<p>My school requires all math honor students to take the test every year (except my junior year – idk why).
9th and 10th graders take the AMC 10 and 11th and 12th graders take the AMC 12. </p>
<p>When I was a freshman, I received an 81 (pretty crappy but my school is mediocre haha) which the highest score out of the freshman and sophomore class that year. Sadly, my score was still too low to go to USJAMO. My school doesn’t really specifically prepare us for this test nor tell us much about it, so I really didn’t care.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I should write this on my college app b/c I’m looking to apply to the Ivies but I’m well aware that my competitors probably scored way higher than my 81 and even became top USJAMO winners.</p>
