<p>erm, right, sorry, I was giving AIME guidelines. In a typical year, below 110 is points for trying 110-120 is good, 120-130 is very good, 130-140 is excellent, and 140+ is open mouths. But it depends on what the other scores that year look like, obviously.</p>
<p>Obiously these are very rough approximations and in general what’s important is the information provided by the scores within the context of your application. For example, a 110 or 120 from someone at a school with little enrichment available, etc. would be as impressive as a 140 for someone who has clearly spent a lifetime training for the AMC. So do well, but don’t go crazy over the little things, since we take into account what you had to work with.</p>
