i) International Junior Math Olympiad (IJMO)
The International Junior Math Olympiad (IJMO) is an international Math competition held annually in various Asian countries. The IJMO is organized by SIMCC in collaboration with the National Math Societies of Asian countries to identify and nurture potential young Math talent in each SIMCC participating country.
To be eligible to participate in the IJMO, each year only SASMO and AMO Gold and Silver Award winners from each country are selected to represent their country.
Aim
IJMO aims to provide students with an Asian platform to interact and compete with worthy opponents. The IJMO is the ideal platform for all students to showcase their Mathematical potential and talent on the international Mathematics competition stage!
IJMO questions are carefully designed to develop each student's higher level conceptual understanding and reasoning skills. This effectively extends each student's potential beyond grade level, enabling them to better apply their advanced logical and analytical skills to solve the challenging problems of the Mathematical Olympiad.
Exam structure
Section A: Each of the questions from 1 to 10 is worth 2 points.
Section B: Each of the questions from 11 to 20 is worth 3 points.
Section C: Each of the questions from 21 to 30 is worth 5 points.
