[latent bough]

Not allowed to

[ruby egret]

alr its fine

[vestal yacht]

good luck tho

[ruby egret]

thx

[latent bough]

Gl

[ruby egret]

was it around same dificulty as last yr

[reef condor]

Difficulty is specifically mentioned

As something that should not be discussed

[tame burrow]

Why the cutoff so high?

[latent bough]

It’s avg isn’t it?

[reef condor]

It was just speculation

The avg is like 96 id say

Almost never been > 100

[latent bough]

Oh nvm 2023 is an outlier

[tame burrow]

Yeah

[latent bough]

Or no I think the years after Covid actually are lower than avg

[tame burrow]

I thought itd be like 90-95 based on 2022

[latent bough]

Cause before 2020 all seem to be like 100-115

[tame burrow]

But I noticed that the tests kind of got harder

[latent bough]

Maybe

[tame burrow]

no shot the cutoff is greater than 110, right?

[latent bough]

Probably not

[tame burrow]

Ok

Hope the DHR cutoff

is low

[latent bough]

Yeah good luck

[tame burrow]

Ok

Thanks

[radiant jasper]

I just took it

[tame burrow]

How was it?

[plain moon]

is it harder than 2023 or easier

[tame burrow]

i would guess that it's harder

[plain moon]

alr

[plain jacinth]

Why

Why was 2023 an outlier

[winged cradle]

leaked papers

this year there were none

[radiant jasper]

[somber urchin]

fine but in my country idk what is fine for you

[latent bough]

oh mb

discussing my ineptitude isnt related to the difficulty of the paper because im new to math

yeah

[abstract crater]

Isn’t it ending in 12 hours

[somber urchin]

im dominican republic jajjaa

check dm

[radiant jasper]

bro did @fathom sleet get banned

cuz she said she was 12 😭

[tame burrow]

[timber plank]

im taking 10b because 10a got cancelled at my school 🗿

[plain jacinth]

I had to reschedule at another school 1 week before A started because my school decided to just not do it and tell us last minute

I had to email schools around me

[deep willow]

[deep willow]

i think discord is 13+

i think i aime qualled today

whats the cutoff gonna be

[deep willow]

prob ~100

[radiant jasper]

Oh

[radiant jasper]

discord is indeed 13+

[acoustic nova]

why did 10a get cancelled lol

[ruby egret]

Omfg same bruh

I only answered 14 😭😭😭😭

[jade widget]

n i use 50 min to answer14 questions😭

[ruby egret]

I hope cutoffs are low like 2022 and 2021

Hopefully in the 90s 🤞🤞

[reef condor]

Ok sigmas

[soft vigil]

shut

no discus

congrats but dont celebrate too early

[plain steppe]

Why was this AMC so tough

And how are the qsns out ??

I have seen a leak on reddit where some of the qsns were just the same as the paper how are they doing that ?

[deep willow]

im not talking abt the test

[slender monolith]

guys I dont remember what the 4th to 14th question were can someone send it to me

[short umbra]

for what?

[slender monolith]

amc 10

a

[short umbra]

did you take it already?

[slender monolith]

ya i took it last night

i cant remember after the third one

[short umbra]

the qs were randomized on the test though

like the order

[slender monolith]

wait so we did different papers?

[plain moon]

?

[short umbra]

well i took it digitally

[slender monolith]

ya i took it digitally asw

[plain moon]

I think the order is fixed on paper version at least

Bro what if they randomize a q25 difficulty problem to q1 spot

[short umbra]

i remember the paper version's order was completely different than the digital one

[deep willow]

hey guys dont talk abt the test

[vale pecan]

any comments on amc 10a this year?

(I prolly bombed it)

[plain jacinth]

I answered 20 questions not sure about like 5 of them tho

It wasn’t too hard but harder than previous years

[vale pecan]

I answered 16 and I'm not sure for 1

(time ran out)

[vale pecan]

compared to 2023?

[plain jacinth]

Yeah

[vale pecan]

ok then im fine phew

at least im getting in aime

[plain jacinth]

what grade are u

[vale pecan]

9 you

[plain jacinth]

10

[vale pecan]

ah

[plain jacinth]

I’m like 99% sure I got atleast 15 right tho

5 of them I didnt have time to double check

[vale pecan]

I am not very sure i got them right (i didn't double check)

[ruby egret]

I answered 14 only lmao

But I think I got them all

Mab except for 1

[vale pecan]

But I should be ok cuz I knew how the solving works

[vale pecan]

spill your grade

[ruby egret]

9

[vale pecan]

anyways does anyone think 10b is harder than 10a

[ruby egret]

I hope 10b is easier

[vale pecan]

opinion? ⏫

[ruby egret]

Compared to past years, I always find the 10b a bit ewsier

[vale pecan]

I always got 6-8 points less on 10b than 10a (practice tests)

[ruby egret]

Oh it’s the opposite for me lmao

[plain jacinth]

Huh?

[ruby egret]

Have u aime qualed before?

[vale pecan]

this

[vale pecan]

no first time taking amc 10 actually

you?

[ruby egret]

Same

[vale pecan]

cool

[ruby egret]

Cutoff prediction?

[vale pecan]

I was thinking about 103.5

[plain jacinth]

First time also but I took like 20 practice tests

[vale pecan]

like the last few years

but after what @plain jacinth said

I'd say like

99

[ruby egret]

I rlly hope it’s in the 90/

[vale pecan]

I did all practice tests from 2010-2023

[ruby egret]

I acc gotta lock in for 10b

[plain jacinth]

But also 2023’s cuttoff is an outlier

[vale pecan]

o right 2022 and 2021

but yk

they need to have a certain percent

[ruby egret]

I found this harder than 2021 and 2022

[vale pecan]

Anyways my parents are kinda mad at me 😭

[vale pecan]

real tests are always harder than practice ones

stress, anxiety etc

[ruby egret]

Real

[vale pecan]

I've been listening to my friends advice

and i didn't study the day of the test

(I don't think that works)

[vale pecan]

only the day of the test

[plain jacinth]

The test was also weird

And when do the last people take the test

For amc 10 a

[vale pecan]

wdym

ooh

time periods?

[plain jacinth]

Yes

[vale pecan]

idk but anyways

[plain jacinth]

And when are aime cutoff and scores coming out

[vale pecan]

my mom went on an asian website like 30 min before i took the test and she told me there were a few leaks

[vale pecan]

I'm frightened for them

[plain jacinth]

there on reddit too

That is crazy that there are still leaks

[ruby egret]

How do these exams even get leaked

[plain jacinth]

Idk

test maker connections?

[vale pecan]

Uhm I think different time of test

time zones

Probably can't coordinate it thatttt well

[weak bane]

are we allowed to speculate cutoff

[radiant jasper]

prob not until tmw

[vale pecan]

thats what they say

[swift imp]

DMs exists

Tho

[verbal jetty]

was today amc 10a for you guys

[radiant jasper]

I had it today

[radiant jasper]

Rlly? Like the full pdf file?

[vale pecan]

idk

me didnt see

[vale pecan]

yes

[radiant jasper]

Thats crazy why would they leak it

It makes them hard to compete

[vale pecan]

it gets them an advantage though

small area leakages aren't that noticeable

unlike 2023

[radiant jasper]

I meant the leakers dont

[vale pecan]

bribery?

[radiant jasper]

Ah

Thats stupid tbh

But i guess it happens

[vale pecan]

human nautre

nature

[charred mountain]

[latent bough]

Ok

Score

[versed widget]

[versed widget]

Idk when we can discuss

Im getting anxious

[latent bough]

Pretty soon right?

I think 8:00

[versed widget]

argh

Hey i dont think we should discuss at 8AM EST too
TLUPS which conducts in india does the paper until 8PM IST which is 9:30 AM EST

[latent bough]

Maa site says 8 ET day after

[versed widget]

Do not discuss

People in india are still writing

[abstract crater]

Oh so 1.5 more hours till we get solutions?

[versed widget]

Yes

[abstract crater]

didn’t they say solutions come out rn

[latent bough]

Students cannot discuss problems until after 8 a.m. ET the day after the competition period ends. The reproduction or dissemination of problems and/or solutions via phone, email, or digital media of any type is a violation of the competition rules. Students will be disqualified.

