What do these scores mean?

AIME Cutoff: Students scoring this value or higher qualify for this year’s AIME I competition, held Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024, or AIME II on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024.
Honor Roll of Distinction: Students scoring this value or higher represent the top 1% of scores.
Distinction: First awarded in 2020. Students scoring this value or higher represent the top 5% of scores.

Before 2020, approximately the top 2.5% of scorers on the AMC 10 and the top 5% of scorers on the AMC 12 were invited to participate in the AIME. Since 2020, the AIME floor has been set to a higher percentage of scores, likely to ensure that a consistent number of students qualify for the AIME each year, rather than a fixed percentage. Usually, 6000-7000 competitors from the AMC 10 and 12 qualify for the AIME.

For those students who qualify based on their AMC 10/12 scores:

The AIME I must be administered on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM ET..

The AIME II must be administered on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024 between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM ET.

Qualifying students are automatically enrolled in the AIME I in their student portals. If Competition Managers are unable to administer the AIME I, they may register for the AIME II on Wednesday, Feb. 7, by completing the AIME II Registration Form by Feb. 1. Competition Managers may administer both the AIME I and II. Additionally, students who need to switch testing locations for emergency reasons must ask their original competition manager to fill out a Change of Venue form on their behalf.

Both forms will be available in the AMC Platform Dashboard under “Competition Resources.” Further instructions for Digital and Print & Scan administration of the AIME will be emailed to Competition Managers.

Our Uniqueness

We have a long history of close collaboration with the MAA‘s American Mathematics Competitions (AMC), which are dedicated to strengthening the mathematical capabilities of our nation’s youth, and are the first of a series of competitions in high school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

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, Caltech, 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.
