Students qualify for the program by scoring highly on the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) or United States of America Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO). Before 2012, the top twelve American scorers from all grades formed the "black" group.
Similarly, the AMC 10 and AMC 12 test mathematics through the 10th and 12th grade curriculum, respectively. [ 2 ] Before the 1999-2000 academic year, the AMC 8 was known as the AJHSME (American Junior High School Mathematics Examination), and the AMC 12 was known as the AHSME (American High School Mathematics Examination).
The American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) is a selective and prestigious 15-question 3-hour test given since 1983 to those who rank in the top 5% on the AMC 12 high school mathematics examination (formerly known as the AHSME), and starting in 2010, those who rank in the top 2.5% on the AMC 10.

I believe that as late as 1998 (and as early as 1991) it was still the case that they drew a cutoff for seniors and a lower cutoff for underclassmen -- and that was the entire process. Also the first few USAMOs just invited the top 100 guys on the AHSME, as the USAMO pre-dates the AIME.