[versed widget]

No discuss please

But people are writing

[abstract crater]

okk

[latent bough]

Doesn’t that mean that we can’t discuss until tmmrw then?

Cause if the competition ends today in India then day after is tmmrw

[abstract crater]

Wasn’t aops putting solutions

at 8

est

[ornate blade]

yeah this is such bad wording, cause the day after depends on time zone

[latent bough]

Yeah

[ornate blade]

the day after for US students would be today

[abstract crater]

Lmao

[ornate blade]

also yeah the competition date was the 6th right

today is the 7th

[abstract crater]

ye

[latent bough]

I think it’s fine to discuss

[versed widget]

Plz dont discuss mate

[latent bough]

Wouldn’t the test be different I. India anyway

[abstract crater]

Nope

[abstract crater]

No it’s the same

the paper

[versed widget]

Test paper same i assume

but we wait to be safe

[abstract crater]

yes

1.5 hours more

[versed widget]

Not really

we can discuss in about 5 mins if you think about it

since q paper is 75 mins

so all indians need to start by 6:45

[latent bough]

Oh I thought it already started

Mb

[abstract crater]

Fair

that’s the latest they can

[versed widget]

yes

thats the latest

anything after it gets sus

since the portal auto submits and closes after 75 minutes or 8PM IST, whichever is sooner

[latent bough]

Oh did any of u guys take digital?

[versed widget]

digital?

yeah

im in india and did the test remotely

[latent bough]

What was it like? I’m curious cuz I had the option but did the paper

[versed widget]

Wdym

did we not have the same paper

[abstract crater]

I think it should be the same paper

[versed widget]

i heard people in China got a diff paper

[latent bough]

Same questions but I did bubbling

[versed widget]

Like same questions yeah

but

small changes

[abstract crater]

oh

[versed widget]

like numbers and signs switched

[abstract crater]

I see

[ornate blade]

yeah cause of cheating I bet

it's so unfortunate

[versed widget]

@abstract crater i sent you a DM

[radiant jasper]

AMC is conducted world wide ?

[ornate blade]

yeah

[latent bough]

Yeah

[ornate blade]

my school uses the online version

[latent bough]

The name is misleading ngl

[ornate blade]

AMC is probably one of the most widely taken worldwide

followed by UKMT

[abstract crater]

true

[ornate blade]

at the introductory competition level

e.g not AIME not BMO

[radiant jasper]

can i also write it ?

[ornate blade]

are you in high school?

[radiant jasper]

i came out of high school

[ornate blade]

then no

[radiant jasper]

like 3 months

alright 😔

[abstract crater]

😞

[ornate blade]

you can take Simon Marais etc

it's like Putnam but not as well known

for uni students

[sick dove]

aime also takes place internationally

[ornate blade]

yeah US system is so open

[radiant jasper]

im not math major
i plan on taking it next year

[jade widget]

so we can discuss amc now?

[latent bough]

I think

???

[ornate blade]

yeah wellknown in India apparently, Simon Marais comp

[charred mountain]

someone else on Reddit:

Y'all really cheating and using leaks for the amc. You're robbing opportunities from those who have worked for months - likely years. You aren't going to make MOP cheating your way into it.

Just stop.

I got 29

[jade widget]

hooray!!!

[abstract crater]

15 was on probability

[charred mountain]

oh ye

the three term, a, 720, b

[jade widget]

geometric questions still cook me

[charred mountain]

was that question 18

[abstract crater]

Idk the question number for that

[charred mountain]

i got cooked on that questoin

[jade widget]

yooo, same question

[charred mountain]

oh question 21?

no i meant the answer was 21

[abstract crater]

What was the answer for the geometric sequence

[charred mountain]

ohh

[abstract crater]

Yes option E

It was on the earlier part

Not in the end

[charred mountain]

shi

[jade widget]

i guess the forth one mean expand or compress to origin and i got 3

[plain jacinth]

I put 3 for the transformation one

It was either 3 or 2

[abstract crater]

What was the question number for that

[jade widget]

idk

before 15 probably

[charred mountain]

oh yea guyss

[jade widget]

it is 3?

