How many TJ students can qualify AIME each year?

[Anonymous]

I was wondering roughly how many students can qualify AIME every year. Does anyone know?

MAA hasn't released the lists for several years. From what I remember from that data, around 15-20 8th graders in the TJ catchment area qualified for AIME, and around 15 per grade level at TJ.

The only recent info we have is that 10 TJ students qualified for USAMO and another 3 for USAJMO.

Every single one who scores highly enough on AMC 10/12

How many students are in the math team? Can everyone in the team qualify AIME?

15 per grade, that is way low than I would expect.

About 230 students attend at least a meeting every other week. 70+ students attend every week and are very actively involved.

Two years back 50-55 students qualified for AIME. That is roughly the average per year.

Approximately 300 qualifiers from VA, so 60 from TJ seems about right.

Probably fewer 9th graders and 12th grades, more 10th and 11th.

How do they have a meeting with 150 kids?

A meeting = a test?

Exactly. There is no limit per school or area. The test is administered all over the country and you are competing will all test-takers, not just the ones at your school or district.

As many as meet the score requirement.

Will AIME cutoff be lower this year? AMC exams seem harder than last year.

I heard that the 10B was very hard. What were your kid’s scores? I wouldn’t be surprised if the cutoffs are around 95 for the 10s.

Quoted PP here. I checked with my kid who runs his high school math club. He expected at least a couple of his AMC10 people to squeak into AIME, but he said that they all really struggled this year. He would not be surprised if the AIME cutoffs are mid 90s for the A and even high 80s through low 90s on the B.

Too much cheating on AMCs so not sure it holds as much prestige anymore.
