Nooo~

[thin pumice]

kk

[proven tundra]

lwk how to study for amc10b tomorrow

i need help 🥀🥀💀

especially on my number theory

[slim bane]

number theory is not that hard ngl

i also have amc10b tomorrow

[frank valve]

prove goldbach's conjecture

[slim bane]

nevermind then

i meant number theory for amc 10

[ornate coyote]

yo unc are you in cali kennedty ms

that place had many scioly nerds

i used to go there

lowk mid

[stable pewter]

lowk gng you js need to practice

a lot

[oblique leaf]

I did CIMC wsp

[slim bane]

maybe i am, maybe i ain't who's asking

[marble orbit]

pascal

boi

what yall got on amc

[marble orbit]

oxford academy ah

[winter elm]

Also practice test taking strategies

Don’t fall apart midtest

[long garden]

lock in on amcs tmrw

[pallid tundra]

<@&268886789983436800> what looks like attempted cheating

[sleek ravine]

i thought your pfp was a snowman with a carrot nose i wasn't really looking directly at it 😂

i also heard q25 was wrong 💀

[ornate coyote]

Who even is bri

[near hill]

The AMC 10/12 B contests are taking place today, at different times in different locations. Please note that discussing the problems online is prohibited until about 24½ hours from this post. To keep things simple, please avoid any discussion of the contest within the embargo period, even "I think I did well" type posts that you don't think reveal any problem content. Thank you.

[stable pewter]

Yes

Especially for amcs

[barren solar]

yeah i heard what did they do about that

[sleek ivy]

what are some strats

[stable pewter]

tbh my strats arent that good tmrws my first amc 10

but ik that

you should obv do the questions you KNOW you can do

which are usually 1-15

those later questions

like

13-18

you wanna skim them a lil more

basically

dont get deep into a problem very early on

1. that wastes time

2. your brain aint really warmed up for it

other than that you js need to not get stressed mid-test

[ornate coyote]

The strat is to do every problem

You know correct and the ones you are muddy on ignore them

And keep enough time to reviewe

[stable pewter]

Ye

Try and average like 2 min/ques

[modern wren]

good luck

everyone

[sleek ivy]

how much 😭

[stable pewter]

You too

[long garden]

i think they voided it

gave everyone 6 points

my friend did it right by assuming how maa sillied the question 💀

idk how that even happened bc it shouldve been reviewed a lot

[bronze widget]

nvm

[sharp olive]

What do you guys think the cutoff will be fore HR and 10% of AMC12B

[bronze widget]

wait am I not allowed to say that

oops

[barren solar]

yeah cuz 1984

[near hill]

The embargo on online discussion still runs for another 13 hours and a bit.

[tiny eagle]

All I’m going to say is my mental health is ruined

[pallid tundra]

did you not read what tropo just said

[willow dragon]

Wait, we can't even talk about it yet.

[thin pumice]

ya

U did i or s?

[willow dragon]

Senior.

Except we did it today so it doesn't really count.

[wraith tartan]

everybody said [b01] was harder than [a01] but I felt [b01] was definetely easier

[thin pumice]

Ohh

[near hill]

Please respect the embargo.

[ornate coyote]

Lowk amcs should be replaced by usa(jjjj)mo

[tranquil dagger]

usa pmo

[stable pewter]

Same

My ego is shattered 😭

[thin pumice]

amcs r the only contests i do good in 😭😭😭

[stable pewter]

🥀

I wish I was good at ts

[unkempt quest]

me too bro me too

chat is it time to quit math comps and try for some nicher stem comps 😭

(i.e. rocketry)

[stable pewter]

maybe it is gng 🥀

[unkempt quest]

r phys olympiads harder?

i like lwk genuinely need a backup for in case math comps dont work out for me 😭

[stable pewter]

same bro

wtv ill js rely on like research or smth 🥀

[ripe crater]

yo was amc10b hard this year

[unkempt quest]

embargo

[stable pewter]

oh shoot

[ripe crater]

harder than a?

[unkempt quest]

ig like better safe than sorry

[stable pewter]

ok

um

[ripe crater]

dms

[unkempt quest]

bro my research for sci fair aint going great cuz i like have an entire project planned and i js found out i cant make the dates

for what

[ripe crater]

discuss the tets

[stable pewter]

ah

[unkempt quest]

bro ur not allowed to do that either 😭

[stable pewter]

dw i js said what i thought i got

[unkempt quest]

bro its time to rely on pure math.......

5 on AP calc BC vs DHR for AMC 10

[stable pewter]

atp

the 5 might be better 😭

[unkempt quest]

😭

[stable pewter]

no but ts is acc insane why is calc easier than comp math

[unkempt quest]

like its harder to cheat on ap

[unkempt quest]

bro exactly

[unkempt quest]

so its like more legit for college apps anyway

[stable pewter]

wait yall there might be hope

if the BMT isnt bad next year then i have a small future in comp math 🥹

[unkempt quest]

wait which grade r u in?