[plain jacinth]

Idk

[charred mountain]

do you remember for hte triangle questoin like a triangle with lengths, 1, root3, 2, and you had to find this area of this random ahh triagnle

[plain jacinth]

What did everyone else put

[prisma orchid]

i got 3

[plain jacinth]

I skipped that one

[charred mountain]

i think i did 3

[plain jacinth]

Ok bet

[charred mountain]

did anybody solve that quesotion: do you remember for hte triangle questoin like a triangle with lengths, 1, root3, 2, and you had to find this area of this random ahh triagnle

FUCK

[pallid ginkgo]

how was the questions

[abstract crater]

when is aops putting solutions

[ornate blade]

people said harder than previous years idk

[abstract crater]

yeah

[ornate blade]

probably not before 7:30 pm ET, so 11 hours

cause that's when they're discussing on AoPS

[abstract crater]

i don't even remember i leave how many questions blank

[charred mountain]

lolo

[jade widget]

now two of my answer are wrong for sure

[charred mountain]

i acually wanna know

my score so baddd

shi

does somebdy have solution key

[jade widget]

waiting for the sheet to come out, that way i can remember

[abstract crater]

Idts

solution key isn’t there yet?

[charred mountain]

nopeee

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKXSZyrIOeU

lol

WAit

FIANLLY

CMAE out

theres other problems

LES GO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0baoFvODwY

theres also for 12

[plain steppe]

When will the aops publish it

[abstract crater]

^

[abstract crater]

nice

[sleek slate]

What were the cutoffs for 10?

Or an estimate

Dhr n wtv

[radiant oyster]

oh my god

i made such a dumb mistake

for the n/3 and n+10 i took 100->110 as the second step instead of the first

and that offset my whole ansnwer 💀

[trim bramble]

😭

me when i thought the circle was tangent to the midpoint of the triangle on 14 and spent way to long trying to figure out what was wrong

[ruby egret]

I am officially cooked

No aime qual this time

Hopefully I will on the 10b

[trim bramble]

same bro

[plain jacinth]

I got first 15 right

Www

I think I wasted a lot of time on them tho

[plain steppe]

Where are u getting this from?

[trim bramble]

my friend got a 31.5 😭

worst than if you didn’t answer anything

[latent bough]

oh did they publish it yet?

oh nvm

[latent bough]

how does he know that?

[trim bramble]

teacher gave out scores

[plain jacinth]

The beauty of math

or atleast I got the first 15 answers as him

[latent bough]

dude i got cooked so hard

i got like none of them right bruh

i prolly got like a 30 or smth crazy

[soft vigil]

RAHHH

I solved 24 problems on amc10

[trim bramble]

gg

[plain jacinth]

I solved 20

[sleek ivy]

Relatable

[prisma dune]

I solved 14

[trim bramble]

i solved it after the test

not in test tho

i hate geo

[prisma dune]

I’m sped

I got 76.5

No aime 😭😭😭

[trim bramble]

i got 72 😝

time to lock in on B

[plain jacinth]

how do you know yalls score?

[trim bramble]

teacher gave it to me

[plain jacinth]

How old are u

[trim bramble]

i took 10a

[plain jacinth]

You got 10 b trust

[trim bramble]

fr

(i’m absolutely delusional$

[weak bane]

I'm estimating sub 100

[trim bramble]

generous line

[radiant oyster]

what if its even harder

💀

[radiant oyster]

already?????

[trim bramble]

yea

she was really fast

there were some chinese kids who didn’t understand how the scoring worked and then threw their scores bc they didn’t know not answering gives 1.5 points

[latent bough]

Rip

[trim bramble]

real

they doing the B tho

will probably cook

[latent bough]

I’m getting like sub 50 ngl

Low key depressing

[trim bramble]

si

rip

[latent bough]

I took a practice and got like a 90-100 and then bombed this one

I think I should’ve done more 1-15s

[trim bramble]

me when i almost messed up q5

or whatever that uh

3 numbers multiple to 60

[latent bough]

I wasted like 20 minutes on Q2 and didn’t even get it 💀💀

[latent bough]

I got that one wrong lmao

Hoping I can take B but not sure

Cause my hs doesn’t have it

[plain jacinth]

