Hmm depends on your son. Did he do Olympiad stuffs before? It will be super difficult to get a platinum. His foundation need to be very strong.
Did his school ask him to participate in the competition?
But if he is really keen in Maths or if he is chosen by school to participate, I don't really see any harm to sign him up.

Cheers :celebrate:

Can a P5-6 child take the Math Olympiad tests if he or she is not selected to represent the school? Can he take the training and test outside school? Will the results still be counted for DSA?

For NMOS and SMOPS, based on last year, the participants must register through school.

Thanks, dazzlego.

So, we have to wait for the school to choose the pupils to participate in the competitions?
Which competitions can we register on our own, without the school?

For competitions like SMOPS and NMOS, you must register through the school.

You may want to try American Mathematical Competition (AMC). There are AMC 8 (for those Grade 8 & below), AMC 10 & AMC 12 for Grade 9 & above. You may register through school or on you own. My DS just participated AMC 8 yesterday which I had registered on my own.

Anyone took part in AMC 8 yesterday ? How do you find the paper ? Easy or difficult ?
