FGH and Euclid Math Contests

Math Contests FAQ

Q:  Which math contests do you run?

A:  We host the COMC, and all of University of Waterloo's CEMC contests (CSIMC, Pascal/Cayley/Fermat, Fryer/Galois/Hypatia, and Euclid).  Students who wish to participate in any other math contests are encouraged to seek an exam centre outside of school.

Q:  I have signed the Google form. Does it mean I am registered?

A:  No.  A registration fee must be received BEFORE the due date (and time) to confirm your spot.  We DO email payment reminders if we notice you have not brought in the payment near the due date. So make sure you CHECK YOUR @YCDSBK12.CA INBOX regularly!!!

Q:  I missed the payment due date, but CMS or Waterloo's website shows a different registration deadline.  That means my teacher can still register me, right?

A:  We are unable to accept registrants after the St. Robert deadline due to the high volume of sign-ups.  After we receive your forms and payments, the contest manager actually needs sufficient time to double- check (sometimes triple!!) the incoming registrations.  When we see conflicting information (e.g., different contests indicated on G-form vs. paper form, or ineligible grade levels), we need time to email the students. 

Q:  How do I prepare for math contests?

A:  Math Club runs contest preparation sessions throughout the semester.  You can also find sample contests here.
