How to Prepare for the AIME

aime2

The AIME is a prestigious math competition whose successful completion provides a path towards the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO), the most premier international high school level problem solving contest. It provides the exceptional students who are invited to take it with yet another opportunity to challenge their mathematical abilities, and means towards furthering mathematical development and interest.

The best way to prepare for the AIME is to attend our AIME training program. This is a well developed, comprehensive, systematic one-year program offering an entire course to cover all the topics that will be tested on the AIME. The course is thoughtfully structured to delve into advanced mathematical concepts and hone problem-solving strategies and arts, with a particular emphasis on the kinds of challenges commonly encountered in questions 5-12 of the AIME, which are renowned for their moderate level of difficulty.

Students who participate in our training program will have free access to video recordings of every single class. Students who are not able to attend our training program can also purchase our course materials and recordings, including tutorial handouts, recorded videos, detailed solutions of homework problems, and mock tests, to learn all our course content. Starting each February just after the AIME contest, we offer these sessions in sequence, as shown below.

Sessions Topics Course Outlines
Spring Session Advanced Algebra Course Outline
Summer Session Combinatorics and Number Theory Course Outline
Fall Session Advanced Geometry Course Outline
Winter Session Comprehensive Problem Reasoning and Solving for AIME Course Outline

It must be pointed out that in each session, no old material is repeated. Each session contains new, unique material, as well as a brand new comprehensive art of problem solving. We strongly believe that learning should be a long-term process of acquiring new material, information, and knowledge.

The easiest way to prepare is to practice solving previous official AIME problems. Click the links below to visit our Practice Page for:

  • Archived Exams: A full archive of every year’s AIME I and II tests. Students can take a practice exam that includes the real questions, timing, and scoring of each exam.
  • AIME Mock Tests: Practice exams are also available for purchase. Our team developed 20 different sets of AIME mock tests for students to practice with. They are intended to mimic the actual AIME exam with 15 brand new questions all calibrated to be at the same style and difficulty level as the real AIME. In particular, they are peer-reviewed by at least two experts in math education outside our center. These simulated tests are extremely helpful for assessing students’ level of preparation for the AIME. Our team also devised detailed solutions to all 15 problems on our 20 sets of AIME mock tests.  All these mock tests and their detailed solutions are a golden fountain of knowledge for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries. Surprisingly, some problems in our previous mock tests appeared in the recent official AIME tests.

About the AIME Mock Test Series

We have collected every problem from all past AIME exams (1983–present) to build a comprehensive “big data” system. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning, we created an advanced math problem similarity and prediction tool.

Through this innovative system, we carefully analyzed the types, styles, and frequency patterns of AIME problems — effectively decoding the contest’s structure and logic.

Based on this “decoded” system, we developed 20 original AIME Mock Tests, each containing 15 brand-new problems. Every question is carefully calibrated for difficulty and style to match the official AIME exam.

These simulated exams are invaluable for assessing a student’s readiness for the AIME and building the mastery needed for top scores. Each mock test also comes with detailed step-by-step solutions explaining every problem clearly and rigorously.

Together, these 20 tests and solutions form a gold-standard resource for AIME preparation — a proven tool that has helped countless students strengthen their problem-solving skills and gain a competitive edge.


🌟 Quality You Can Trust

At Ivy League Education Center, quality is never an afterthought — it’s our foundation.

Every year, we meticulously analyze the thought processes and problem-design patterns of  10 AIME Test Creators, drawing insights from their published contest problems and mathematical research. Using this deep understanding — combined with the most recent official AIME questions and trends — we continuously refine our mock examinations so that they completely reflect the evolving style, structure, and rigor of the official contests.

Each new edition is peer-reviewed by two independent experts, ensuring every problem and solution meets the highest standards of accuracy, clarity, and educational value.

Our mock tests faithfully mirror the real MAA/AMC exams, giving students a realistic, reliable, and predictive measure of their readiness for competition.

