Pass years papers on math olympiad :


1. NUSH is for Pri 5 only -NMOS. Their past year papers are available from their book shop but sell out very fast. Call before you go down

2. SMOPS by Hwa Chong for Pri 6 - by far the most well known math olympiad. They used to have past years exams paper, both Round 1 and Asia Pacific Round, published once every two years but they have confirmed ceased publishing them due to copyright abuse. Probably any old stock from their bookshop got mopped up already.

3. RIPWMC for Pri 6 - RI's math olympiad in conjunction with Heymath! Question style quite different from SMOPS. Doing well in SMOPS does not necessarily do well in RIPWMC, and vice versa. I seen some of the top guys for RIPWMC only around the middle of SMOPS platinum ranking only. No past year papers as testing is done on computer.

Don't fret if the past years papers are hard to come by : the various training centres have some of the questions as part of their teaching aid/materials

4. AMC 8 for Pri 5 - past year papers from Math Hub

5. Po Leung Kuk (HK) World Math competition - only the trainer provides some past year papers. Some US universities upload them on their websites. Google for it. This is selection done by HCI & RI. Singapore is the only nation where two teams are allowed.

thanks...verykiasu2010....

So resourceful, Thanks verykiasu2010! and BTW, thanks for the link of HAL given through Rulang's thread.

I am worried about the son's CL compre parts also. usually for CA1, he will lost lots of marks here. :stupid: and for this part,临时抱佛脚 is useless.

WOW for P4, there is compo for CA1. I am happy that mine is still P2.

i have a question here but i need to put on all my full protective gears first anticipating that my brother will release all his arrows....hahaha....


is there such thing as Maths Olympiad past years exam papers in the market? if yes, where to get them?

maybe comfy or verykiasu2010 can help....

For NMOS (NUSH one), you can get it from the NUS High Office.
The other are for P6 and quite chim.
If you want to encourage her interest more, try the ICAS (UNSW one) which starts from P2. But I heard ICAS, do not have too much impact on DSA.

...but CA1 doesn't include compo and oral.

You are mistaken. S6169 mentioned abt Comprehension. There is no Composition for CA1.

IJJ,

Whew…for a minute I got shocked to see compo at CA1.
Already stressed thinking how son can master the comprehension OE to score marks.

I was analysing P2 CA1 Maths Paper for both 2009 and 2010 and noted the differences :-


a) 2009 was 1hr 30m and 2010 was 1hr 45m.
b) 2009 Section C - boxes were given to write down equation and hardly any place left for other workings.
2010 Section C - no more boxes given and given more space for working.

Can I assume that the kids were expected to produce model in the solution in 2010 but not in 2009? Therefore more time was given because of the changes?

Can any P3 parents comment, please.

Thanks.
