AMC 10/12/A/B 2013 Discussion Thread

[ElvenRanger]

@OrchidBloom that's what happened to me last year Except today I think I did a little worse-I answered 17. So far, they're correct as far as I can tell... but anyway. I felt really sluggish today when I was trying to answer the questions. Anyone else feel like that?
Then again I didn't prepare as much as I should have so let's see how the B test goes in 2 weeks!

@halcyon nope cheating would be rampant otherwise

Any thoughts on the difficulty of this year's AMC 10 compared to before? What do you guys expect the cutoff to be?

[ElvenRanger]

Maybe 117ish. It was definitely harder than last year's B. Maybe harder than last year's A, I don't remember exactly.

ehhh...My school didn't even offer a desk for us to write on!! Finished the test on my laps. dah.

@FlyingWombat - In my opinion, this year's AMC 10 was a bit harder :P the last 9~10 problems were impossible to solve in 3 minutes each

[thereddevils]

Can anyone tell me how they practice!
Do you guys use the ASOP Volume 1: The Basics?
Please help!

I wish the cut-off score for 2013 AMC 10A be 117. However, it sounds like 118.5 might be the accurate one.

I think the 10A was hard this year for sure. Just like last year, i didn't take the AMC 10A but people who I knew took it scored 20+ points higher on the B. Hopefully the B is easier than the A so I can finally make AIME lol

I got 109.5 on AMC 12. This is my fourth time taking AMC 12, and I always get between 100-110. No improvement over 3 years!

[equilibrium442]

Are the answers available anywhere?

[mayee107]

Yes, they are on the main website already.

Ugh. I got a 99 on the AMC 12, and everyone on AOPS thinks the cutoff is 100...I'm going to cry so much if that's true. What do you guys think the cutoff for the AMC 12 will be?

The repercussions of online impersonation can result in substantially harmful consequences to the person being personated. In one .... As a result, this misdemeanor offense is less serious, subjecting you to a maximum six months in jail and a maximum $1000.

This will be your only warning.

Got an 82.5 on the 12 as predicted. I'll try to break the hundred mark next time (though it's probably unlikely).
