Keep in mind that those who don’t qualify the AMC do less than

Focus on Easy Questions Don’t waste time on solving the tough questions. Instead, concentrate on relatively the easy one. By this way, you will have more time work on the remainder. For example, If your goal is to score 100 to qualify for the AIME, it’s advisable to focus on the first 20 questions and answer them so that you will do at least 80% right answers.

So, be careful while ticking the answer. Guess and Check On a multiple-choice test, do remember that the correct answer is right before your eyes. If you’re not able to think about a better way to find out the correct answer or solve the problem, it could be good to go for ‘guess and check.’ For this, try each answer till you find the correct one. There is no penalty for making a guess. Ensure you have attempted every question. Improve Your Odds Deciding to guess on a question can help you improve your odds of getting the correct answer.

  4. This improves your odds as you eliminate the wrong answer choices first. Keep Working Never stop yourself from working the problem till you get an answer. Once you get one of the answers from the choice, do it again to check if it is indeed the correct answer. Weigh the Questions Here weight means making sure whether the entire question has the same levels of difficulty. In that case, don’t waste your time in finding the easiest one. You could make a careless and costly mistake. Follow the tricks above in the examination hall.
