<p>I was looking at the AMC 12b from last year and I could only do 11 
I did get those 11 right though hahah
omg that is an 87 sigh</p>
<p>I’m guessing that basically the day before isn’t a good time to start hardcore prepping</p>
<p>^Not familiar with the AMC 12, but wouldn’t a 93 or something qualify you for AIME? I know it’s definitely lower than the ~120 on the 10, but not too sure how much lower…</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity The definite cutoff is 100. Depending on the difficulty of that particular version, they might extend the cutoff to the top 2.5% of testers (basically whichever is more inclusive, a score of 100 or the top 2.5%).</p>
<p>@elf4EVA for amc 12 it’s top 5%</p>
<p>last year’s cutoff scores were</p>
<p>AMC-10 A - 108
AMC-10 B - 120
AMC-12 A - 88.5
AMC-12 B - 93</p>
<p>AMC tomorrow lol</p>
<p>brb miserably failing</p>
<p>Checked my scores for the AMC 10, got a 102… really disappointed cause I made lots of stupid mistakes, and I though I had a good chance this year too. </p>
<p>@loltired - That’s actually a pretty big deviation. /:</p>
<p>@loltired Whoops, my bad - I was thinking about the AMC10 (this is my first year taking the 12 haha)</p>
<p>update I figured out how to do 3 more of last year’s amc problems
if i can get 14 right and leave the rest blank i’ll qualify for AIME but i probably have like a 10% chance</p>
<p>ask me questions about problems you don’t understand, or go on aops(but it’s down now cause the amc b test)</p>
<p>How hard is the AMC?</p>
<p>@meander Pretty hard if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you prepare (ie take practice tests, know the types of problems that are on the test,then you should be good). The AMC isn’t hard in a content sense. It tricks you by the wording of the questions and what it asks for. So getting those tricks will make the AMC seem easier.</p>
<p>Just took the AMC 12. It destroyed me. I answered 8-9 but probably missed a couple. Definitely not making AIME. Do you guys think I stand a shot at making AIME year? If so, any tips/tricks?</p>
<p>This is what I am planning on for next year:
AP Biology
AP English 11 (Language and Composition)
AP Computer Science
AP US History
Honors French 4
Honors Band
Honors Physics
Pre-Calculus</p>
<p>Any idea how easy/hard it will be? Any suggestions on books to help study or websites or whatnot? I really want to do well</p>
<p>@Bardinators - From what I understand, AP Computer Science is easy if you have a decent grasp on Logic.</p>
<p>@Bardinators I heard it’s easy because most schools cover it in one year. (Our school actually finished the entire course in under a semester) So you should be fine.</p>
<p>Anyone here taken AP Physics C yet? (Either of them?)</p>
<p>@Meander - I haven’t taken it yet. Could you help explain to me how the new AP Physics class breakdown works? I haven’t been able to wrap my head around it.</p>
<p>Yeah, so here’s what I’ve heard. Collegeboard is scratching off Physics B and replacing it with a slower, more spread out version of it (AP Physics I and II). The reason being was that teachers were complaining about not having enough lab time (I’m sure you know that colleges have lab-classes) on the subjects.</p>
<p>However, they are still keeping both of the Physics C subjects because they’re so concentrated (At least I think?).</p>
<p>Alright, that makes sense. Thank you.</p>
<p>Is B necessary for success in AP Physics C? Since I’ll be done with cal BC this year, I was thinking of doing physics over the summer. What physics should I cover to lay a foundation for C?</p>
