British Mathematical Olympiad(BMO)
Founded by the largest UK organization——UKMT
A difficult test for high school students to select UK Olympiad team
Investigated comprehensive mathematics academic strength
Top students from all over the world competed together
BMO Round 1 Date:Nov. 22, 2024 (210 mins)
BMO Round 2 Date:Jan. 24, 2025 (210 mins)
Introduction
BMO has two rounds: BMO Round 1 and BMO Round 2. Only the top 10% in BMO Round 1 can participate in Round 2. UKMT will select the top UK students from Round 2 to take part in the UK National Mathematical Olympiad camp and select the national team. Different from the multiple choice questions of the SMC, BMO is mainly a proof question, which requires students to specify the steps and process of solving the problem, and to investigate students' comprehensive mathematical academic strength in depth. In the UK, only students with excellent SMC results are eligible to participate in BMO Round 1. In China, Chinese students can directly register for BMO Round1.
