No New Updates from the AMC:

Scores for the MAA AMC are released only to Competition Managers, not to the students directly.

Digital Administration: Official digital competition scores for each competition were released after 8 am ET the following day. Any scores viewed before that time were potentially incomplete or incorrect. Currently displayed scores are accurate and may be shared with students.

Print & Scan Administration: All answer sheets should be uploaded at this time. All scores are preliminary pending manual verification. We will announce your scores as finalized and official within the next few weeks. They should be shared with students at that time.

AIME qualifier thresholds will be announced by mid-December. Competition Managers of qualifiers will receive a separate email with more information at that time.
