I'm in 8th grade and have never taken the AMC 10. I am currently in alg2. I have scored 20 on AMC 8 this year and 34 on the chapter math counts last year. Can I qualify for AIME. Also what should I practice AMC 10 next year?

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:

Both completely different skill sets

my scores last year were

AMC 8: 17
chapter: 41 (My MATHCOUNTS skills were more developed)
AMC 10: 81

This year:

AMC 8: 21
Chapter: 43
AMC 10: 135

imo just take mocks + learn the theory from aops
mathdash good too

Can you solve the problems with unlimited time? If not, you should probably read AOPS vol 1 since you might be lacking theory.

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.

I recently took the 2021(spring) 10b I got 90. But I was able to go back and get 20 with unlimited time on my second try. I have a lot of trouble with the last 5. Based on this should I take a class(which one) read vol1/vol2 or something else?

Sign up for the AoPS AMC10 Final Fives and also read the Intermediate series because they are more concise and detailed

When are the AMC 10 test relatively the same difficulty as current tests. Also is there a point where the AMC 12 is similar difficulty as current.

Sorry for double posting
