2019 AMC 10B

I will be taking it in 30 minutes, which feels super weird. Although I can skip math class for this, I have to make up the quiz after school which sucks.
Anyways, here's what I did in the past few days:
1. Wrote an SAT Essay.
2. Did the end-of-chapter problems of chapters 6 (polynomials), 9 (complex numbers), and 13 (equations) of volume 2.
3. Studied Precalc chapters 8 and 9 (complex geometry and vectors)
4. More Alcumus
5. and more but my mom's calling me to leave so I'll post them later.
Adding something irrelevant but I don't feel like making a new entry about: so today I talked to my math teacher about my math class next year: I plan to take Calculus D (dual enrollment), but the prerequisite for that is completion of Calculus BC course. Unfortunately, I didn't have the privilege of taking that course (aka not enough space), so my teacher recommend me to take an online BC course which sounds like a waste of time and money. This might sound bad (and it did when I first thought about it), but then I realized that this is going to be my excuse of taking another AoPS course! I enjoy AoPS courses very much and taking a rigorous Calculus course sounds awesome, plus I don't have to worry about wasting my time / money because it's going to be worth it. So now I'm in a pretty good mood (good enough to sit here and type this) as long as I don't think about the AMC this morning (oops I am thinking about it again
).
==========
Test report:
CCCCC CCCCW CCCCC CCBWC CBBBB = 115.5.
I got #10 wrong because I was rushing the test and didn't even bother to check the answers.
I put 98 for #19 because I'm dumb, and I actually felt much better seeing 119 is also wrong and so many people got trolled by this.
I left #18 blank because my brain was not functioning correctly, and I ended up wasting a long time on this.
Favorite problem: #16 (nice geometry).
Least favorite problem: #15 (literally just a bash).
==========
Did not do well (also last AMC 10 sad) but at least I have an okay 10A score. Time for AIME prep!