[kindred fossil]

Hello

[unkempt quest]

im too old for bmt now 😭

[kindred fossil]

Hello

[unkempt quest]

hello

[stable pewter]

wait

i forgot

[kindred fossil]

What we talking abt

[stable pewter]

can college students take it?

[stable pewter]

the hell that comp math is

[kindred fossil]

Take whata

[unkempt quest]

huh

wait berkely?

@stable pewter

like the contest last week rright?

[stable pewter]

yea berkeley math tournament

ye

[kindred fossil]

Where is Berkeley

[stable pewter]

9th grader 🥀

[unkempt quest]

wait nvm i was tweaking

[stable pewter]

asia

[unkempt quest]

i thoguht it was middle school

[stable pewter]

:sob

[unkempt quest]

lol same

[ripe crater]

5 is 10x much easier

[stable pewter]

damn what

[kindred fossil]

Ahhh wheree country

[stable pewter]

wait are you in calc ab or bc

[unkempt quest]

bro those middle school kids crazy good

[unkempt quest]

bc

[stable pewter]

damn what

im in ab 😭

[kindred fossil]

Bro country

[unkempt quest]

my entire thinkacademy olympiad class is younger than me

[unkempt quest]

bro atp js like self study bc

[stable pewter]

uh

[stable pewter]

i cant

[kindred fossil]

What uh

[stable pewter]

all i know is that calc bc is way harder at my school

[unkempt quest]

i was in ab in september and then i went down a reddit spiral and realized that bc is literally all ab and according to like 2022 statistics, if you get 80% or smth of ab stuff on bc exam correct, you get 5 on the bc

[stable pewter]

right @glacial quarry

[stable pewter]

yea i wish bc was js ab at my school

[kindred fossil]

Guys can you tell me whata you're talking abt

What's ab

[stable pewter]

were talking about the economic and political state of the world

[kindred fossil]

How is it talking about

[stable pewter]

you have to look deeper into the convo

look at the rhetorical choices the speaker uses

[kindred fossil]

Ok poverty

[reef condor]

Orz

[kindred fossil]

Heey

[glacial quarry]

Yes

AB at our school is basically ab and most of bc

Bc includes a lot of like multi and calc 3 and stuff

[unkempt quest]

yes indeed

[unkempt quest]

WHAT

multivariable??

[glacial quarry]

That’s what I’ve heard

[unkempt quest]

but like multi comes after calc bc

[glacial quarry]

Rn we’re doing second order differential equations

[unkempt quest]

there's nothign in calc bc on multi 😭

[glacial quarry]

In bc

[unkempt quest]

yeah like f''(x) right

or smth else help i lwk havent done calc in two weeks cuz of amc

[sage talon]

anybody do the amc 10b today

[glacial quarry]

Like y’’+2y’+y=0

[glacial quarry]

U can’t talk about it yet

[sage talon]

oh ye

🙁

[glacial quarry]

I haven’t taken it yet

[sage talon]

welp can i just say how i found it

[unkempt quest]

yeah yeah um so my teacher is like

lwk tooo pasionante abt math

he spent my entire class yesterday on real analysis 😭

and proving why e is transcendental

[stable pewter]

😭

[unkempt quest]

so like i havent done calc in like a good month or so

bro taught me how to write proof by induction before l'hopitals

[glacial quarry]

They’re taking away my phone now for the amc

[unkempt quest]

glgl

hope u do better than me🫠

[glacial quarry]

I got 94.5 on 10a so 🙏 I can just get it done there

Not trying for usajmo but aime is nice

[unkempt quest]

bro pray so hard for amc 10a cutoff

ur so close

[sage talon]

how u know ur score already

wait nvm its a

[sacred shell]

bc def easier

dumbass like me cleared bc in 10th grade and couldnt even come close to clearing amc once 💀😭

[soft vigil]

one of them is like 50% and other is like 1-2%

[long garden]

THINK ACADEMY 😭

[long garden]

oh

hi lmfao

[long garden]

and the 50% is with like ppl that are generally less experienced in math

[soft vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/hayır-olamaz-lego-gif-7647030352230915501

[long garden]

i think you have a chance at aime

a pretty good one

because i definitely thought the first questions were more difficult than usual

its js that the later ones were pretty easy on 10a comparatively to other years

[glacial quarry]

I finished the 10B

Can I talk about it?

[long garden]

no

not until tmrw

[glacial quarry]

Bcz the test ends at midnight est I think and everyone who is taking it is already in test

[long garden]

8 am est

idk

they js uh

wanna wait

[glacial quarry]

Oh wait nvm

[long garden]

technically its not even 7 pm yet in hawaii

so

id like wait

[zenith orchid]

whos taking it in hawii bro

[long garden]

dude idk

[zenith orchid]

yea but the packs always leaked

nobody cares atp

maa security has more holes than swiss cheese

[long garden]

wait who

his aops is solasky iirc

he was at mathcounts a few years ago iirc

[zenith orchid]

tuff

yall took amc?

