In 2005, UKMT changed the system and added an extra easier question meaning the median is now raised. In 2008, 23 students scored more than 40/60 [6] and around 50 got over 30/60. In addition to the British students, until 2018, there was a history of about 20 students from New Zealand being invited to take part. [7]
Round 1 of the Olympiad is a three-and-a-half hour examination including six more difficult, long answer questions, which serve to test entrants' problem-solving skills. As of 2005, a more accessible first question was added to the paper; before this, it only consisted of 5 questions.
The British Mathematical Olympiad Subtrust (BMOS) is a section of the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust which currently runs the British Mathematical Olympiad as well as the UK Mathematical Olympiad for Girls, [1] several training camps throughout the year such as a winter camp in Hungary, an Easter camp at Trinity College, Cambridge, and other training and selection of the International ...
The first national mathematics competition was the National Mathematics Contest, established in 1961 by F. R. Watson. [11] This was run by the Mathematical Association from 1975 until its adoption by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) in 1996 and has in recent years been known as the Senior Mathematical Challenge.
In Canada, math contest clubs for elementary school children teach "questions typical of the Math Kangaroo contest", starting with those with a visual component and helping to develop logic and spatial reasoning. [9] Students in Pakistan took part for the first time in 2005, the numbers increasing each year since. [10]

Each question is worth 20 marks, and so the maximum a candidate can score is 120. For examinations up to and including the 2018 papers, the specification for STEP 1 and STEP 2 was based on Mathematics A Level content while the syllabus for STEP 3 was based on Further Mathematics A Level. The questions on STEP 2 and 3 were about the same difficulty.
In 2010, a Physics exam was added, therefore the name changed to Romanian Masters in Mathematics and Sciences (RMMS). At the beginning, the competition structure had been 4 problems in 5 hours, but from 2010 onwards, it was changed to 6 problems over 2 days, with 4.5 hours of exam each day.
