Special AIME Problem Seminar A

This class is a special 5-hour weekend seminar to prepare for the AIME, which is the second in the series of tests used to determine the United States team at the International Math Olympiad. Many top colleges also request AIME scores as part of the college application process. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics relevant to the AIME. The course also includes a practice AIME test.

Who Should Take?

This class is appropriate for students who are hoping to pass the AIME. If a student already consistently scores above 10 on the AIME, this class is probably not necessary, and if a student is unlikely to answer more than 1 or 2 questions correctly, then that student should start with some of our Introduction series of classes. The material for this class is distinct from the Special AIME Problem Seminar B.

Lessons

Lesson 1 Algebra and Counting
Lesson 2 Number Theory and Geometry

Really helpful for learning problem solving strategies. One of the things I liked most about the class was that the thought processes behind all the solutions were explained, allowing me to apply them to my own problems.
