First set up in 1977 by founder George Lenchner (1917–2006), MOEMS became a public competition in 1979. [2] Lenchner, who died after decades in service to the math education community, wrote several books on elementary problem solving used by many MOEMS teachers and students.
The paper in Round 1 comprises 5 multiple-choice questions, each with five options, and 30 short answer questions until 2017. From 2018 onwards, The paper has 20 short answer questions instead. The Junior section is geared towards Lower Secondary students, and topics tested include number theory, combinatorics, geometry, algebra, probability ...
The United States National Chemistry Olympiad (or USNCO) is a contest held by the American Chemical Society (ACS) used to select the four-student team that represents the United States at the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO). Each local ACS section selects 10 students (or more for larger ACS sections) to take the USNCO National Exam.
The paper lasts 3½ hours, and consists of six questions (from 2005), each worth 10 marks. [3] The exam in the 2020-2021 cycle was adjusted to consist of two sections, first section with 4 questions each worth 5 marks (only answers required), and second section with 3 question each worth 10 marks (full solutions required).
The competition consists of 15 questions of increasing difficulty, where each answer is an integer between 0 and 999 inclusive. Thus the competition effectively removes the element of chance afforded by a multiple-choice test while preserving the ease of automated grading; answers are entered onto an OMR sheet, similar to the way grid-in math questions are answered on the SAT.
The logo of the International Mathematical Olympiad. The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a mathematical olympiad for pre-university students, and is the oldest of the International Science Olympiads. [1] It is widely regarded as the most prestigious mathematical competition in the world. The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959 ...
Since 2002, the USAMO has been a six-question, nine-hour mathematical proof competition spread out over two days. (The IMO uses the same format.) On each day, four and a half hours are given for three questions. Each question is graded on a scale from 0 to 7, with a score of 7 representing a proof that is mathematically sound.
From 1974 until 1999, the competition (then known as the American High School Math Examination, or AHSME) had 30 questions and was 90 minutes long, scoring 5 points for correct answers. Originally during this time, 1 point was awarded for leaving an answer blank, however, it was changed in the late 1980s to 2 points.
