U.S.J.A.M.O tips from a superstar!
K-Cliquey   23
N 4 minutes ago by sultanine
Source: smart people
Hi every body. I know it is very stressful because the U.S.J.A.M.O. is soon, I just want to make sure everyone pays attention to their mental health. Every day, remember mental health is more important than U.S.J.A.M.Ο.

And I used to be worse than my friend at U.S.J.A.M.O., but I improve, so here are my tips for making sure mental health on the U.S.J.A.M.O.


1. Drink water. You are not cactus.


2. Don't drink too much water. Or else you will pee.


3. Get protein. I recommend cow meat.


4. (I am serious) Have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. I got rejected 8 times before I met Lennon Court, but he is my best emotional support on the U.S.J.A.M.O. now. It is good emotional support.


5. Sleep early. I know you guys are scared of dreaming about bad U.S.J.A.M.O. grade, but just think about #4 so you can get mental healthy from sleep instead of nightmare.


6. Social to your friends! They are also good mental healthy support.



Now, most importantly, ADD YOUR TIPS TO THIS LIST. PLEASE COMMENT DOWN BELOW YOUR TIPS FOR GOOD MENTAL HEALTH. We are a TEAM to have good MENTAL HEALTH.

Hello mortals!

For those of you that qualified for the USAMO / USAJMO, I have a message for you! Remember to have fun! And enjoy the experience! Personally, I did not qualify for the USAMO / USAJMO! But I am still eager to try the high quality thought-provoking problems! As I once said... it's not all about the score!

Furthermore, for those like myself who failed along the way, it's A-OK! Don't worry, fellows! Remember to smile and enjoy your lives! There is more than math out there!

I'm an 8th grader and I got 25 on amc8 but only 40 on chapter, I made aime barely this year but I got like problem 4 wrong on 10a :wallbash_red:
so yes with your stats you have a decent chance, just study more and do past mocks, you can find them here on aops.
try to aim for at least 100. This year's cutoff for 10a was really low (94.5) but most years it's higher.
because you are in alg2, I'd recommend doing some geometry because there are several of those problems. maybe also start trig because they can provide faster solutions to them. but alg2 is a good start.
And make sure to not make sillies!!!!!!!!!! but I cant rlly say anything about that because i myself make 100000000 sillies every day :whistling:

If you are talking about qualifying for aime this year, anyone that can take the test can qualify for aime. They just have to work hard.
