AIME Past Papers

The AIME is the invitational stage that follows the AMC 10/12: 15 questions, 3 hours, integer answers from 000 to 999. This library brings together authentic AIME papers with official answer keys and a full set of preparation resources, so qualifying students can practise under real conditions and build toward the USA(J)MO.

Recommended AIME preparation textbooks

1. Combinatorics

AoPS Volume 1
Provides a strong overview of core AIME concepts, though not fully comprehensive.

Intermediate Counting & Probability (AoPS)
An advanced and essential text for mastering combinatorics at the AIME level.

2. Algebra

Intermediate Algebra (AoPS)
An excellent resource covering most algebraic concepts required for AIME.

Precalculus (AoPS)
Covers trigonometry, complex numbers, vectors, and matrices.
Chapters 1–8 are most relevant for AIME preparation.

3. Number Theory

UKMT Number Theory
Since AoPS does not offer an intermediate-level number theory book, this text is one of the best alternatives.

  • Ideal for students with early olympiad exposure
  • Covers modular arithmetic, sequences, Diophantine equations, and more
  • Highly suitable for AIME-level number theory

4. Geometry

UKMT Geometry

Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads
An advanced olympiad-level geometry book, best suited for students aiming to tackle AIME Problems 11–15.

AIME topic-based question bank

The AIME categorized question bank is a highly targeted preparation resource. It systematically organizes high-frequency AIME problem types into the following core areas:

  • Algebra
  • Geometry
  • Number Theory
  • Counting and Probability

Each section includes carefully selected classic problems, complete answers, and detailed solution explanations to help students:

  • Identify common problem patterns
  • Master key techniques
  • Diagnose and close knowledge gaps

Key advantages

  • Focused training by topic
  • Problems derived from past AIME exams
  • Efficient skill-building and accuracy improvement

AIME progressive difficulty problem set (with solutions)

This graded problem set is designed with gradually increasing difficulty, allowing students to:

  • Build confidence with foundational problems
  • Transition smoothly to advanced challenges
  • Strengthen problem-solving endurance

Three essential AIME reading books

Lecture Notes on Mathematical Olympiad Courses
Covers all major olympiad areas, including algebra, geometry, and combinatorics.
