Is EGMO overkill for late amc - mid-late aime geo?
I'm working through chapters 2 and 3 right now and was just wondering if it would be useful to continue with the book given the level i'm at

USAMTS and AMC 10?
HungryCalculator   7
N Today at 2:52 AM by Pompompurin88
Say you take the USAMTS and AMC10, and you qualify for AIME through both pathways.

Does your JMO qualification now depend on your AMC10 pathway (AMC + AIME), or just the 9+ on AIME required for JMO Qual through the USAMTS + AIME pathway?

Are you even allowed to take both USAMTS and AMC10 in the first place?

9 OTIS vs. WOOT

N Today at 1:58 AM by mathnerd_101
Is OTIS or WOOT better? I know OTIS is self-paced, and I'm a little worried that I won't be able to do as much as work because I have a lot of other stuff going on in my life during the school year. WOOT, on the other hand, has weekly homework, which makes me have to do it. I can spend at least 20 hours a week on this, and at least 10 hours during competition season. Can you please give me your honest opinion on this? Thanks :yup:

Let $\omega$ be the incircle of a fixed equilateral triangle $ABC$. Let $\ell$ be a variable line that is tangent to $\omega$ and meets the interior of segments $BC$ and $CA$ at points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. A point $R$ is chosen such that $PR = PA$ and $QR = QB$. Find all possible locations of the point $R$, over all choices of $\ell$.

How do I prep for AIME???
PenguFish   19
N Today at 1:04 AM by ethan2011
(I meant to say amc 10 preparation, my bad)

I need help. I was recently doing some math but thought that this math tool was really unproductive to me, so I switched to other math tools, until I was like, “ok, is there any math tool that is even remotely good?” So now I’m asking you guys, what books/websites/tests should I do to prep for AIME? (Note: when doing mock tests, I got an average of around 100, not sure if that’s good because I’m pretty sure there’s no aime cutoff announcement in google rn for earlier tests)
Also im making this post before I search for any posts that already do this, so please don’t say anything like there’s already a post for that. Thank you guys!!!

Hello orz aopers
What are your thoughts on vol 1 compared to reading intro alg, into c&p, and intro geo for amc10/12 prep?
I've heard many varying opinions on this some saying that vol 1 doesnt cover enough depth.

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral satisfying $AD^2 + BC^2 = AB^2$. The diagonals of $ABCD$ intersect at $E$. Let $P$ be a point on side $\overline{AB}$ satisfying $\angle APD = \angle BPC$. Show that line $PE$ bisects $\overline{CD}$.

Hello, I am a math enthusiast comfortable with algebra and basic calculus and wish to begin physics. Though many sources would recommend HRK, I do not learn well whatsoever with text books. Does anybody have a full online crash course to get a student to USAPhO qualification level within 6 to 9 months? Thank You.

Let $\mathbb{Z}$ be the set of all integers. Find all pairs of integers $(a,b)$ for which there exist functions $f \colon \mathbb{Z}\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ and $g \colon \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ satisfying
\[ f(g(x))=x+a \quad\text{and}\quad g(f(x))=x+b \]for all integers $x$.