[long garden]

who tf

[unkempt quest]

omg r u in thinkacademy?

cuz like lwk thinkacademy feels so disconnected

[long garden]

no i remember think academy olympiad

💔

[soft vigil]

ur too young for ts

[long garden]

i think i did like year 3 back in 6th or smth

or 2

[unkempt quest]

Broooo RHATS crazy

Like i knew my entire class was cracked and young but like

[long garden]

he gave me random merch

[unkempt quest]

Gr 6💀

[long garden]

backpack water bottle

[unkempt quest]

He’s so good

[long garden]

i think he gave me a notebook too

and told me to write better sols 💀

[unkempt quest]

Oh don’t they give everyone mercy

Merch

Not mercy

[long garden]

[unkempt quest]

There ain’t no mercy in this class bro

[long garden]

[unkempt quest]

Nah I got a backpack or two and a bunch of tote bags

From pre Olympiad

So what do u do now?

[long garden]

uhh

idk

im kinda a bum rn

spend most of my time being chronically online

[wanton wing]

amc 10b?

how did it

[acoustic jetty]

Reminder that you're not allowed to discuss the AMC until the embargo ends

[tight latch]

when does the embargo end

[acoustic jetty]

See here

you really should know this as this is a condition you agreed to when you sat the paper...

[long garden]

8 am EST

[tight latch]

chill i was trying to remember chinese remainder theorom while i sat there

[acoustic jetty]

cathode ray tube

[ornate coyote]

Amc takers are nerds

Take imo like not nerds

[ornate coyote]

Vro this problem is not hard

9/9=1

99/9=11

…

[shy mauve]

I see

[shy mauve]

does it have to be hard for me to ask something?

ty tho

I didn't see that before

[ornate blade]

they're just being arrogant

you're welcome to ask questions of any level here!

in future though, please don't ask AI

especially for competition maths, you can't regurgitate methods from previous questions

you really have to think and AI cannot think at all

[abstract crater]

when are we allowed to talk about amc 12b?

[prime badger]

i think you're allowed now?

wait nvm it's 8 a.m. est correct? then no?

[abstract crater]

Yeah

[prime badger]

yeah just wait 2ish more hours

[wraith tartan]

couldn't you just actually add them up lol

[ornate blade]

it's really annoying

what bean is suggesting is: you know for the mean you have to divide by the number of numbers, 9 anyways

so you can divide each number by 9, then add them up

compare the similar fact $\frac{a + b + c}{3} = \frac{a}{3} + \frac{b}{3} + \frac{c}{3}$

[gilded halo]

south

[wraith tartan]

oh

[dire marsh]

So.. what to do with this fact?

[near hill]

1+11+111+1111+.... is a really easy addition.

[sullen zenith]

hey guys wsup

[kindred pawn]

Sup

[sacred shell]

how was the 12b guys?!

[soft vigil]

MAA was on something when making this test

[near hill]

Conflating a contest with a "test" sounds like a recipe for disappointment.

[sullen zenith]

was it hard for y'all

i took the 10

[abstract crater]

it was good

better than 12a

what do u think will be aime hr dhr

[sullen zenith]

aime = 108

this is for the 10 btw

hr = 120

dhr=138

i got a full score i think, the test was extremely easy (idk why but it was)

and for #25, u didn't have to solve it. I used the ruler and predited its path and got B

[ornate coyote]

WE swept the test bro

[soft vigil]

WE

[sullen zenith]

wdym

good or bad?

[fair forge]

There's a math riddle from Youtube guy called Whistilly.
If you divide 20 by half and add 30, what do you get?
Think again before you answer. 😏

[sacred shell]

def def

how much you getting

[sullen zenith]

70?

or am i stupid

[near hill]

"Divide by half" is not good English, so the answer will depend on what you correct it to.

[sullen zenith]

Divide by half means divide by 1/2 which the samething as multiply by 2

[wanton merlin]

idgaf if it's half it's half

[near hill]

That would be "divide by one half" -- sure if you choose to fix up the bad phrasing by inserting "one" there, then you get 70.

[steel parcel]

i took it too. 10b mad ez

[steel parcel]

guys whats gonna be dhr for AMC10B

<138 right

114

[steel parcel]

dhr is like 126

all ik is that its >114

[stuck tartan]

Does 130.5 have a chance of 12b dhr or is it going to be some like 138+ value

[long garden]

didnt take 12b but surely

[stuck tartan]

hopefully cuz dhr has been like absolutely infalted 🥀

[unkempt quest]

chat um

its not looking too good for me rn 😭

tell me how i sillied q4 💀

[glacial quarry]

I sillied 3 😛

Got 5 wrong

And then I got every other question up to 18 (skipped 15) right

For 102

I think that’s aime

Idk

[ornate blade]

if you get your 100 then that's guaranteed yes

[barren solar]

it felt easier than past amc12s

i think i got like 90 so hopefully its enough to AIME qual but idk

[ornate blade]

assuming you did AMC12 and not AMC10

[glacial quarry]

No I did 10

[ornate blade]

cooked

[sacred shell]

yea same riding on hopes

[solid sluice]

Hr or dhr?

