NZMO
The New Zealand Mathematical Olympiad (NZMO) consists of two rounds:
Round One (the NZMO1): A take home exam (a set of 8 problems), which lasts approximately 2 weeks, starting in June. Participation in the NZMO1 is open to any New Zealand student. More detailed instructions and general information can be found in the regulations.
There is no need to pre-register for the NZMO1. To participate simply download the problems from this website once they are released and submit your solutions and contact details through the online form before the deadline.
Round Two (the NZMO2): A three hour exam in August or September. Participation in the NZMO2 is by invitation only, based on the results of the NZMO1.
- January NZMOC Training Camp, to be held in January
- Female and Non-Binary Camp, to be held in April
Awards for the NZMO (gold/silver/bronze/honourable mention) will be made based on the results of the NZMO2. Scores will not be announced for either round. Participants in the NZMO1 will only receive an indication of whether they have been invited to participate in the NZMO2; participants in the NZMO2 will just be told the level of their award, if any.
In addition, the results of both rounds of the NZMO will be used to select about 25 students to participate the following year in:
Please refer to the regulations to see who is eligible for NZMOC training camp selection. The training camp is the first step in the selection process to choose the team of six students to represent New Zealand at the International Mathematical Olympiad, (IMO). Only students who attend this camp are eligible for team selection.
