e. The test for Senior KG runs in 2 levels. Children who get 60% or more in Level 1 become eligible for Level 2.

1. Ready for Class 1 Maths. Senior KG is the year children add and subtract single digits and start using signs like >, < and =. The Olympiad gives them a reason to practise these with interest.

2. A sense of time and order. Days of the week, months of the year, skip counting in 2s and 5s: a child will use these for years. Puzzling over them in a test helps them stick.

3. Comfort with a computer. Children click their own answers while you guide them. One CREST family from Class 1 wrote that the Olympiad helped their child boost her confidence and get acquainted with computer skills.

4. Recognition for small wins. A Star Medal and Merit Certificate for scores of 60% or more in Level 2, and a Digital Participation Certificate for every child, give little learners something to be proud of.

Senior KG is the year the CREST Maths paper starts to look like real arithmetic. Compared with Junior KG, children now add and subtract 1-digit numbers, use the >, < and = signs, skip count in 2s and 5s, and meet Time for the first time. Shapes also go 3D, with the sphere, cone, cube and cylinder.

The Senior KG Maths Olympiad syllabus has two sections.

Section 1

• Basic Concepts on Comparison: Big-Small, Front-Back, Full-Empty, Heavy-Light, In-Out, More-Less, Right-Left, Same-Different, Tall-Short, Thick-Thin, Top-Bottom
• Numbers: Number names (1-50); Before, After, Between Numbers (1-20); Skip Counting (2 and 5)
• Playing Numbers: 1-digit addition and subtraction; Putting Signs like '>', '<' and '='
• Time: Days of a week, Months in a year
• Shapes: Square, Rectangle, Triangle, Circle, Oval, Sphere, Cone, Cube, Cylinder

Achievers Section: Higher Order Thinking Questions from the Section 1 syllabus.

On exam day there are 25 questions to finish in 45 minutes, with 30 marks in all. Level 1 and Level 2 follow the same format, and there is no negative marking.

The exam dates for CREST Mathematics Olympiad (CMO) for Senior KG for the Academic Year 2026-27 are as given below:

Note: Check Olympiad exam dates for other CREST Olympiads subjects as well.

The exam fee is INR 275 for students studying and enrolling from India. For students studying and residing outside of India, the fee is USD 15.

A Senior KG child learns best in short bursts with you nearby. Aim for 15 to 20 minutes, four or five days a week, starting a few weeks before the exam.

Make the topics part of the day. Count steps in 2s and 5s. Ask "what comes between 14 and 16?" while waiting for the lift. Use buttons for 1-digit sums like 4 + 3 and 9 - 5, then compare the answers with the >, < and = signs. Say the days of the week at breakfast and find the months on a calendar. Hunt for a ball (sphere), an ice-cream cone and a dice (cube) around the house.

Next, sit together with the Maths Olympiad questions for Senior KG from the Senior KG sample papers. Read each question aloud and give your child time to answer. Last year's paper, linked in the table, shows the sort of questions asked before, and the marks distribution explains how the 30 marks are shared between the two sections.

Timing is gentle. With 45 minutes for 25 questions, a child has close to two minutes for each one (about 108 seconds). Do one full sample paper in a single sitting so your child gets used to staying with it, and take the free trial, which looks just like the real exam screen.

More picture practice is in the Senior KG workbook and the other Maths Olympiad books. For more preparation material, visit the Olympiad trainer site of Olympiad Success, which CREST names as its official preparation partner.
