Clickbait title…but now that you’re here, could you help me out:

I’m aiming to qualify for AIME through either the 12A or B this November…I haven’t had a big competition math background and I took one of the recent AMC 12’s a few weeks ago and was able to get like the first 9 questions correct.

My strategy is to review problems/lessons in AOPS and spam problems which I would then review with AI/relevant AOPS problems.

Do you guys think this is the best way to qualify if I can genuinely put in 15-20 hours a week? also, what are some good resources other than previous exams to “spam problems”?

so basically I’m a rising junior with minimal competion math experience…last year I got like a 37 or something like that on the AMC 10. this year I’m taking both the 12A and 12B and want to qualify.

i took like a practice exam a few weeks ago on a recent previous amc 12 and was able to get like the first 9-10 questions correct.

i was wondering what the absolute “best” way to study is(I’m in a normal accelerated math track at school for context). I can put in around 15-20 hours a week until then.

When do applications open for incoming freshmen? And how big is the time commitment if accepted?

But how would it look to Harvard REA specifically, if my transcript says I have a 3.84 unweighted gpa, but I also had:

- perfect grades junior year(imperfections were in frosh/soph year)

-counselor explains that frosh/soph year imperfections were due to mental health issues, and I grew from it and performed perfectly junior year

-worst grades on transcript were B+’s in humanities classes(I’m applying as a stem major)

-I took max rigor( like 6 aps)

-35 ACT

-no hooks, competitive region, feeder school(to t20’s, not necessarily HYPSM feeder)

Hey everyone, I’m a rising Junior taking the AMC 12A and 12B in November. Last year, without any real competitive math experience, I got a 39 on the amc 10. So far, I’ve been doing practice problems and going through AOPS Vol 1 and doing the problems at the end and reading through the lessons.
a few weeks ago I think I was able to get like the first 8-9 questions on an AMC 12 from recent years but have trouble with the rest.

i was wondering what the absolute best way to maximize my chances of qualifying this year would be. I’m able to dedicate around 2-3 hours a day over the summer and 1-2 o during the school year and probably more on weekends.

thanks in advance!

getting a meta vr thingy soon, and IRL I’m rated around ~2000 in USATT. I was wondering what I could expect my elo to be on 11 right off the bat, and how to get to 3800+ elo. thanks!