[unborn elbow]

Is competition math like beyond college level or smth?

[near hill]

Most competitions seem to target audiences at high-school ages, and have age/education limits for entering.

[unborn elbow]

Ah so this is my level of math

(AP calculus bc)

[pliant snow]

Ap program is kinda weird cuz it covers some from uni for hs

[wraith tartan]

guys what are the chances 100.5 on 10B makes aime

[iron pond]

Guys the amc 10b was so hard

[vestal pond]

what are the chances 99 makes AIME for 10B

I need this

[iron pond]

How much did u get correct

I answered 5 questions

[vestal pond]

14 correct, 1 wrong, 10 blank

do you think that will make AIME? People say it was harder than usual but I don't think so, I had 70.5 for 10A

[barren solar]

idk but for the past 2 years its been over 100

not too good

i havent seen the test though

[wraith tartan]

amc 10a was harder

[dusk tendon]

what are chances 88.t makes for 10b

88.t

88.5

[wraith tartan]

not that good

[bronze widget]

The test was pretty hard but not that hard

[iron pond]

People in my school said 10b was much harder

[wraith tartan]

same! but I thought 10b was substantially easier

[valid cosmos]

just a means of what you grasp easier

[thin pumice]

random question is there anyone else doing amc8 after amc10? Like in January?

[glad coral]

AP calculus is HELLLA HELLLA soft

i do arithmetic

[unkempt quest]

gotta love calc after that amc 10a

[glad coral]

it ts a good solution

the guy that posted the question is airing me

[unkempt quest]

bro which unit u on?

what is dominant

[glad coral]

gang I'm 14 years old

im not a

top tear mathmetican

[unkempt quest]

me too lmao

[glad coral]

to have perfect methematical notation

[glad coral]

i guess im not as good at math as u then

[unkempt quest]

nah but whats dominant?

[glad coral]

🤞🏾

[glad coral]

the

third degree variables

[unkempt quest]

nah bro i havent even gotten to that part in calc yet 😭

[glad coral]

like if we asume x is 2 for ex

or any number

id asume 2x³

would be like

yk

dominant

and even if it isnt

and the second degree variable is dominant

[unkempt quest]

does this mean this?

[glad coral]

dude

i mean

dominant as the normal

everyday use

😭

[unkempt quest]

huh 😭

[glad coral]

that variable dominates the fractions value

[unkempt quest]

bro ive never used the word dominant in math ever

[glad coral]

if it will be + or -

[unkempt quest]

ohhh

[glad coral]

since 2x³ rises so fast

[unkempt quest]

like if the fraction is positive or negative??

[glad coral]

compared tocthe other

variables

it means

like if 2x³ is 1000 the other stuff will be way less

and 1000- any number smaller than 1000

[unkempt quest]

ohhhh okok

[glad coral]

will get u a positive integer

[unkempt quest]

yeah it looks right to me

dont trust me too much tho 💀

[glad coral]

I think its right

i did the same thing

in an olimpiad exam

and i got full marks

on that question

[unkempt quest]

yeah i think it's right

[glad coral]

ill use chatgpt 😈

[unkempt quest]

chatgpt is getting better at math

(sometimes)

[glad coral]

also Photomath

[glad coral]

it makes alot of mistakes still

[unkempt quest]

is it actually good?

[glad coral]

4 by 4 system

and like

[unkempt quest]

it's good if u give it the answer to the question then it can give you the process

bro i havent gottenthere yet 😭

[glad coral]

it was
y € R
w = 4
x = -z/2
z=-2x
(smth like this)

[unkempt quest]

my teacher loves skipping untis and doing things out of order

[glad coral]

pretty sure a rule to calc integrals and lim

faster

and easier

[glad coral]

and chatgot

did get it right

but

it would find values for each variable

and not find the relation

between x z y

[unkempt quest]

why do you need to know lhopitals then?

