chances of qualifying for aime in my situation
by flec, Nov 4, 2023, 3:05 AM
be completely honest and rate me and tell me of my chances
so my mom is forcing me to take amc 10
i was mad and didnt want tothen she promised me to buy me heely's if i qualify for aime and my math teacher promised me candy but i realized it could be a good opportunity and besides if my mom makes me i cant do anything about it
my skills + stats
5th grade : i got a 16 on the 2020 amc 8
on past mock amc 10's i can solve around 18 questions and get around 15 correct (on a good one) on a bad one, around 13 correct
time taken : usually take around an hour because my attention span sucks so i leave and get food before the time is over
the math class i am in rn : precalculus
competition math history : almost none except for mathkangaroo and mathcounts once and amc 8
weaknesses: counting & probability, number theory, maybe geometry if it gets like complicated because the formulas swim around in my head, keep making sillies, keep leaving stuff not blank when i should leave it blank, having poor concentration skills during practice
strengths : algebra, geometry (depending on the type), figuring out the trick questions that look hard but are easy, pattern questions
days i have to cram : 5
mock scores : range from 80 to 110
i'm pretty good at math, but look at all of these aops kids grinding, devoting their lives, and stressing about it like it's the day of their ivy league announcements
i'm not serious like they are
i'm okay, but with these aops kids the curve is going to be hella high
of course there are the extra dumb people but still
amc gets harder and harder and harder every year, and even if the curve gets lower i'm not sure
please be honest and give me advice on what to cram so i dont have to walk in and know absolutely nothing like my last science test
