AMC 12 Final Fives

This course is designed specifically to tackle the challenging final five problems of the AMC 12, the first in the series of contests that determine the United States team for the International Mathematics Olympiad. Many prestigious universities also consider AMC scores as part of the college application process. This course teaches you the tactics needed for the last five problems, which often determine the high scorers in the exam. Our sessions will include in-depth discussions of these types of problems, as well as unique, effective strategies to approach them. By the end of the course, students will have a clear understanding of these complex problems. This course includes a practice competition focusing on the last five problems of the AMC 12.

This course has given me a confidence in math that I have never before had in my life. Everything about AoPS is different from the math that schools teach, even in the most elite courses. The explanation of concepts is different, and there are more challenging problems than just plugging values into a formula to find an answer. While I do have to admit that I have been pushed over and over again to the peak of my mathematical ability, I have also begun to see math, particularly geometry, as more of an art that I have begun to enjoy more and more. I feel that I am very lucky to have found AoPS, even if my age is older than most of the students in this course.
