<p>I read on the website that 120 points on the AMC 10 will advance you to the AIME. But now the qualification is scoring within the top 1%. Does this make it harder or easier to advance?</p>

<p>I think it is an either/or thing. The cutoff it either 120 or the top 1%, whichever is lower. It is usually around 116, I think. AMC 12 works the same way, except it’s 100 or top 5%.</p>

<p>EDIT: Hm, the website does say 100 on AMC 12 or top 1% on AMC 10. I think that may be because 100 on the 12 is usually top 5%, and top 1% on the 10 is usually less than 120, so they just state it that way. Though maybe they did change the rules. I don’t know.</p>

<p>In any case, top 1% I think has ALWAYS been the cut for the 10 (I don’t think it ever defaulted to 120), so it should be just as hard as it always has.</p>

<p>well the 15 Qs in AMC 10 and 12 are identical :smiley: So it mite just be better off to solve the AMC 12 Q’s, since they have the same chance of getting the first 90 points.</p>
