*OFFICIAL* AMC 12 2012 Discussion Thread

<p>althought ive been to west coast for only once but im pretty sure they dont have school at 7pm…</p>

<p>The question with paula and the rates could you post that, that one killed me -___- i was expecting hardcore trig and log</p>

<p>i actually would love to see some trig and log…i am good at those… not squences…</p>

<p>EDIT…not sure if its good to post…</p>

<p>Modular math take 365 mod 7. lol</p>

<p>it’s not that they’re at SCHOOL right now. there are alternate testing times. the rules explicitly state you don’t discuss the problems until the next day.
believe me, i want the answers just as much as you do.</p>

<p>@xjgege</p>

<p>Since Hawaii is the state with the latest time, does that mean we can start discussing when Hawaii time passes 12:00 AM ie. in 6.5 hours?</p>

<p>that’s the general rule, yes. so we can all get up at 5 in the morning :)</p>

<p>Alright sorry about that, but curious did anyone get anything from 15-20 I got one of them.</p>

<p>i think i got 17…?</p>

<p>i almost got 18!!!</p>

<p>yeah 17 was pretty easy. 18 is pretty killer o.o</p>

<p>i dont even remember 17…
so basically everyone thinks its harder than last years test?</p>

<p>I got an 81 I got 7-11 wrong but then I got the harder 12-17 right… Ugh good bye aime!.</p>

<p>22-25 were really difficult in my opinion… More so than the last questions in Past year amcs</p>

<p>Um , I pretty murdered myself in this exam…its my first … I toke the AMC12A and got 91.5… so does that mean there is no way I can make it to the AIME ={ ?</p>

<p>I’m happy I got 15 though I was the only one in my school to get that black and white square question</p>

<p>jaciez, last years aime cutoff was 93, that of 2010 was 88.5…so…you might have a chance since everyone thinks this year is a lot harder than previous year</p>

<p>jackie its possible but not that likely. 22-25 were like impossible o.o, 20 and 21 were easily doable in my opinion straight forward number theory.</p>

<p>I also thought the hexagon question was really was for #14. Definitely easier than 11 12 and 13 in my opinion</p>

<p>But before 2010 the cutoff was 97 from 2007-2009 so who knows what the cutoff will be</p>
