vlim:

just wondering do kids need to attain mo training course before taking part in mo competition? Please advise..thks

short answer : yes, need to

[CoffeeCat]

Depends on your or your kids’ motivation. If it’s just for fun then nope but if you are hoping for better performance then yes. The competition is stiffer nowadays as compared to in the past since many children are "motivated" and undergo mo training.

Thanks to VeryKaisu2010 and CoffeeCat.


NUS too far, so I’ve gotten from this enrichment centre called Maths Oasis when visiting with a friend. By the way, anyone heard of their Maths Olmpiad courses - are they good? Any recommended ones from any experienced parents / kids?

Thanks in advance.

Currently the most notables ones are mathoasis, mathshub, learning interactive and to a certain extent, global education. This is what I gathered from kiasuparents, their websites and an industry insider.

Any idea whether there is an age restriction for the competion? Can P4/5 participate?

Which competitions?
For SMOPS, they have recently limited to p6 only.
NMOS is pitched at p5 level, off limit to p6, p4 are allowed to take part.
