Test Preparation
101

<p>how did you get 150?</p>

<p>I think for the question you basically had to figure out how many multiples of 4 there are between 1812 and 2012.</p>

102

<p>we were allowed a calendar?</p>

<p>I didn’t think so</p>

103

<p>what did everyone get for 13 and 17?</p>

104

<p>(200*365-(200/4-1))/7=10421 remains 4. so monday, sunday, saturday, friday. should be friday.</p>

105

<p>Ughh now I’m disappointed I didn’t get at least a 90</p>

106

<p>greezydc: 13.d 14.e 15.a 16.d not sure 17.b</p>

<p>Guys, you aren’t supposed to discuss THAT early, some students just entered the testing room 1 hour earlier. This is very very unfair to those who entered earlier. I do believe that every student has entered the testing room by now…(not sure…still). I’m just gonna complain more: the test was extremely difficult. Considering I have been getting 100+ consistently, this time I only got a 96, and I have been studying math really hard since summer. The AMC 12 curve will definately go below 90 (unless lots of international students take the A date this year…usually they take the B date). Ok, now we just need to study even harder for the B date</p>

108

<p>Does anyone know when the curve is announced?</p>

109

<p>about 1 day before the B date</p>

<p>@SheepGetKilled you got 130 in past year and only got 13 this time? and i think u got dickens’ birthday wrong and also #8</p>

120

<p>well, according to myself and everybody i talked to (personally), this test was significantly easier than 2011/2010
so the curve will probably be 96 or something, if its generous</p>