[unkempt quest]

ohhh icic

[glad coral]

y € R isnt correct but i mean in correlation with x and z

doesn't matter

it would only find values

[unkempt quest]

using the euro symbol lmfao

[glad coral]

and if i asked for the relation between stuff

it would just give me a whole nother set of values

yea

they look similar enough

[unkempt quest]

fair

chatgpt is good at nt

at least somewhat

at the amc 10 lvl

[glad coral]

chatgpt is really really good

and really really bad

it can mess up 3-89

but find a²^b=b^a

[unkempt quest]

its bad at geo

esp 3d

[kindred pawn]

Same

[stable pewter]

it says like if you have some indeterminate limit lim x->h f(x)/g(x) (direct sub yields like 0/0 or some other indeterminate form)

the limit equals lim x->h f'(x)/g'(x)

[cold onyx]

W l'hôpitals rule

my goat

[sage talon]

is it just me but i did absolute crap in the amc 10b

my school for some reason did it in french 😭 and i got cooked

omd

[stable pewter]

Nope

I bombed it 😭

I mean I suck at comp math either way

🥀🥀

[ornate coyote]

i need to see the 10b

everyone says its hard

[sage talon]

bro i was like averaging ~95-100 on past tests and was trying to get achievement roll or AIME but the second i saw the test i lost all faith in my goals

[wraith tartan]

way easier than a

[sage talon]

the biggest reason why i did so bad is cus my school did a freaking french amc 10

[sage talon]

how? i didnt do the a was it hard

[wraith tartan]

extremely, first 5 and 10 were actually so hard, 4 couldve been around 15 on previous years and 19 on amc 10b was easier than literally 4 or 5 on 10a

[sage talon]

did u do both

[wraith tartan]

yeah

almost double the score on B

[sage talon]

hjkdhsajkdfhjkdsf

thought the B was suppose to be like the hardest exam ever

there's some super smart kid at my school( smart for me) and he thought the exam was hard

[wraith tartan]

theres a kid at my school that got 127.5 on A but only 109.5 on B

[stuck tartan]

Peoples opinions on these tests are so diverse some say that it’s the easiest test ever made and some say that it’s hard

[barren solar]

what about the 12b

it felt easier than usual according to me and my friends

[steel parcel]

gng what is dhr

[stuck tartan]

10 or 12

[stuck tartan]

From what I’ve gathered

[ornate coyote]

i swept so lowk trivial

[stuck tartan]

It’s easier if ur most advanced at comp math

And harder if ur not that advanced with comp math

Cuz like p25 was the 5th problem I solved on the test

Cuz I Alr knew tje config

All the questions were quite standard (except for maybe like 2 or 3)

so people who grind these kinda problems a lot will do quite well

It focused more on practice of these kinda problems rather than quick thinking

[ornate coyote]

it was just easier in general

also it was very easy to do with quick thinking either way

[stuck tartan]

The A was easier in difficulty

[ornate coyote]

? which problem was hard on the 12b

[stuck tartan]

Except for first 10

p17

(D1 combo hater)

[ornate coyote]

first 10 were megatriv

since they were the first 10

[stuck tartan]

they were Js standard

[ornate coyote]

i mean ig 17 was hard for a 17 but the whole test had no kickers

[stuck tartan]

Yeah the problem writers had like negative originality with the whole test

Atp most user made mocks have better quality

[barren solar]

damn

[ornate coyote]

although i really dont care atp

[barren solar]

first 10 were freer than usual

[ornate coyote]

since im happy that 11 on aime gives a 70/30 chance i make usamo

[stuck tartan]

Is dhr gonna be like 141 or smthg

[ornate coyote]

lowk 139.5

[stuck tartan]

AMCs are so cooked

[soft vigil]

lmao

real

[soft vigil]

i dont know if i got 144 but i think so

[ornate coyote]

the answer keys are out

[soft vigil]

cause another guy at my school put the same shit for everything else

[ornate coyote]

so you can check yourself

[soft vigil]

nah

too lazy

[sullen zenith]

I got 150 too!

on the 10B though

[steel parcel]

bro what

holy swears

*sweats

[slim bane]

HOW!

[slim bane]

HOW!

explain

[sullen zenith]

okso 1-23 were pretty light

25 i used ruler to solve

and 24, i was stuck, but realized answer choice E hadnt been used, so i guessed E and got it rihgt 🙂

[ornate coyote]

I did the first 15 in 15 minutes and the rest in 30

Then i reviewed

[prime badger]

i've never done competitive maths before but i'm curious how people prep for the amc ngl

[ornate coyote]

I js did like a mock a day

For a month

Rest mostly oly prep

[prime badger]

damn alr

[glacial quarry]

you havent learned that yet in math 🤔

[stable pewter]

who are you random person

[glacial quarry]

i do not know

[long garden]

how do yall have that many random mutuals

[long garden]

what if you dont have a ruler and youre a bum that couldnt solve it otherwise

[long garden]

24 was so bashy lmfao

easy but bashy

average states question

maybe my bash was js bad and there was a faster way

there were a lot of standard questions

[long garden]

i swear to god it was

im unorz though

i mean it was higher quality than a

a lot of the questions were standard and didnt require that much thought but js took a rlly long time to read

and there was a lot of annoying bash

actually thats prob also my dumb self not finding clean solutions

[long garden]

true true

wasnt last year's 139.5

[glacial quarry]

we know each other irl

[stable pewter]

yea its so weird

[stable pewter]

this guys lying

[long garden]

wait @ornate coyote are you going for mop this year?

