I believe P5 and P6 still under junior category; will need to know the number of participants on the percentile to qualify for dist/credit/etc to better interpret the performance.

P6 is under open category.
Yah, hard to know without info on the actual number of participants. DS (P6) managed 95.87 percentile, but under cert of credit ie. 51-120. So I believe need to be at least 96-97% to get into top 50.

Since P5 & P6 under different categories, are they being graded together? So the top 50 includes both P5 and P6 and they take the same paper?

Contest format
There will be two categories in the contest, the Junior Category and the Open Category.
The Junior Category will be open to all Primary 1 – 5 pupils.
The Open Category will be open to all Primary 6 pupils.
There is no age limit for either category of pupils.

Round 1 is for all participants. It will be a 60 minutes online test, consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions. Participants will take the test from their respective primary schools.

Round 2 is only for the top 50 participants from each of the Junior and Open categories succeeding from Round 1. It will be a 60 minutes written paper, consisting of 15 open ended questions. Participants from Singapore schools will take this test in Raffles Institution.

My dc got almost 98 but still cert of credit only. If 5000 or more participants, one needs to be in the 99 percentile to go to round 2. Anyone managed to get into round 2 can provide some clues about the percentile needed to qualify for round 2?

I did some calculation: if 95.87 being ranked 120th, then there were 2906 pupils attended the exam. If someone's percentile is 98.21, he will get in the top 52 (P6 Cohort), so 98% is at least ranked 58th, so near yet so far...

Has any of your children attended the Primary Maths Olympaid Programme organised by the Singapore Mathematical Society? This prog is usually held during the June holidays? Will this one-week programme help to reinforce concepts to prepared kids for the coming NMOS competiton? Feedback needed.
