<p>If I received a score in the mid-90's but did not quite qualify for AIME should I still list my score on my application to some top schools. Or would they think poorly of me for not qualifying (Although I honestly didn't even know what the test was untill the night before).</p>
<p>ok here is a weird question. what is the equivalent SAT Math Score for a qualifying AIME score on the AMC10?</p>
<p>doesn't really have an answer... the two tests have no similarities whatsoever, but usually it's an 800</p>
<p>There's no comparison between the two tests. While they both test math, it's not even close to the same kind of math.</p>
<p>OK, I have a really serious question. I'm positive that I have the mathamatical maturity to score a 150 on the AMC10 and that is my goal. However, I usually make some really stupid mistakes and that prevent me from reaching my goal. I need to find motivation from somewhere so that I don't make these mistakes. I just go into this crazy-machine mode when I have the right motivation. Anyone know where I should look for motivation?</p>
<p>"Stop Making Stupid Mistakes" </p>
<p>MNOA: Depending on what schools you are talking about. Generally, I think if you are applying to MIT and/or Caltech, you shouldn't send in a 90-ish score because there will be tons of students with a higher AMC score than you. (I even felt edgy about sending in my 118 from last year). If I were you, I wouldn't send that AMC score to any of my schools just because a score of less than 100 means you are below 5% of the highest-scoring math students. Would you really want to come across as "less than 5%" to those highly, highly selective universities?</p>
<p>what if our school doesnt participate in the AMC? is there somthing i can do to get them to participate? although its already too late for me im a senior, and i wouldnt even have known about this if not for cc.</p>
<p>when are we supposed to get our scores? I am pretty sure I know what it is...</p>

<p>Following the link already in this thread shows that the AMC director expects to email out A date scores on Friday 23 March 2007 if all goes according to plan.</p>
<p>Wonky-Faint, talk to a math teacher at your school about offering it next year. For this year, see if another nearby school will let you take it.</p>
<p>lol tokenadult, thanks for that article. It actually did help.</p>
<p>It was after reading that article (2 or 3 years ago), that I started drawing boxes on my scratch paper to get myself organized.</p>
<p>I missed qualifying for the AIME through AMC 10 in my freshman year by one question -- after doing the "box method," I've qualified every single year since that and had pretty decent AMC 12 scores!</p>
<p>The "box method" works. In fact, my senior year, I took it a step farther and used a separate sheet for every problem, except for the first few. I highly recommend doing it.</p>
<p>I got 3rd and 1st in my school on the AMC 12 my junior and senior(current) years yet my Math SAT was 660 and SATIc 690...annoying. I got a 700 on the verbal even though I hate english. <_<</p>
<p>OMG box method is disgusting.
I boxed liek 8 sheets and ended up not using four of them. Only when I stopped adhering to my plan did I actually start getting the harder stuff right.</p>
<p>haha i had the same exact thing, i got a 690 on my SATIs but qualified for the AIME. </p>
<p>what was the cut off this year?(score wise)</p>
<p>okay, i'm about to answer my own question.</p>
<p>the amc12 cut off was 97.5 :D.</p>
<p>yay for making a 99 o.o;;</p>
<p>I got a 95 :mad: :mad:</p>
<p>Oh well, maybe next year</p>
<p>97.5 isn't for the AMC 12B February test is it?</p>
