How do I get better at AIME?
Start mixing AIME problem sets along with your books and other materials. Try to do one timed AIME every week, and make sure that you understand how to solve all the problems. For each problem that you got wrong, do not just read the solution, and don’t even just say that you understood it.
What should I study for Aime?
AIME ranges from Algebra to precalculus, which means only very elite scorers make it. Though the qualifying scores are high, there is indeed a good strategy. Since you get 1.5 points for each question blank, it’s good just to do what you know.
How do you get 10 on AIME?

What are the best math books for Aime and AMC?
Specifically, the Intro series/Volume 1 for the AMC10 and Intermediate Algebra, Intermediate Combo, Precalculus, and Volume 2 for the AMC12. For the AIME, I’d recommend checking out the 1 hundred and something books from Awesome math. To apply theory, one trick is to always practice up.
