AIME Cutoff: Students scoring this value or higher qualify for this year’s AIME competition, held on March 11th, 2020, or AIME II on Thursday, March 19, 2020.
Honor Roll of Distinction: Students scoring this value or higher represent the top 1% of scores.
Distinction: Students scoring this value or higher represent the top 5% of scores.
Note: In previous years, the AIME Cutoff score was almost the same as the Distinction score. However, more students were invited to take this year’s AIME, so the cutoff score is lower. Good luck to students taking the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME). The AIME I must be administered on Wednesday, March 10 from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM ET. The AIME II must be administered on Thursday, March 18 from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM ET. If you took the AMC 10/12 A test, your teacher should have the score report for your school. If you took the AMC 10/12 B test, your teacher should have the score report for your school very soon.

We are only one in the Washington DC metropolitan area to offer elementary, middle, and high-school level competition math courses. Our students have received top scores and awards at prestigious national math competitions.Great Benefits of Math Competitions In an increasingly competitive college application pool, the process of mastering math skills through our courses and participating in the American Math Competitions will help students strengthen and diversify their extracurricular activities. These contests can motivate students’ interest and passion in math, and they can discover their talent through solving challenging problems different from those in the school classes. Many top colleges also request AMC scores as part of the college application process. Both MIT and Caltech have entry blanks on their official admission application forms for the applicant to enter their best AMC and AIME scores. Ivy League Colleges and Stanford ask for to the AMC and AIME scores in their Supplement to the Common Application Forms. Your children deserve the chance to list these scores on their applications! Good AMC scores will greatly enhance admission opportunities for students to elite colleges. Read more:
