no way to verify answers yet right?
You can ask irl friends.
I donāt know any that took this test lol
I took the AMC 10B, so I know this isnāt exactly the proper thread to post in, but I just felt like sharing my gross misfortune here. I was way too overconfident in the beginning. I missed the first three easiest questions. Yes, the ones with simple multiplication and addition. I was able to find even more mistakes, so all in all, I think I got a score in the 40s. Itās embarrassing to even type that especially because I want to go into mathematics. All I can say is that I had a very bad day and definitely learned from my mistakes. Be grateful youāre not me. :))
When do you think the AMC 10A cutoffs will be out? Also, does anyone want to predict the cutoff for the A? I screwed up slightly on both but i think i did better on the A, even though most people seem to think the A was harder this yearā¦
Sorry^ i meant Amc 12 not 10
@neptuna basically me on the 12B
My biggest problem was managing time. I didnāt spend nearly enough of my pre-test time prepping for the exam, either, and I prolly shouldāve taken the 10B instead of the 12.
At least weāve got a couple years to try again? :I
How bad is it if you qual for AIME in freshman and sophomore years, and then completely bomb the AMCs your junior year?
Please ping me if you got these questions correct, #17, 20, 22, 23 and 25. I want to compare answers. Donāt put answers here until Monday night. Just ping me.
The 12B was much easier than the 12A in my opinion. I answered questions 1-13, 16, and 19 and Iām pretty sure I got all of them right. On the 12A I only answered 1-11 and made a silly mistake on one of them.
I answered exactly 14 questions and left the rest blank, which should be enough to get me 100.5 if I get all the questions rightā¦
If.
I only know that two of my answers are correct right now because they were things I could easily search up, but I really hope the others were as well. I found the ones that I answered pretty easy, and the rest pretty difficult. Iām not going to be too bummed if I donāt make the AIME cut, though, because I never have in the past (although I didnāt take the AMC last year) and Iām not much of a competition math person anyways.
What do you guys think cutoff is gonna be? I think similar to 12A, mid or high 90ās but under 100
I think either 99 or 100
I think the cutoff will be pretty high since I got 87 on A and 100.5 on B. Finally made AIME after years of hard work. Yay!
Good job @masalvada123 . I thought for sure I had made it with 100.5 but I made a stupid mistake on #12 because I donāt know how to add under pressure, so Iām stuck with a 94.5. Iām guessing the cutoff will be 100 because it was fairly easy in comparison to previous years.
Unofficial answer key is up on AOPS. Got a 103.5
^^ But you can pretty much assume that AoPS has the right answers. Itās AoPS, after all.
I donāt remember all of my answers, so Iām not sure if I made the cut or not. Iām especially worried about #11āpretty sure I got the rest of my answers correct, but that one was a bit iffy for me and Iām not sure if I answered D or E.
What is the consensus on the cutoff? 100.5 or below?
It canāt be 100.5⦠the highest cutoff for AMC 12 is 100. I think itās most likely going to be 100, going off the fact that itās the B and that the test was comparatively easier than previous AMCs.