[ornate coyote]

hell yeah unc

[long garden]

WHY AM I AN UNC

pray you make it though

so basically ur going for red

i mean green

[barren solar]

gl UNC

[ornate coyote]

im not unc

[sharp slate]

hm

[craggy isle]

I get stressed so bad under time pressure that I can't even read the question. And that's game over for me in exam hall.

[thin pumice]

borrow a ruler

[long garden]

oi

[high goblet]

well gl!

[pliant swallow]

rhanku

[dapper minnow]

dang holy

i got 121.5 cus im only in 8th grade

[sullen zenith]

Yo that's crazy good for 8th grade

Last year in 8th grade, it was my first time, and I hadn't studied, so I got like a 90 smthing

But this year, I studied everyday for 2+ hours reading AoPS books, doing mock tests, etc. so yeah

[wraith tartan]

sweat

[barren solar]

yall are cracked bto

[wraith tartan]

fr

[jagged violet]

bro I got a 50 first time taking the AMC LMAO last year as a freshman

this year I think i barely qualified I got like a 109.5 on the B

[jagged violet]

basically 0% lol

[radiant jasper]

What are the chances 87 makes it for 12B

And 81 (or 76.5, if you don't count the p25 void) for 12A

12B pmo bc there were so many easy problems i skipped

[frank valve]

which ones did you skip

[radiant jasper]

like maa definitely put p24 so far to the end to troll and make people mad when they see how easy it is

[frank valve]

I got 84 on 12B so I'm probably cooked

[radiant jasper]

the ones that made me most mad were windshield one and p24

THE WINDSHIELD ONE WAS SO EASY

[frank valve]

lmao yeah

[radiant jasper]

it's just normally I'm terrible at geometry so i just skipped it

[frank valve]

p24 on AMC 12A was completely free also

p7 on 12B is hilarious because someone who is just doing a math comp for the first time could see it that early in the test and never wanna do math again

[radiant jasper]

i tried it and blanked out

[frank valve]

I only looked at it at the end of the test when I had no time left

[radiant jasper]

do you remember that one on 12a about orthocenter

[frank valve]

yeah

so tedious

[radiant jasper]

and how it literally told you what an orthocenter is

guess what. i STILL found the circumcenter and ofc they had to put an answer option that corresponds to the circumcenter

pmo

[frank valve]

lmao

[radiant jasper]

and arguably the circumcenter is the harder one to find

[frank valve]

finding the centers is really annoying imo

I don't like problems like that at all

[radiant jasper]

i mean it was some school-level geometry

just a system of linear equations

which is why i'm still mad about that one

If I didn't blunder it I could pretty much have a guaranteed AIME qualification

[frank valve]

I've never qualified for AIME and this was my last chance and I probably flubbed it

[radiant jasper]

*80% AIME ig

did you think 12B was easier or harder than 12A

[frank valve]

easier fs

[radiant jasper]

quite a lot of ppl say harder tho

so idk

I thought easier

[frank valve]

that's good to hear at least cuz it improves my chances of qualifying

[radiant jasper]

it's like how I was the only one who thought 10B last yr was really hard while everyone else thought it was easier

[radiant jasper]

Sohil Rathi predicted 87 cutoff

he has a pretty good track record. last yr he predicted 88.5 dead on

[frank valve]

if I didn't sell on P6 I would have a 90

if only I just checked my work

[radiant jasper]

A or B

[frank valve]

B

[radiant jasper]

oh i skipped that one

on second look, it should've just been find the A and B that make it follow divisibility by 4 and 9 rules, right?

one of my friends also missed it bc she thought it went to the tenths place 💀

[soft vigil]

Do not worry bro

One year I got like 118.5 on amc10 and made jmo

[dapper minnow]

what is jmo

[dapper minnow]

bruh i justr started amc stuff mb

[frank valve]

junior math olympiad

[dapper minnow]

ooh

[long garden]

rbo ur trolling right

[long garden]

and you got a 121.5 😭

or was that someone else

[dapper minnow]

nah it was me i just dont know a lot about amc10 i mostly only studied the material for it

[long garden]

is this your 7th grade year

[soft vigil]

Don’t dox me again Elaine

[long garden]

NO THAT WAS A GUESS

AND I DIDNT EVEN DOX YOU 🙏

[hot moss]

I wished I just did the last few problems on the 10B instead of taking 25 minutes on P6 because I had a brain fart

😭

[orchid linden]

Lmbo this 8 yr old kid at my testing site finished the 10b

[soft vigil]

wdym finished the 10b

[long garden]

what was p6

[soft vigil]

the problem after p5

hope this helps

[long garden]

what a genius revelation

actually

its the problem before p7

[orchid linden]

He answered every question with like 10 min to spare

[radiant jasper]

what are your cutoff predictions

[soft vigil]

but how many did he actually get

[orchid linden]

idk

[orchid linden]

idk about 10

for 12 i heard like 83 87

for the A

[soft vigil]

yeah 83 fs

[sacred shell]

Anyone rmo today?

