AIME Boot Camp
$420.00
The AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) is an invitational competition organized by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), and the key step between the AMC 10/12 and the USAMO/USAJMO. Only students who reach the qualifying cutoff in the AMC 10/12 are invited to take part, and AIME scores carry significant weight in U.S. college applications. This boot camp is designed for students who have qualified for the 2027 AIME, providing systematic strengthening and sprint training in the weeks before the competition.
Course Schedule
- Class Dates: December 5, 2026 – January 30, 2027, 7 sessions in total
- Class Time: Saturdays 6:00-7:30 PM Eastern Time (3:00-4:30 PM Pacific Time), 1.5 hours per session
- Training: Intensive past-exam practice + problem-solving strategies + timed mock training
- Course Fee: $420
Competition Dates
- 2027 AIME Competition Dates: February 5 and February 6, 2027 (AIME I / AIME II; final arrangements are subject to the official MAA announcement)
- Eligibility: By invitation based on AMC 10/12 scores; the MAA will send the invitation to the email address the student has on record
Competition Details
- Questions: 15 problems, each answer an integer between 0 and 999
- Content: Advanced competition mathematics covering algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and probability, at a level above the AMC 10/12
- Advancement: AIME scores are combined with AMC scores to qualify for the USAMO / USAJMO (USA Mathematical Olympiads)
Course Features
- Past-Exam Driven: Built around real AIME problems from previous years, organized by topic across algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics
- Strategy Training: Focused work on estimation, verification, problem selection, and time allocation for integer-answer problems
- Timed Practice: Timed training at the real competition pace, so students adapt to its intensity in advance
- Error Review: Problem-by-problem review of common mistakes to close knowledge gaps
Who Should Enroll
- Students who reached the AIME qualifying cutoff in the 2026-2027 AMC 10/12
- Students aiming for a high AIME score and qualification for the USAMO / USAJMO
Past Results
- 2025: 18 students qualified for the AIME; 5 students qualified for USAMO/USAJMO
- 2024: 3 students qualified for the AIME; 2 students qualified for USAMO/USAJMO
- 2023: 2 students qualified for the AIME; 1 student qualified for USAMO/USAJMO
This is an AIME preparation course; the course fee does not include AIME competition registration (the AIME is by invitation only, and the MAA invites qualified students directly). Interested parents are welcome to contact Schola customer service for more details.
The AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) is the invitational round that follows the AMC 10/12 — only students who reach the qualifying cutoff in the AMC 10/12 may take part. With a lower qualifying cutoff in 2026, noticeably more students have qualified this year. This boot camp is designed for students who have qualified for the AIME: through intensive practice with past exams, problem-solving strategies, and timed training, it helps students achieve a stronger result at the February 2027 AIME.
Training Topics
- Algebra: Equations and inequalities, functions, polynomials, sequences and series
- Geometry: Plane geometry, analytic geometry, trigonometry, and complex numbers
- Number Theory: Divisibility and congruences, digit problems, Diophantine equations
- Combinatorics and Probability: Counting principles, probability, recursion, and introductory graph theory
Course Goals
- Become familiar with AIME problem types and style, and build advanced competition problem-solving skills
- Master solving strategies and verification methods for integer-answer problems
- Improve speed and accuracy under timed conditions
- Build a solid foundation for qualifying for the USAMO / USAJMO
