Dnas Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Same here, except with the 04 USAMO and AIME. I barely understood their solutions when I read them much ess be able to solve them, but in the actual test, I got an 8 on AIME and 4 (out of 42) on the USAMO.Other than that, yeah, I pretty much always do that. But I'm getting better. I'm not so nervous now.It's probably something to do with the "I have to get a high enough score or else I'm going to make a fool of myself" feeling. Because, last year on the USAMO and AIME, I didn't have that feeling. I had more of "Whatever. The problems are interesting to think about, but it's not like I'll make it to the next test" feeling.
