It is indeed possible

to make AIME first try with only 5 months of preparation.
And without any special math classes or books.
2024 AMC 10A
2024 AMC 10B
oop
it is cool
no it's not
honestly, it wasn't even that bad compared to my mock scores
i guess i really was 
ty everyone for motivating me
but now i need to know how to study for aime
anything else other than just grinding problems?
And without any special math classes or books.
2024 AMC 10A
109.5
66666 66666 66666 BB6BB BBBBB
66666 66666 66666 BB6BB BBBBB
2024 AMC 10B
91.5 
66666 66666 60BB0 B6B60 BBBBB
realistically I could have gotten 97.5 if I hadn't sillied q12 (I did try finding what 9choose4 was, but computation error gave me a number less than 100 somehow, so I chose 10 :facepalm:)
Or maybe 99 if I had left q15 blank instead of trying to solve it in the last 2 minutes (I learned my lesson, to only use the last 5 minutes to check answers and not solve more problems)
I still need to understand why I got q20 wrong though.
Disimprovement is crazy though. It doesn't matter anyways, cuz 10a
I think 10b was harder than 10a, but maybe it's just me.

Plus on the actual thing, I'm gonna freak out and make even more silly mistakes than what I do at home
