Improving timing on AMC 10

by ahxun2006
hello,
I'm currently preparing for the AMC 10, but I'm struggling with time. When doing past tests, I can only answer 10-12 questions in the 75-minute time frame. I can solve the rest of the questions, but they take me fairly long to complete (15-30 mins depending on the question). Do you guys have any tips/strategies on improving timing? Would it be best just to solve more problems?

USAMTS, JBMO, USAJMO are some good ones.
Additionally, you can use Evan Chen's MOHS scale to find introductory (0 - 10 MOHS) olympiad questions... that being said, make sure you try hard problems too, and don't let the MOHS scale "limit" what type of olympiad questions you try (i.e., don't say "I give up on this problem b/c it's 25 MOHS" or something). Hope this helps!
