Re: So, who took the AMC?

oh

getting over 100
that's easy

I thought AAA meant all correct
That's generally what the DDR metaphor means where I'm from

Re: So, who took the AMC?

no u.

Although I would venture a guess that I could at least get over 130, given my past record with this kind-of stuff (22/25 on Math Olympiad in middle school, got a 2 on one test because I was seriously unfocused, hehe, I multiplied 4 and 4 and got 12 on one problem, for example. Also got 19/25 in elementary school which was the highest in the school).

Take the test then corbo. The test is extremely hard if your not have not taken geometry and algebra since it is meant to be hard for those taking algebra 2.:

Re: So, who took the AMC?

Can't take it, I didn't know much about it in the beginning of the year and now it's too late, seeing as they, well, started the tests already.

I'll be taking it next year, though.

Learning is srs business,

Re: So, who took the AMC?

Carbo you can still take the 10B.

It's supposedly tests the exact same skills at the same difficulty as the 10A, so all of our advice still applies. Plus you are not yet too late.

Re: So, who took the AMC?

Everyone looked over the date I posted for the10b

So here it is again:

Re: So, who took the AMC?



It's hard
feel free to prove me wrong though

Also, I only took the AMC 12. I've never taken the 10, so I don't know how hard it is in comparison.

Re: So, who took the AMC?

WOW, you have a lot of programs in the system tray there chickendude!

I think I am going to go and take the 10b during my week off of school. Was this years 10A reasonable?

Well I can obviously imagine the 12 being much harder.

I've taken the questions from the 2002 10P which my teacher gave out to our class prior to the 10A and got all except two right out of 25. I did learn to not take older questions as seriously for this math stuff because they always seem to get harder and harder (last year in 8th grade, the practice Math Olympiads, AKA ones from 2001 and 2002, were extremely easy), but based off what I got I'm sure I could do fine.

Also, nice awards, I just have a trophy for 19/25 in elementary school and two pins =(

Re: So, who took the AMC?

About 60% of the questions from the AMC10 were also in the AMC12

Of course, problem #23 in the AMC10 was problem #13 in the AMC12, so the 12 is much harder.

Re: So, who took the AMC?

Hey, could someone post the answer key?
My school didn't receive them yet
thx

Re: So, who took the AMC?

I'm only a junior in high school but have already completed calculus, vector calc, differential equations, intro to number theory, and am currently taking linear algebra. However, I just can't do contest math. There's always some annoying little trick in each problem, and I can never find them fast enough.

I answered 15 on the AMC12...but I know I got at least one wrong. Therefore, I'm pretty sure I got a score of exactly 99. Oh well, I'll just have to do better next year.

Re: So, who took the AMC?

Aww, that would stink Klarkshroder
Hope for the best

I'm a Junior in Calculus. My school system only recently introduced an accelerated math program (I was in the first year it was implemented) so they wouldn't let me accelerate further. I have a tendency to go out and learn stuff on my own as well.

My school only started doing the AMCs last year. I pestered my teachers a lot last year so they got the AMC 12 only. I ended up taking the AMC12 last year as a sophomore (got a 118, but it was easier then). Got a 3 on the AIME (I messed up the first question rofl)
I'm hoping for something better this year

I also can't believe I took a picture of those awards. That was really ostentatious of me.
What was I thinking
and that system tray keeps growing too
