AMC10B is tomorrow. At this point, I'm basically relying on chocolate. I mean, I've already drilled power of a point, the magic trig hexagon, law of cosines, law of sines, Euler's totient function, and pretty much everything I think I need for AMC10 into my head by now, so I feel ready and all. But there's still some apprehension. Why? Well, that's rather simple. AIME.
I know, I'm only in eighth grade, I've still got two more years, blah blah blah. What's more, I already scored a 127.5 on the 10A. But like, WHAT IF I FREAKING MISBUBBLED!!!!! And that brings me to my complaint about the MAA.
I'm writing this post on the sixteenth of February, at 6:28 p.m. EST. Right now, the 10A scores haven't been posted. So I can't just waltz into the test center and blow it if I think it's hard, I have to work hard, and check my work, and most of all, THE PRESSURE! I did good on the 10A, (well, I mean 127.5 is not bad for me, but seeing the rest of my friends and the other AoPSers complain, I feel like I didn't do that bad) because I knew I had the 10B to save me...but...now... I know I'm paranoid, but I'm also being realistic. And yeah, does anyone feel the MAA has been slacking a little bit? I mean, look at the 10A and how weird it was. And now, it's been two full weeks, and not a single score has been posted. Sure, sure, "celebrating a century of advancing mathematics" But sometimes, old age comes with weakness, other times, it bring renewed vigor. I hope you can pull it back together MAA, because I'm relying on you to send me to the IMO...one day...
