There are timed practice AMC 12 and AIME exams that students complete as well to help them prepare for the real exams.As with every CTY Online Programs course, the student is assigned an instructor to provide feedback, monitor the progress of the student, and grade assessments.
[1] About a year ago [2], I posted my thoughts on what the most important things were in math contest training.
Now that I’m done with the IMO I felt I should probably revisit what I had written.
(Although we do give prizes.) Student solutions to the USAMTS problems are graded by mathematicians and comments are returned to the students.
Our goal is to help all students: We wish to foster not only insight, ingenuity and creativity, but also the virtue of perseverance, which is equally essential in scientific endeavors.
They simply figure that AOPS has a lot of successful people that excel at both contests, so why not see what they did?
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works – that’s what this post is saying. Students may use any materials - books, calculators, computers - but all the work must be their own.The USAMTS is run on the honor system - it is an individual competition, whose competitive role is very secondary.Although the Art of Problem Solving is widely used by students preparing for mathematics competitions, the book is not just a collection of tricks.The emphasis on learning and understanding methods rather than memorizing formulas enables students to solve large classes of problems beyond those presented in the book.Students can contact their instructor via email with any questions or concerns at any time.Live one-on-one online review sessions can also be scheduled to prepare for the graded assessments, which include homework, tests, and a cumulative final exam.Students learn to think at an advanced level as they tackle challenging problems.Students explore a variety of math topics and problem-solving strategies in-depth, and practice problem-solving contest-style problems.It looks like the main point of my post a year ago was mainly to debunk the idea that specific resources are important.Someone else phrased this pretty well in the replies to the thread The issue is many people simply ask about how they should prepare for AIME or USAMO without any real question.
