Special AMC 12 Problem Seminar B

This course is a special 5-hour weekend seminar to prepare for the AMC 12, which is the first in the series of tests used to determine the United States team at the International Math Olympiad. Many top colleges also request AMC scores as part of the college application process. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics. The course also includes a practice AMC 12 test. This course is entirely different from the Special AMC 12 Problem Seminar A.

Who Should Take?

This class is appropriate for students who are hoping to pass the AMC 12. If a student already consistently scores above 120 on the AMC 12, this class is probably not necessary, and if a student is unlikely to score more than 80, then that student should start with some of our Introduction series of classes or the AMC 10 Problem Series. The material for this class is distinct from the Special AMC 12 Problem Seminar A.

Lessons

1 Counting and Number Theory
2 Algebra and Geometry

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.
