How did you do on the AMC?

A sequel to my other post on preparation. For those who did well, Congratz! If you didn't, don't give up, you could get a second chance by taking the B tests(I didn't know that until I read it on AoPS yesterday that you can take both A and B).

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

I'm a little sad, 87 points on AMC 12A... respectable for my first AMC and for a freshman, but still somewhat disappointed. I've also got to buckle up for test B.

don't worry, I was exactly like a lot of other people who didn't do well on the AMC last year as a freshman, although I wasn't informed that a test B was available. However, if I were to take the B test after the tragic result of 12A(75 or something), I don't think I would've done any better. Honestly I just felt unprepared, and after a full year, I felt ready. As a result I did reasonable on this one, mainly because I was able to solve each problem calmly and confidently.

Yup! :) I don't think I did very well for AMC A ! Saw the videos posted today on Youtube! The last few questions are actually quite manageable! :( Got to buck up for AMC 12B! :) All the best for all those taking part in AMC too!