[wary sage]

with or without the +6 from 25

[cunning yew]

Yep

[sacred shell]

Yoo I got cooked 😭😭

And fried 😭

[merry spire]

i got finished in my countrys mo bruh i got 4💔✌️

seriously calculated 54+16=60

[radiant jasper]

Bro

[subtle sundial]

bro

pack it up

🥹

time to retire maths

[hushed forge]

A 4 is good…

[radiant jasper]

I need the cutoff on 12A to be 81 or lower and 12B to be 87 or lower

[surreal willow]

🥀 🥀 🥀

[sleek ivy]

hope lucks on my side then and i havent made any mistakes

[soft vigil]

83 isnt a possible score

[sleek ivy]

well smt close to that

i answered 13 so my score could go up to 96

but i guessed one

and im sure ive made other mistakes too

[radiant jasper]

82.5 is what both Sohil Rathi and theabeautyofmath on yt predicted for 12A. they both are historically pretty accurate

thebeautyofmath might've been on something for his 10B/12B predictions tho, so i'd go by sohil if you want an accurate prediction for the Bs

[jagged violet]

He predicted so high lmao

I feel like it’s gonna be mid-high 90 ish

[radiant jasper]

I think sohil went 94.5

or smth like that

[ornate coyote]

91.5 10b

[radiant jasper]

he went 87 for B which I HOPE IS RIGHT

[jagged violet]

Ngl I feel like it’s gonna be higher

[radiant jasper]

yeah i think too low

[jagged violet]

94.5 is kinda low

[radiant jasper]

my prediction would be somewhere in the middle

[jagged violet]

A bit higher prob

[radiant jasper]

wait let me actually take a look at the 10b rq

[jagged violet]

The test was actually way better than the 10a for me imo

10a I failed LOL

[ornate coyote]

I dont even know anymore about aime qual

[radiant jasper]

I'd say 96 is my prediction for 10b

i'm not going to predict the 12s bc i'd bias it in my favor lol

[jagged violet]

What do y’all think distinction will be

[radiant jasper]

idk i don't pay attention to that stuff

[jagged violet]

I got a 109.5 I don’t think it’s gonna be distinction lol

Last year for 10a it was like 105

[radiant jasper]

how much did you guys study

[jagged violet]

With aime cutoff of like 94.5

[jagged violet]

I went from like 50something to consistent 100s on my practice test in like a year

Freshman to sophomore year btw

[radiant jasper]

no i'm asking how much did you study lol

[jagged violet]

A lot

Probably more than most aime qualifiers

[radiant jasper]

i decided in july that i hate math comps and stopped studying entirely

[jagged violet]

Im naturally not good at math so I kinda had to be a tryhard

[ornate coyote]

I think distinction is 138

[radiant jasper]

with me i would LOVE to qualify for AIME but HATE studying for it

[jagged violet]

That’s DHR lol

Distinction is like lower

[radiant jasper]

so i walked into the exam room without studying since july

[jagged violet]

Me too

I hate stuyding it too

[radiant jasper]

my goal was to tie last year's A AIME cutoff of 76.5

[jagged violet]

I lowk got lucky tho I guessed the last problem right

So I think im safe

[radiant jasper]

they put a crap ton of Cs on the 12B

i figured out that if i selected C for all the ones I left blank, I would've gotten 108 LMAO

[jagged violet]

Is it even worth studying for aime for a higher score

I think it’s too late for me now

JMO qualifiers made aime in like 7th grade

[radiant jasper]

someone from my school didn't make aime until 10th grade

[jagged violet]

Lmao that’s crazy

[radiant jasper]

then pulled off a 12 on AIME

[jagged violet]

Wtf

Wait I have hope now

But lowk AIME is like

In jan or smth

[radiant jasper]

feb

[jagged violet]

I don’t have that much time to prepare

[jagged violet]

Yeah

Considering it took a year just to get to AIME

I don’t think I’ll be doing well on AIME but I’ll try to get atleast a 6

My school’s mt is lowk ass tho so aime qual is pretty good

[radiant jasper]

I'm going to get a bagel on AIME

the thing is my level is high enough to solve a good number of AMC problems but none on AIME

and i don't study for math comp so it's going to stay that way

[jagged violet]

Ive lowk never touched aime

I’m kinda scared

[radiant jasper]

well actually

[jagged violet]

I’ve done a few problems from amctrivial problemsets

[radiant jasper]

i'm sure i could solve at least 1 by a pure bash

[jagged violet]

I’m scared i’ll get stumped on AIME P1 LMAO

[radiant jasper]

since all i have to do i spend 3 hrs trying all the numbers from 0 to 999 💀

[jagged violet]

Also I know nothing about logs and trig

So

Thankfulyl I have time to learn it

[jagged violet]

