Official CC AIME: 2009 Scores Thread

<p>So AIME I was yesterday, and we are now allowed to discuss the contest. So how did the contest go for all of you guys? Find it easy? Hard? A</p>

<p>I got a 10, after doing 1-11 and making a mistake on #6. Thought it was pretty easy, but not the easiest I’ve ever done, which would be 2005.</p>

<p>I thought it was pretty average difficulty. Got an 11 after making a stupid mistake on #14 and not finishing #5. Good enough for USAMO is all that matters to me though. =)</p>

<p>I thought it was easier than previous years, but I managed to mess up on #1… ugh. After answering 12, I think only 9 of those are correct.</p>

<p>I thought it was hard. But I didn’t study. I got 2. Thought I had 4. Shouldve had 3</p>

<p>missed number 1 and number 11 (two of the easiest on the test) due to careless mistakes… got an 8, blahs
good enough for usamo but i really should be scoring higher</p>

<p>what do you need for usamo?</p>

<p>Hmmm…should have got 12 (I’m not the best arithmetician =( )
Wtvr, still tied for the best on CC =)
Hopefully, I’ll qualify for USAMO again…</p>

<p>I thought it was harder than last year, lol. But that might just be because I actually recognized a difficult problem when I saw it, as opposed to last year, where I assumed I was doing it right and didn’t worry about the specifics.</p>

<p>I got a 10. But unlike some of you guys, I’m sure I couldn’t have gotten those other questions correct regardless.</p>

<p>Would have gotten an 8 if not for calculation errors on four of them (including the first and second questions, heh). Damn.</p>

<p>I also thought it was easier than the previous two years. This year I could solve eight problems while previously I could figure out only five (with no corresponding increase in AMC 12 score).</p>

<p>got 2 or 3 right</p>

<p>11-3=8, for practice (taking ii).</p>

<p>I got 4, plus another if my random guess of 041 was in the right spot (I put it a few times).</p>

<h1>3, #6, #8, #13 (which was surprisingly the easiest)</h1>

<p>Yeah, 13 was surprisingly easy, comparable to last year’s 12.</p>

<p>I got a 7, could have gotten an 8, if I hadn’t miscounted on #11 (I put 599 instead of 600).</p>

<p>Funny, I still can’t get the right answer for #13 (or #15 for that matter)…</p>

<p>I just plugged in the factors of 2009 on a whim.</p>

<p>It was correct.</p>

<p>wow you guys did awesome, guess you’re all getting into college :)</p>

<p>i got a 7 my best year. the year after, i got a 2.</p>

<p>are there answers to these things anywhere online yet?</p>
