AMC and JMO qual question
HungryCalculator   4
N 25 minutes ago by eyzMath
Say that on the AMC 10, you do better on the A than the B, but you still qualify for AIME thru both. Then after your AIME, it turns out that you didn’t make JMO through the A+AIME index but you did pass the threshold for the B+AIME index.

does MAA consider your B+AIME index over the A+AIME index and consider you a JMO qualifier even tho Your A test score was higher?

Hi everyone,
I have 2 questions. Could anyone help me with them?
1. How do I get good at computational? I'm pretty good with AMC/AIME/BmMT, but I'm really bad at the subject tests in college competitions. (Last year 24th place general BMT). For example, I can solve around 8-12 AIME problems, but mocking a HMMT or SMT past test from 2024 gives me 3(which is probably top lik2 25% only). How do I improve my computational skills? I have OTIS, past tests, and lots of textbooks to use. What is the most efficient way to place top 50 at these competitions?

2. What is the ranking of college comps in terms of difficulty. My personal is:
BmMT < BMT< HMMT Nov < PUMAC < SMT < HMMT Feb

I just wanna know so I know which ones to mock first.

Thanks in advance!

I honesty believe that college comps are a lot harder than AIME. I would do lots of college comps past tests to get used to the feeling. In my opinion, the « AIME » feeling and the « HMMT/SMT/PuMAC » Feeling is different, especially since some are subject tests. (Also college comp have a bit blander questions, without as much flavor, in my own personal opinion)

its time limits that are hard. lots of the problems are aime 7+ level but the subject tests require you to do them fast as well