Q2 was weird

I spent more time on it then I shoul’ve

[trim bramble]

i didn’t like q2

i just left and went back

i didn’t realize 23 and 69 were factors for a while

also me when i brute forced q1

cause i once again couldn’t find factors

[somber urchin]

how do i check my grade

do they already make public the question

m teacher here i think he doesnt know to even check the grades😭

[trim bramble]

bro may be cooked

[latent bough]

i got q1 wrong cause i factored it wrong i think

and i got the largest n! one wrong because i thought 253 was prime lmao

[trim bramble]

bro

it was just 23

[trim bramble]

also why

just brute force e

2

😝

wait what were the factors

[latent bough]

idk im tweaking

it was like 2 * 2 * 2 * 253 i think

but 253 is actually 11 * 23

[trim bramble]

2024 is 2*3 * 11 * 23

[latent bough]

yeah

[trim bramble]

yes

[latent bough]

in hindsight i shouldve checked 2024 factors beforehand 🤦‍♂️

[trim bramble]

my document

fr

[trim bramble]

i forgot them during the test and had to check

[latent bough]

i checekd 253 by everything up to 7 bruh

i forgot about 11 😐

[trim bramble]

😐

i was like

i need a factor of 23

and i got one

[latent bough]

yeah

[trim bramble]

oh well

b is for me

[latent bough]

im grinding NT, combi, and geo now

for next year / maybe the 10b?

[trim bramble]

imagine

just got a new power clean or

pr

165lbs

[latent bough]

nice

[trim bramble]

my wrists hurt now

[latent bough]

did u warm them up

[trim bramble]

i’ll probably grind a little geometry before the 10b

[trim bramble]

yeah

they are just always right

you’d think cause i climb they wouldn’t but

🤷‍♂️

[vague temple]

What grade

[trim bramble]

v11

[vague temple]

Damn

[trim bramble]

i’m very good at speed climbing tho

[trim bramble]

only did 1 tho

[latent bough]

is v11 good?

[vague temple]

Bro I can’t even do V5

[latent bough]

😮

[vague temple]

For reference I’m able to do muscle-up

[latent bough]

how many

[vague temple]

But can’t do V5

[latent bough]

and clean too?

[vague temple]

Like 3 when I was training

Yes

[trim bramble]

i can do v11 boulder and 6.01 speed

[vague temple]

I could do 1 slow muscle-up

[latent bough]

i can do one crusty muscle-up cause i dont understand the technique

[trim bramble]

samesies

[latent bough]

i always end up like running into the bar and trying to rotate my elbows 180

[trim bramble]

okay now to youtube im tired

bye yall

[latent bough]

alr

[vague temple]

Use a false grip

It helps a lot, especially for the slow version

[latent bough]

oh maybe ill try that

[dawn bloom]

Hi

Where can i check the questions of the AMC?

Like we can already see it?

[latent bough]

maybe try a youtube channel like the beauty of math

[thorn rune]

@latent bough

[latent bough]

yeah?

[thorn rune]

How to solve this problem

Maybe i think have to find pattern

[tame burrow]

difference of squares

[latent bough]

looks like telescoping to me just from what i see too

cause all # besides 1998 and 1997 are repeated in the num and den

[trim bramble]

is the answer like 2 or smth

seems like it

(1998 + 1995) = (1997 + 1996) so all those terms will cancel out to 1
(1998 + 1996)/(1997) = 2????

[jade widget]

where can u find answer of amc 10a 15-25

[dim dust]

Does anyone kno how to do a proof

[jade widget]

nvm, i found it

Hooray!!

im safe

[tame burrow]

wdym

[jade widget]

oh the last one is 146

[jade widget]

like, probably aime qualified

[jade widget]

oh, ru asking feminism

[latent bough]

of hwat?

what?

[dim dust]

Idk

I’ll send it

Number 8

[tame burrow]

no I was asking u

[dim dust]

Anyone know how to

[jade widget]

Hooray!!!

