for the contest high achievers, can you share your math path?
HCM2001   27
N 30 minutes ago by HCM2001
Hi all
Just wondering if any orz or high scorers on contests at young age (which are a lot of u guys lol) can share what your math path has been like?
- school math: you probably finish calculus in 5th grade or something lol then what do you do for the rest of the school? concurrent enrollment? college class? none (focus on math competitions)?
- what grade did you get honor roll or higher on AMC 8, AMC 10, AIME qual, USAJMO qual, etc?
- besides aops do you use another program to study? (like Mr Math, Alphastar, etc)?

You're all great inspirations and i appreciate the answers.. you all give me a lot of motivation for this math journey. Thanks

I've scored a 132 on 10A and I think that's my best shot of making JMO. I think a score of 10-11 is reasonable for me, correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, the dhr+99.5 is an extremity from last year for jmo cutoff. dhr+95=233.5 on 10B should be a safe score, but also depends on aimes difficulty. Last years was pretty easy

Why do you guys keep asking if _______(this number) will make it. You can search up previous cutoffs and figure out your chance. Btw you have absolutely no chance(jk), index will probably be 500+...( :pilot:

236+ is just insane. Like what is the justification for this after every other year in AMC history not having a JMO cutoff greater that 232 with the exception of last years A+I. Plus this is with cheaters and the largest AMC leak in a while. Also, max JMO cutoff ever was is DHR+99.5 (also last yr w cheaters). I mean, 238 sounds a little outrageous, when you think abt the 180-200 only 2 years ago, no?

Not me reading this with 234 A+I last year :noo:
