Hey AOPSers,
I'm currently a sophomore, and this year is my second year in a row that I've made USAMO. I happen to suck at proofs. Alot.
Last year, I bombed the AMC 12 (100.5) and aced the AIME (11) to barely scrape by and get a 9 on USAMO = no Red MOP for me.
This year, I aced the AMC 12 (144) and semi-not failed the AIME I (10) and am studying hard to make MOP.
What materials would best prepare me to achieve MOP? Again, my proof-writing skills are sub-par. Will this be incredibly difficult?
I'm currently reading Problems from the Book and 103 Trig Problems because I happen to be weak at both theory and trig. Suggestions/comments?