💀

[soft vigil]

r we really trusting sohil

same guy be posting ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUJmqKAux9I

ai songs

[radiant jasper]

he has a good history of predictions

tbh what i'm most happy about this yr is my correct:wrong ratio

20:1

last yr it was 4:1 💀

[stuck tartan]

Not sohil rathi 😭

[long garden]

whyd you guess 😭

did you eliminate most choices or smth

[stuck tartan]

Guessing is peak

Especially educated guessing

[long garden]

possible

[ornate coyote]

Some kid i know got 136.5 since he guessed uneducated on 2 problems

[long garden]

first 20 were pretty bashy compared to normal

last 5 were trivial

[long garden]

no thats impossible

you have 3 hours

[jagged violet]

Good point

[long garden]

i remember watching his videos when i was younger LMFAO 🥀

he had like 700 subs back then

[long garden]

according to this kid in my school his friend got a 136.5 on amc last year and got a 0 on aime..💀

[jagged violet]

How hard would u say aime p1 is compared to amc questions

Like is it a q15ish

Or harder/easier

[long garden]

its literally not that bad

i promise

[jagged violet]

Ok lol I’ll see when I take my first aime in feb

[stuck tartan]

Why are we worrying about aime p1 😭

[jagged violet]

I have no sense of how hard aime is

💔

[sleek ivy]

it felt right

[jagged violet]

Lemme go look at a p1

[sleek ivy]

it came to me in a dream

[stuck tartan]

Bro was dreaming during the test

[long garden]

this reminds me of a blog post i saw on aops

[sleek ivy]

anything is possible when youre sleep deprived enough

[long garden]

where another person solved an oly problem in someone's dream

😭

if only i had dreams like this LMFAO

[stuck tartan]

🥀

[jagged violet]

Oh yeah ur right

Doesn’t look bad at all

[near hill]

It happens, but 19 times out of 20 it turns out the solution makes no sense at all when you wake up and try to write it down.

[ornate coyote]

Oly problems are hard

[turbid cobalt]

It's my first time doing Aime does any one know how the format goes

[ornate coyote]

you do the problems

[sullen zenith]

There aer 100 problems, and you have to do them in 50 minutes. Answers are imaginary numbers only. Every question u get right is 1 point, and every question u dont answer is -10 points, and every question u get wrong adds one year to your sentence in jail

Hope this helps!

[turbid cobalt]

...oh!

[sullen zenith]

Oh, I forgot to mention. If you score below 15 points, you sent to death row.

[orchid linden]

💀

[ivory ember]

[gilded halo]

Civil Service Pigeon

[sullen zenith]

u aint tricking no one blud

[pure agate]

chat what are some math competitions i can do that are coming up

[frank valve]

calcusolve

[turbid cobalt]

OH

Oh there's only 15 questions on Aime

Saying it wasn't multiple choice would suffice in scaring me

[pallid tundra]

it’s technically still multiple choice ☝️🤓

just each question has 1000 answer choices

[vernal axle]

||You can easily get half perimeter p as p-42=sqrt(25^2-7^2)=24 and an area of ABC which is pr=66*7. So, you know AC,AB and then using XI=XC=XB we have XI=175/8.||

[turbid cobalt]

...oh!

[vague jetty]

15 questions 3 hours

[pallid tundra]

the answer to each question is an integer from 000 to 999, inclusive

hence 1000 answer choices

[vague jetty]

makes your butt hurt a lot after

[surreal willow]

you got aime?

what score did you get?

[surreal willow]

The aime is 15 questions in 3 hours so around 12 mins a question

All answers are integers from 0-999 so yea there is 1000 answer choices a problem :))

Most importantly tho each question is worth 10 points and is added to your amc score to determine USAMO or USAJMO qualification

qualification for both is around 230 points each year and can vary

[vague jetty]

btw they doubled the aime weighting

so now each question is worth 20 pts

[surreal willow]

REallY???

thats fair

[vague jetty]

i think it's because ppl cheat a lot on amc

[surreal willow]

the amc questions are easy compared to aime

[surreal willow]

also that yea

aime is way harder to cheat on since ai be messing up lol

did you take the amc this year?

[vague jetty]

yeah

[surreal willow]

whatd u get?

[vague jetty]

10a and 12b

[surreal willow]

ohhh

[vague jetty]

10a i got 126 12b im hoping 130+

[surreal willow]

I took the 10 a and b

[vague jetty]

wbu

[surreal willow]

bro how u make 126 on 10 and expect 130+ on 12 ;-;

[surreal willow]

nah man I flunked

[vague jetty]

i was selling

[surreal willow]

oh lol

[vague jetty]

i got 132 last year on 10b so i was hoping id do better this year

[surreal willow]

ahh aight

oh damn

welp

bro i messed up on the b so badly man :((

i got an 88.5 which isn't gonna be aime lets be honest

[vague jetty]

well how was ur 10a

[surreal willow]

I was so unfocused on that one

[vague jetty]

oh damn
