Hello, I am new to these forums. I am currently a sophomore taking Precalculus that wants to get better at contest mathematics and hopefully qualify for USAMO next year. Last year, I did not qualify for the AIME, but this year, I scored a 117 on the AMC 10A, just enough to take the AIME, and the AIME was very hard for me. I have never had experience with any of the AoPS books and I was just wondering what you guys recommend that I should do in order to qualify for USAMO next year.
I'm thinking of working through AoPS vol 1 to bring up my fundamentals, and then maybe taking an AMC 12 or an AIME class over the summer along with doing the AoPS vol 2 to help on the AIME. I am unsure about the specific AoPS classes such as Precalculus and the Intermediate classes.
What do you suggest that I do? Thank you so much for your help.
