Test format:
There will be one contest per month beginning in November and ending in March
Contests are taken during the regular school day at the participating school.
Each contest consists of five non-routine problems.
Every problem requires careful mathematical thinking and has a time limit.
Each student, working alone, scores 1 point for each correct answer. Thus, a student may score up to 25 points per year.
Calculators are not permitted
After each contest, results are submitted to matholympiad.org for score keeping. Our records will determine which awards are to be shipped after the last contest.
