Before the test, I wrote a historical test every week. I probably did 50 of them. I thought I improved quite a lot, but it turns out that tests from 40 years ago were way too easy that I could even get 150 points sometimes.
There are actually 2 tests this time, a 10A and 10B. I decided to take both so I don't mess up. For 10A, I was super careful and double checked my work. I ended up completing 18 problems and left the rest blank, scoring 118.5 points.
Having a pretty nice score already, I went for speed mode on 10B and wrote a total of 21 problems. Unfortunately, I made quite a lot of mistakes and ended with only 15 correct, resulting in 96 points.
With the score I got on AMC 10A, I got the Certificate of Distinction and qualified for the AIME competition which is a way harder competition.
This year's honor roll of distinciton for AMC 10A requires 136.5 points, which is incredibly high. And the honor roll of distinction cutoff for AMC 12A is 150 points, which is quite unbelievable.
Overall, I'm quite happy with the results, and now I'm preparing for the AIME coming up and possibly the AMC 12 test for next year.
