<p>Well…I didn’t get that great of a score, but qualifying for AIME is cool because it will be fun trying to solve problems.</p>
<p>The AMC is meant to select good math students, of course, but it is also there to spread porblem-solving math to students who may not be particularly fond of the math taught in school. </p>
<p>If a person just barely makes AIME even though he may not be qualified to really do well, he/she still may come out of it with a new appreciation for math and may want to explore further…</p>
