how will I report AMC and AIME 2006 scores?

ultimatemath · 11-20-2005, 12:19 AM

Hi,

I have recieved 100~105 on AMC and 7 on AIME this year. I am not exactly pround of these lowly scores and I think I can defintely get significantly higher scores this year. and I would like to report this to MIT if I indeed get higher scores.

But the problem is, Regular Decision is due in Jaunary and the competition is after the deadline. Is there a way for me to report the scores?

Err, you seem to answer your own question there. If the competition is after the deadline, then no, but you can tell them if you qualify to compete again (if it happens before the deadline).

you can always send them an email with the scores. If they haven't made a decision yet, the scores will be added to your app. And if they have made a decision, you haven't lost anything by sending the email.

Isn't the competition after regular selection though?

the first AMC12 date is Jan 31, with results avail mid Dec. I doubt if MIT will be finished with regular selection by then. AIME is March 7 with results end of March, which is probably too late for regular decision. But I've heard that they tweak the final decisions all the way until they're mailed, so it might still be worth investing the minute and a half it would take to send an email. (plus, there's always the possibility of ending up waitlisted) If nothing else, it would make you feel like you had done everything you could.

Thanks.

I guess I will just right a email if I indeed improve..

duh! (senior moment there)
the test date is Jan 31, with results a couple of weeks later in mid February.

Is there somehow you can take it early?

There is no way to take AMC tests early--that is all over the AMC publications and the AMC Web site.

7 on the AIME is not lowly ;-)

Clearly you didn't work to your potential on the AMC, probably just silly screwups. Good luck.

danielsjang · 11-20-2005, 09:56 PM

your AMC might be considered low, but AIME is definitely not!!!

I have a 102 ish on AMC12, and a 6 or something on the AIME, but I forgot the exact scores. Where would I go to check/have them reported to MIT?

tokenadult · 11-21-2005, 08:34 AM

If you trust me enough to PM me your name and school, I can check your name in last year's summary of AMC results book. AIME scorers of 6 and above are listed there. (This, by the way, is one of several reasons why an applicant dare not lie about AIME scores--colleges have a way to check.)

Good luck in your applications.

AMC 10 and 12 scores over 100 are also listed in the results book. Every school that registers for the exam gets a copy of the book, so people with scores over 100 AMC and 6 AIME can check with the teacher who administered last year and see if s/he has the book.
