AIME Readiness
AIME coaching for students who need depth, precision, and judgment
Pristone Academy helps students prepare for AIME-style work through private, diagnostic-first coaching. The focus is not just harder problems, but better mathematical judgment: choosing an approach, controlling arithmetic, verifying answers, and building depth across advanced algebra, number theory, geometry, and combinatorics.
Premium private coaching, typically structured as multi-session engagements.
AIME readiness work is high-touch and individualized. The diagnostic determines whether the first priority is content depth, precision, problem selection, or verification discipline.
Free readiness check
Check the AMC base before pushing into AIME depth.
The AMC 10 readiness check gives a quick read on recognition, pacing, accuracy, and contest maturity before deeper AIME work.
Who this is for
Students who have qualified for AIME, are close to qualifying, or are training seriously beyond standard AMC 10/12 material. The work is best for students ready to slow down, explain their reasoning, and build accuracy under pressure.
- Students moving from AMC multiple-choice habits into integer-answer work
- Students who can start hard problems but lose points to execution or verification
- Families who want an honest readiness read before committing to intensive prep
- Advanced students building long-term olympiad-style mathematical maturity
What you walk away with
- ✓A clear AIME readiness profile
- ✓A prioritized plan across depth, execution, and verification
- ✓Stronger habits for choosing methods and checking answers
- ✓Parent-facing clarity about what is realistic in the current timeline
Who this is not for
Being upfront about fit saves everyone time — including yours. This program is not a good match if:
- Students looking for shortcuts without sustained practice
- Families expecting promised qualification or score outcomes
How the AIME track works
Readiness diagnostic
We look at how the student handles non-multiple-choice problems, not just whether they have seen the topic before.
Depth modules
Training moves through advanced algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry at the level the student can productively absorb.
Precision protocol
AIME rewards clean execution. Students practice bounding, second-method checks, small-case tests, and answer-format discipline.
Parent report when useful
The backend diagnostic can generate a structured parent summary with strengths, gaps, readiness, and next steps.
