Who Should Take?

Our AIME Problem Series A and AIME Problem Series B courses are designed for students who are very confident that they will qualify for the AIME contest. Students who consistently expect to score 5 or more on the AIME may instead wish to consider our MathWOOT program. AIME-qualifying students would also benefit from any of our Intermediate-level subject courses.

Please note, we offer two versions of this class: AIME Problem Series A and AIME Problem Series B. These two courses are roughly the same difficulty, but the problems covered in the two courses are completely different. Many students opt to take both classes, and the classes can be taken in either order.

I thought this class was both enjoyable and useful. I liked how some of the later AIME problems were included in the classes and problem sets since I had never really been able to solve them before. This class was definitely helpful in solving the later problems. I took the 2009 AIME in February and again after the class and improved my score by 4 points. AIME Problem Series is both good practice for solving difficult problems and lots of fun!