[celest magnet]

can someone help me with my ixl math homework please

[latent bough]

not actually sure but i feel like if you prove the two triangles ARY and TRB as congruent then it follows that the exterior angles would also be congruent

correct me if im wrong?

oh nvm

i misread

i thought it was prove CAY is congruent to STB

but i think it technically follows a similar argument just reversed-ish

because we know exterior angles are equal, two sides, so by SAS congruence they are equal

and if we prove triiangle congruence it follows that their angles must be equal

[latent bough]

ill try? what is it on?

[latent bough]

have you learned how to plot slope-intercept yet?

[celest magnet]

yeah

im in 9th grade

[latent bough]

ok

where are you confused

it is asking you to plot points (probably two) from the two lines

[vague temple]

How was the 2024 12A test compared to previous years, 2023, 2022, etc.?

I’m avoiding trying to look at it as I plan to take it as a mock

I am only taking 12B (as it is the only one my school offers)

If someone could compare for me to gauge an estimation, I’d appreciate it

[strong kestrel]

there was more trig than i expected. definetly harder than previous years

[trim bramble]

they’re the same equation fyi

[plain moon]

bash it

[plain moon]

and there was less complex number+logarithm than i expected honestly

the concept is invovled a little, but still

bc in previous years, there were normally a complete logarithm question and a complex number questions before q20

[vague temple]

Ok

That’s good to know, I practiced complex numbers very surperficially

I have experience with logs but not in competition setting either

[plain moon]

wait but i think you should still prob practice them

bc sometimes if they didn't show up on A, they might show up on B

[vague temple]

I mean I’m not like unfamiliar with them, just far from proficient

I’ve done some complex analysis, just never bothered to do calculations by hand

So that’s the main thing

[plain moon]

i see

[vague temple]

Because complex analysis is more a focus on like integrals of complex functions, analytic properties, continuity

Like analysis is more calculus, not so much the algebra

It also doesn’t help that I did few exercises so I don’t really remember much

[plain moon]

yeah i think it's important actually do problems even if you are familiar with the concept, bc speed is so critical

[plain steppe]

I got 123 in 12A what are the chances of distinction ??

[warped wedge]

what do u guys think cutoff for 12a is this year

for aime qual

[swift imp]

Prob Around 90

Or high 80s

[swift imp]

Probably

[hearty tendon]

cook

[jade widget]

how abt 10

[jade widget]

Like…100?

[plain steppe]

One hundred twenty three

I am hoping for distinction What are the chances ?

No , it's 129

I just guessed one and it went to be right

Wowww

[hearty tendon]

damn nice

[plain steppe]

I am an international student and will try applying to colleges abroad so does this help ?

[hearty tendon]

yeah 129 is pretty solid

[plain steppe]

Will try to prepare for aime too

[torn gate]

Yes

Start with AoPS vol 2

When you feel you can solve first 9-10 problems on AIME solidly, start solve beginner olympiad problems

[fallen magnet]

wtf isnt it out of 150?

congrats

[jade widget]

Wooow!!!

People said this year is harder than last

I think u have high chance to get Honor Roll

[plain steppe]

Dhr still seems way out of hand ig !!

[jade widget]

but distintion is like for sure

[plain steppe]

Hope so

[jade widget]

brah, u r cooking

[plain steppe]

Last year in high school still

I wasn't aware non US students can give this too

[hearty tendon]

where are u from

[plain steppe]

India

[tired chasm]

math olympiad is nearing, send help🥲

[plain jacinth]

How to prepare for aime

[jade widget]

Same question 🙋

[tiny raven]

are the results already out? I gave the 10A but I don’t think the results are out yet.

[jade widget]

I think it is prediction, like u remember ur answer and check it with the answer online

[tiny raven]

ah.

[thorn rune]

(1998/1997)²

[ornate blade]

(2 * 3 * .... * 1998)/(1 * 2 * .... * 1997) * (3994 * 3993 * ... * 1998) / (3993 * 3992 * ... * 1997)
= 1998/1 * 3994/1997
= 1998 * 2 = 3996

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=(product+of+(1998^2+-+i^2)+from+i+%3D+0+to+1996)+%2F+(product+of+(1997^2+-+i^2)+from+i+%3D+0+to+1996)+

WA confirms

[trim bramble]

ah dang i forgot that the last term in the numerator only cancels once 😐

[tiny raven]

did you give the IOQM this year by any chance?

