<p>I take the AMC this Wednesday and I think I'll end up scoring in the 110-120 range. Would that make me one of the "stupid 800s"?</p>
<p>I'm not planning in majoring in math or anything, but I just thought it'd be fun to try it out. Anyway...what do you think? Where is the bar set GIVEN perfect scores on the SAT?</p>
<p>its wednesday by the way :)</p>
<p>110-120 is perfectly fine. it can't hurt you, but help. AMC12 is a tough test and I believe 100 or above will let you compete in the AIME.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>Forgive my ignorance, but I have absolutely no clue what the AMC12 is!!!!!</p>
<p>good, you don't need to know so don't worry about it. It will be one less thing to remember.</p>
<p>800 IIC is only 90th percentile while anything above 100 AMC12 supposedly puts you in the top 5% of participants...and it's a much harder test...115 is a very good score</p>
<p>The old SAT I is a reasoning test for people with a least a little math background and inclination. SAT II math is just an easy high school math test. AMC-12 is still pretty much straight math, but often with a twist. Beyond that, AIME and on up toward math olympiad and Putnam, a fundamentally different type of math ability is tested. Not everyone who can "do" math, even advanced math, is good at contest math.</p>
<p>i gotta 118.5 !!! highest in school yo. ok sorry (but i still did)</p>
<p>BTW that's not worth forwarding to colleges after u've applied right?</p>
<p>iits like this
any idiot can score well in SAT if they want (given the effort, if required)
SAT 1 math is 6th grade maths</p>
<p>so getting an 800 isnt coveted or anything...</p>
<p>Then why are 800s so rare?</p>
<p>SAT math 2 800 is very common
the SAT 1, its a little harder since the curve is difficult</p>
<p>On both SAT I and SAT II, getting a small number wrong by simple mistake or time pressure can ruin your score because they are too easy.</p>
<p>What is AMC12????? Tell me tell me.</p>
<p>Don't you know about Google?</p>
<p>American Mathematics Competition 12
- Out of 150 (i think)
- To OP: I think it would definately help...unless u apply for Math major at MIT or sth and expect that to be ur strength =D</p>
<p>Most ppl are waiting for decisions, yet CCers are still working for their chances!</p>
<p>does good score in AMC in senior year have any effect on the admission?
can you send it to the college? what about AIME? is march too late to send any addition?
is senior allowed to participate in AIME if qualified?</p>
<p>I think I got a 118.5 on the AMC 12B today. Where can I find the official answers, and would it be worth it to update top colleges?</p>
<p>yeh i think i got 118.5 too. I'm just ****ed that i read a problem wrong and thus spent like 10 minutes doing the wrong stuff and wondering why i didn't get an answer. isn't like 120+ the only worthy mention?</p>
<p>Ask whoever proctored the test for you for an answer sheet. They should have a bunch. I got a 132.5 (got the first 20, didn't ever bother guessing the last 6), how the hell do I get this score to colleges ASAP?</p>
<p>is 120~125 a worthy mention?</p>
