Mavericks Complete the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME)

The American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) is a challenging competition offered for those who excelled on the American Mathematics Competitions' AMC 10 and/or AMC 12.

The AIME is a 15-question, 3-hour examination, in which each answer is an integer number between 0 to 999. The questions on the AIME are much more difficult than those on the AMC 10 and AMC 12. Top-scoring participants on the AIME are invited to take the USAMO or USAJMO.

8 out of the 35 students from McNeil that took the AMC 10 or AMC 12 (AMC - American Mathematics Competition) were invited to take the AIME. (American Invitational Mathematics Exam) This competition takes the top 5% to 15% of the students and invites them to sit for a very elite and rigorous 3 hour exam. Using a scoring rubric, top students are then invited to participate in the USAJMO (United States of America Junior Math Olympiad) which then feeds into the International Mathematical Olympiad. We are awaiting final results.

Wow… ConMAVulations to these MAVulous students on earning this prestigious opportunity.
