This IMO is for which group of students? (how old are they?)
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the most prestigious and grandiose annual Maths competition among high school students (up to JC2). It is also the oldest one among the international scientific Olympiads ā the first IMO was held in Romania in 1959, this year it is held at Kazakhstan. All the scientific olympiads (IMO, International Physics Olympiad IPhO, International Chemistry Olympiad IChO and International Biology Olympiad IBO) are held in July each year. IPhO, IChO and IBO will be held at the later part of July but typically all results will be announced by MOE by the end of July. Winners of these International olympiads are sought after by top universities all over the world.
Team Singapore and their ages (from 14 years old to 18 years old; Lim Jeck from NUS High is the youngest, he also participated in last year's IMO held in Germany when he was 13):

First they will have to be selected to join the National Team Training, which is via the SMO (Open). Then after some tribulations will the 6 be selected to represent Singapore at IMO.what is the selection criteria to participate in the IMO ?

As for SMO, by right every maths teacher will notify the class and any student interested can sign up. However there are certain special instances that will result in an individual not being signed up by the school. In any case SMO is open to the public, anyone can sign up as long as they are not overaged, so we see some p6 students taking part in smo junior. One can do walk-in registration at his /her own school on the actual day (if he/she missed the sign up deadline) or otherwise at NUS itself (its like a general testing centre). -

perhaps some GEPers are \"gifted\" in English, and might not be so smart in maths...
