For those who want to take a free practice test before the AMC 10/12 competitions, you can simulate a real competition experience by following this link. As you assess your performance on these exams, be sure to gather data!

[list][*]Which problems did you get right?
[list][*]Was the topic a strength (e.g. number theory, geometry, counting/probability, algebra)?
[*]How did you prepare?
[*]What was your confidence level?[/list]
[*]Which problems did you get wrong?
[list][list][*]Did you make an arithmetic error?
[*]Did you misread the problem?
[*]Did you have the foundational knowledge for the problem?
[*]Which topics require more fluency through practice (e.g. number theory, geometry, counting/probability, algebra)?

jmo cutoff

N 36 minutes ago by Lhaj3
Source: me
You guys NEED to stop freaking out about JMO cutoffs Its likely going to be in the early-mid 210's assuming an average level aime( 2021 aime?) So if you have a 110+ on the amc 10, you are in contention for USAJMO- its not LIKELY but its possible. My guess is maybe 15ish percent? really, too many people are freaking out about cutoffs- at the end of the day, most of you have next year and the year after that and can always keep improving. You got this!

How do AMC scores translate to MathCounts States, given that the problems are pretty similar?

AMC and math counts are not similar. AMC questions often require bashing or long solutions, while math counts has short and clean solutions, so it is very hard to have a clear conversion. For example, I got a 93 on the 2022 AMC and I got 42 in chapter. There are completely different problem styles.

Sure the problems aren't the same but I would be willing to bet that like all the top scorers on MathCounts score well on AMC-10 and vice versa
