Practice Problems for the AIME |
The American High School Mathematics Exam (AHSME
- AMC12
and AMC10)
was given to BHS students on January 31, 2006. These top nine students at BHS qualified and
were invited to take the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME),
a grueling 3 hour, 15 question, non-calculator test and most of them are
still smiling. Congratulations on this achievement. This
picture was taken at the end of the three hour testing period.

Information about the test: A total of 18,280 students wrote AIME
I with an average score of 2.71 and 4,484 students wrote AIME II with
average score of 2.86. Please note that the AIME is a more difficult
exam than either the AMC 10 or 12 and students should be honored just to
take part in it.
The USAMO index cutoff for AMC 12 writers is 217.0. In addition,
students in 10th grade or below achieving an AIME score of 8 and above AND
having an index of 212 were also selected to write the USAMO.
Students who are selected to participate in the USA Mathematical
Olympiad want to study from materials similar in difficulty to the USAMO.
For learning and practice, many fine books are available at the MAA at
www.maa.org, click "Bookstore," or from
your favorite on-line book retailer.
In addition, the last several years' USAMO problems are available on-line
at our website:
