Who Should Take?

Our AIME Problem Series A and AIME Problem Series B courses are designed for students who are very confident that they will qualify for the AIME contest. Students who consistently expect to score 5 or more on the AIME may instead wish to consider our MathWOOT program. AIME-qualifying students would also benefit from any of our Intermediate-level subject courses.

Please note, we offer two versions of this class: AIME Problem Series A and AIME Problem Series B. These two courses are roughly the same difficulty, but the problems covered in the two courses are completely different. Many students opt to take both classes, and the classes can be taken in either order.

12 Extending Your Geometric Range

I really like the structure of this class. It makes it so that you take control of your own learning, but with more structure than complete self-studying. The problems were challenging, but it felt really good to be able to figure them out. I'm sure this class has improved and will improve my test scores.
