<p>Hello!
I took both the AMC12A and the AMC12B last year. Although my score from 12B was 1.5 points higher than my 12A score, I was on the Distinguished Honor Roll (top 1%) for 12A but not for 12B. I am not sure which score to report since the MIT application does not distinguish between A and B competitions. So if anyone has some advice on which score to use, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! :)</p>
<p>Either or, 1.5 points isn’t a significant difference. You can put the higher one and still mention that you got top 1% (or put your AIME score if you took it and wish to report it).</p>
<p>Thank you so much! I did put the higher score down (as well as my AIME score) and mentioned the top 1% in another place.</p>
<p>Big difference last year in difficulty between the A & B test. No false pride in pointing out that you got DHR on the more difficult version.</p>
<p>My son only took the A and reported score as xxx on 2014 AMC12A (93 AIME floor) Distinguished Honor Roll. This was not on the MIT app though, not sure if that much detail is allowed.</p>
<p>These are great competitions but the tests are not standardized very well at all (they do not reuse test questions). So a score from one test can only be compared to a score from another test by looking at the relative AIME floors or even better the percentile rank (but unless you are right on the border for DHR you will not know your percentile rank).</p>
<p>Your lower score IS better than your higher score. MIT will know this (or they darn well should).</p>
