<p>Did anyone here take the American Math Competitions 10/12 this year? How did you fare?</p>
<p>I got a 126... Stupid mistakes killed me. My score decreased from last years'. Meh. Oh well, I have one more year to take the AMC 10.</p>
<p>Wait, the scores are out already? Are we supposed to get them from our schools, or online, or what?</p>
<p>I'm so new to this.</p>
<p>yeah, i was wondering that too. When should we expect our scores?</p>
<p>They've started sending out scores to schools; if you haven't received it yet it'll probably arrive within the next week. Also, if you circled your answers on your test booklet and still have that, you can compare that against official answers to get a sense of how you did.</p>
<p>I circled my answers on my test booklet, so I knew what my score was in advance. </p>
<p>Lets just say I don't qualify for the AIME =/.</p>
<p>heh, I took it.</p>
<p>I guessed on the last 15 problems or so...</p>
<p>I didn't even know I was taking it until the day of the test <.<</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>i got a 66 on the AMC 12</p>
<p>^ are they gonna lower the AIME cut-off this year?</p>
<p>AMC 10 A is 117.0</p>
<p>AMC 12 A is 97.5</p>
<p>You're allowed to keep your test booklet? the teahcers collected ours at the end. Hopefully getting scores soon...last year I was school high scorer on the AMC 12 with just a 78..... my school (except for my math genius brother) doesn't do well on this kinda stuff.</p>
<p>wait you mean the cut off this year is 97.5?!</p>
<p>thats great news. i did 15 omitted 10 with one unsure. the last one was a rly stupid choice. or else 14/11 would have got me in w/o qualms</p>
<p>bump.....</p>
<p>AMC B test cutoffs are as follows:</p>
<p>10B: 120
12B: 97.5</p>
<p>Oh man... AIME so soon... anyone else taking it?</p>
<p>We get our scores the same day we write the contest. The teachers make us write our answers on an answer sheet they give us, and then right after the contest is over, we just bubble in the answers on the official answer sheet. After, the teacher collects it and marks the answer sheets (with help of other students) and the marks are available at lunch(if fast) or at the end of the day.</p>
<p>But of course, the official scores come out much later.. I made the AIME by 1.5 point this year... AMC is getting harder year by year... I did worse than when I was in 9th grade. I'm a junior now.</p>
<p>taking aime here. hoping for a 10+.</p>
<p>So if I had left that one question blank instead of guessing, I might've made that cutoff...</p>
<p>Meh. I took the AMC mostly because, well, other people were taking it! :P</p>

<p>??? Illegal maybe???? Should your teacher be reported ???</p>
<p>hm, I don't think it's illegal. We write a lot of contests, and we do that for basically every contests and have been doing that for years. It's a fairly big school, we have over 60 or 70 people making the AIME every year, so we would've been caught already if it was against the rules. My teacher is one of the committee members of the contest that picks people for CMO(i go to a canadian school) and he would know if it was illegal.</p>