Parents and students can have full confidence that they are preparing with the most authentic, data-driven, and expertly reviewed AMC resources available anywhere.

Why Take Mock Tests?

Taking mock tests is one of the most effective ways to maximize learning and solidify mastery of the core concepts, strategies, and techniques required to excel on the AIME — and beyond.

“Practice isn’t just preparation — it’s prediction.”
Regular testing helps students internalize methods, identify weak points, and build the confidence needed for success in national and international math contests.

Google Meet Online Class Instruction

Ivy league Cnter-2017You are very welcome to sign up for our Online Course, which offers a quick and efficient way for students to interact with teachers over long distance. We use Google Meet to connect with students in real time, provide instruction, share problem-solving strategies, and offer guidance and support. Students can ask questions face-to-face and work through problems under the supervision of our teachers/coaches.

Please Note:

  • This is a live class, not a pre-recorded one. Instructors will ask students questions during class, and students are encouraged to ask questions as well.
  • We record all of our lessons as a big bonus so that our students can watch class videos after class for review and self-study.
  • These videos will only be available to view for 30 days after the class.

Please let us know ASAP what Gmail account your child will use for Google Meet to attend our online class! We have listed below several pointers you should follow to ensure that our Google Meet session goes as smoothly as possible:

  1. We will send out the Google Meet invite at exactly 5 minutes before the start of the class. Please make sure that you have your Gmail account screen ready at that time.
  2. Please use Google Chrome as your browser. This browser supports Google Hangout MOST efficiently.
  3. Before the class, please check your microphone and webcam to make sure you are wired for sound and picture. It is absolutely imperative that your computer’s audio and visual systems are working well.
  4. Shut down ALL OTHER unnecessary software programs and browser tabs.
  5. STUDENTS PLAESE PAY ATTENTION: please leave your Google Hangout window on during the whole duration of class time and DO NOT OPEN ANY OTHER TABS OR BROWSE IN ANY OTHER TABS! AND DO NOT TOUCH THE MOUSE! EVEN DURING BREAK TIME, it is NOT advised to touch the screen AT ALL. (Throughout these years of using Google Hangout, our main line has never ever dropped. Hence we firmly believe that the reason for dropping the line must be the result of the student accidentally clicking off the Hangout screen.
  6. Make sure your device is suitably charged. A lot of devices will lag if the battery is down to its last 10%.
  7. One account per student, single device at a time: Each registered account is for one student only—the student who is enrolled with us. Course access, including live online classes, recorded lessons, and handout materials, is provided exclusively to the registered student and is strictly prohibited from being shared with any other individual. Each registered account must be logged in on only one device at a time. Logging in on multiple devices simultaneously using the same account is not permitted. If multiple devices are detected during class, our administrator will randomly remove the extra devices and keep only one active device to avoid disruption.
  8. Recording, sharing, and redistribution policy:
    To protect the learning environment and our instructional content, all course contentincluding live classes, recorded lessons, and course materials, is the intellectual property of the instructors and the program owner and is provided for the personal educational use of the registered student only.
    Students and parents are not permitted to record, screenshot, share, distribute, repost, or resell any part of the course content. The instructors and program owner do not grant, and have never granted students any rights to sell, share, redistribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the course content under any circumstances.
  9. Please make sure your display name clearly shows the student’s name. If the account belongs to a parent or uses the parent’s name, that is acceptable as long as the instructor can clearly recognize which student is attending. This helps instructors address students directly and keeps the class organized.

  10. Please join the class 5 minutes early to allow time for technical checks and to ensure the class can start on time without delays.
  11. Important!! Please DO NOT sends us the invite if your line has dropped. You will have to call our assistant through the phone line (318-888-1168) to let us know. We will send out a new invite to the group.

We know for sure that if we follow ALL of these guidelines, we will always have very smooth Google Meet online sessions.
