      The cut-off for Gold is 11 and R2 is 8, the paper is much tougher than other years.


      I am curious, what is highest score in SMO Junior 2009? what is minimum score for top 10?

        This year's R2 paper is easy, many students did quite well overall. I happen to know the scores of some students in the top 10. I think the minimum score for top 10 is around 45-46, and there are at least 3 students who scored >65 (note: max score is 85).

          Muhammad Haikal Bin Abdullah Zain of NUSH is among the 10 top ten pupils for SMO Junior 2009.


          His brother, Muhammad Farhan Bin Abdullah Zain(P5) from Rosyth Primary, sat as an independent candidate and made it into Special Round for SMO Junior this year.
          Statistically (looking at past and present winners in the various Maths competitions), there are few Malay students who are among the top in Maths. I am very happy for their parents. Well done Haikal & Farhan!!

            I am sure NUSH is 1st and HCI is 2nd, and have assumed that RI is 3rd. It is possible that RI gets 2nd too. Is RI's total for top 3 scorers (count round 1 only) 54? If it is, then RI is 2nd too. Yeah, cut-off for Gold is only 12 (last year's cut-off was 23)! And to get into 2nd round, one just need to score >= 8/35!! This year's SMO Junior is much, much harder than all the previous years. Does your son know how many marks the top scorer in RI got for round 1+2 in SMO(J)?


            They only count round 1 score for ranking of schools? What about round 2 score?

            Refer to: http://sms.math.nus.edu.sg/Competitions/SMO2009.aspx#Junior
            base on round 1 result and the list of top 10, there only 1 R1 student and the next one comes in 15th position. But among top 10 there were more NUSH students and followed by HCI. With this, is it still possible for RI to be 2nd in junior section?

              Unlikely but still possible. Because the top 10's score are not known.
              And since we are just looking at round 1 score, RI students may have scored much better in round 1 than in round 2.

              Also, their top scorer may score significantly higher marks than the other HCI students in round 1.

                    How is it possible to have both HCI & RI same position when HCI top two (2nd & 6th) are ahead of RI top position (9th). Also HCI 3rd position is also ahead of RI 2nd position. HCI should be 2nd and RI 3rd if you observe the position of their top 3 .

                      Team positions are based on Round 1 scores only, whereas Individual positions are based on Round 1 + Round 2 scores. RI had done equally well with HCI in Round 1, but did not do as well in Round 2.
