put down that score.</p>
<p>Yeah -- the 2001 AMC.</p>
<p>just mention "AIME qualifier"</p>
<p>Doesn't the pamphlet say 100+ or top 5% take AIME?
So, if a 98.5 happens to be in the top 5%, then i guess maybe?</p>
<p>It won't be. More and more people take the test each year. Unlikely that it would fall below 100 after several years of 100 as the cutoff.</p>
<p>i just answered 11 questions and got them right which brely made me qualofy...so unless ur sure, dont answer more than 11</p>
