Noetic Learning math contest — United States and Canada (primary schools) Nordic Mathematical Contest (NMC) — the five Nordic countries; North East Asian Mathematics Competition (NEAMC) — North-East Asia; Pan African Mathematics Olympiads (PAMO) South East Asian Mathematics Competition (SEAMC) — South-East Asia
The first selection, usually in November, consist of a multiple-choice exam with 20 problems. One is given 5 points for each correct answer, 1 point for each unanswered problem and 0 point for a wrong answer. Approximately 10% of the competing students are selected for the second selection, which is held in January.
Each participating school may send at most 5 students into the contest. There is one paper, divided into Part A and Part B, with two hours given. Part A is usually made up of 14 - 18 easier questions, carrying one mark each. In Part A, only answers are required.
Hong Kong Mathematics Olympiad (HKMO, Chinese: 香港數學競賽) is a Mathematics Competition held in Hong Kong every year, jointly organized by The Education University of Hong Kong and Education Bureau. At present, more than 250 secondary schools send teams of 4-6 students of or below Form 5 to enter the competition.
A documentary, "Hard Problems: The Road To The World's Toughest Math Contest" was made about the United States 2006 IMO team. [101] A BBC documentary titled Beautiful Young Minds aired July 2007 about the IMO. A BBC fictional film titled X+Y released in September 2014 tells the story of an autistic boy who took part in the Olympiad.
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.