[plain steppe]

Yes it did not go well but still gave

[tiny raven]

nice nice. the reverse happened for me. I qualified for IOQM but am not too confident for AMC lol.

[plain steppe]

I got 40 still not qualified

[plain steppe]

Could u accept my friend request!?
Wanna ask something

[tiny raven]

sure.

[tiny raven]

just lmk when you send it.

[plain steppe]

Apparently I can't send it to u ; as u are not accepting any

[tiny raven]

uh gimme a sec lol.

[mellow portal]

I tried prepping for the amc 10 but didn’t do great (7 questions right). I already went through aops vol 1 and tried learning basic stuff from “mastering the amc 10/12” videos from sohil rathil but I’m still lost and I have no idea what I’m doing for most problems

I’m great at every other math except problem solving and I don’t feel like I’m learning anything from any resources or looking over solutions to practice problems or trying to solve problems, because if I don’t know how to start the problems I can’t solve them

Does anyone have any resources or suggestions

I really want to qualify for aime next year or the year after on amc 12 and I’m willing to work my butt off this year for it

But I can’t find a resource that works for me

[swift imp]

just keep prepping

math contests are year round prep

idk how long youve done it for tho

[mellow portal]

Ik but I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere with any resources

[swift imp]

how long have u done

stuff

like prepped

[mellow portal]

I was introduced to the problems since June last year

[swift imp]

but like how much have u seriously done

since that time

lemme rephrase the question to be like how much have you seriously prepped for the test

[mellow portal]

It was on/off over the summer

And late August I started going through and finished aops volume 1

[swift imp]

well the best thing to do is to do more math first step and to be consistent

and imo 3 months is not very much time for amc prep

[swift imp]

did u do the problems

[mellow portal]

Ye took like 12 practice tests

I scored 80 on one but that was my highest score

[swift imp]

eh

i dont think doing more tests helps

if you dont know how to solve the problems

[mellow portal]

Idk where to learn

[swift imp]

btw

[mellow portal]

I don’t feel like looking at solutions teaches me anything

[swift imp]

you just have to keep doing problems 😭

dont look at solutions btw

do the problem and spend a lot of time on them

also, try doing problems just above ur skill level

[trim bramble]

yk when like doing a sport, sometimes to learn a skill you just gotta do it. No matter how much video you watch, how much you envision it, and how much you think about it, it just comes down to actually doing it

[mellow portal]

Idek what my skill level is 😭

[trim bramble]

just find challenging stuff then

[swift imp]

yea

just find problems that look interesting to you

[mellow portal]

True but then idek where to start on those problems

[swift imp]

that you feel like you can do

and try them

[swift imp]

just try stuff

[trim bramble]

i am the same don't worry

[swift imp]

a lot of the times u just gotta try a bunch of stuff

[trim bramble]

i got introduced to everything wayyyy too late

[swift imp]

and theres gonna be times like

[trim bramble]

its a grind

[swift imp]

its obvious the way you are doing it doesnt work

and you try something new

[trim bramble]

(i also got a 72 on 10a from sillies :p)

[mellow portal]

Is there another book besides aops I can use to learn basic concepts?

(Besides doing more practice problems)

[trim bramble]

aops is really king ive found

i honestly needa go throw all the books

[swift imp]

dont really use books

i just use the aops community and search up problems

but if u want a good like handout i started out with this

uh

dms

[mellow portal]

Ok

Thx

So basically do a lot of practice problems and get all the aops books?

[trim bramble]

could i get it, i could use some more problems pre 10b

[mellow portal]

If I get really stuck on a problem should I look at the solution?

[trim bramble]

you could ask for help first

sometimes a push is better than a solution

[mellow portal]

Tysm

[swift imp]

u can ask in

mods discord server

check the info of the channel

[swift imp]

uh

its like

i started with stuff that gave me like aime stuff

so idk

[trim bramble]

.-.

[swift imp]

@trim bramble @mellow portal check dms

[trim bramble]

after this english essay im just gonna go to the backs of my aops books and grind stuff out

[swift imp]

i sent u what i starter with

[trim bramble]

idk why but that looks familiar

[swift imp]

its everaise
