<p>Hey, can someone explain the scoring system to me (I'm new to this)?</p>
<p>each question right = 6 points
each question blank = 1.5 points
each question wrong = 0 points
total of 100 point on the AMC12 (or top 5% if top 5% doesn't reach 100 points) to pass; total of 120 points on the AMC10 (or top 1%) to pass to the AIME</p>
<p>is it just me or is anyone else totally shocked that we can't use calculators this year?</p>
<p>I hardly use a calculator anyways...</p>
<p>I am nervous.. first time for me =/</p>
<p>any last minute tips?</p>

I am OFFICIALLY SCREWED.</p>

15. Geometric series a + ar + ar^2 + ... = 7 and the terms involving odd powers of r sum to 3. Find a + r.

<p>Hey, I remember that question!
I spent forever on it because I forgot to multiply by a or some such nonsense.
And kept getting impossible answers.
'Twas also the year I bombed the AIME. (read: score = score - 5; )</p>
<p>I hate snow days.</p>
<p>Are both posts 46/47 true? I know 47 is real this year, but are we using the (6,1.5,0) system again?</p>
<p>Yea, both are true.</p>
<p>Please Do Not Discuss About The Test Today. Many Cities Have Not Taken The Test Yet. Thanks.</p>
<p>Ya we have a snow day so we can't take it today I guess/</p>
<p>Wow...</p>
<p>So... the people that sent my test (ordered separately) sent the amc 12a rather than 10a.. =</p>
<p>IS IT JUST ME, or WAS THAT TOTALLY ABNORMALLY HRD??</p>
<p>edit: i failed it. totally. i'm so stupid. i guess ill start looking at community colleges</p>
<p>I thought today's test was very easy. I made some dumb mistakes, and didn't have time to do some problems, but overall it wasn't bad (I took the AMC 10)</p>
<p>I didnt go all out on this one (since Im doing 12B on the 27th and I got bio tomorrow), but I definitely qualified for AIME so it's looking good so far.</p>
<p>This test always reminds me that math really isn't my thing... But, it got me out of AP Euro!</p>
