<p>Have any of you received your scores back yet? One girl from my school found out by asking our math teacher, but I forgot to inquire.</p>
<p>
If you took the Adate test then possibly yes.
But it could take another couple of week for those took B tests.
But it doesn’t matter a lot, does it? You should have got your scores via the emails.</p>
<p>The scores for the B tests were already sent out via email?</p>
<p>
Yup. For most of them.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got my score as well.</p>
<p>So my teacher just told me that I’ll be taking the AIME tomorrow… So what exactly is AIME… lol and whats the ‘passing grade’ for AIME? and what happens if you pass it? is it common to see people pass it?</p>
<p>
…Aime is a 3h long test with 15 problems. The cutoffs for the both the A and B date tests are— 88.5(for 12), 118.5(for 10).
If you pass it , you get to go to AIME. And get several certificates. You can also a pin if you are the school winner and a plaque if you are the state winner.
Usually, abt top 6-9% taking the 12 tests get qualified for the AIME and top 1-3% for those taking the 10 tests.
Hoping that make sense</p>
<p>Oh danggggg so only 1 state winner?
And i’ve also heard that the final score is also dependent on your AMC scores?</p>
<p>Yeah the final score that they analyze to determine who goes to USAMO is your AMC score plus 10*AIME score.</p>
<p>The AIME is the American Invitational Math Exam, and it is relatively difficult. There isn’t really a passing grade, the average is less than 4 out of 15 and I believe that last few years there was only a few people who got 15 out of 15, if that many people.</p>
<p>
Sorry. But what do you mean the final score?
The qualifying score for the USAMO is usually around 190-205. This year’s might be a bit low. The score is calculated as this—10*AIME score+AMC score</p>
<p>ohh i see. thankyou!</p>
<p>average is slightly over 4 actually. like a 4.05? If I get a 5 I’ll be extatic lol. Well I’m not making USAMO (88.5 AMC 12 = D) so GL to everyone!</p>
<p>^ wasn’t THAT bad lol. I would have gotten like a 6 but 2 stupid mistakes and one forgetful calculation and I get a 3. Lol it’s average.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This year’s AIME? Ya, i agree. But lock. Don’t talk abt it till AOPs unlocks the forum</p>
