Intermediate Maths Challenge Grade Boundaries

The Intermediate Maths Challenge is a maths competition organised by the UKMT, usually sat by students in Years 9-11 (England and Wales), S2-S4 (Scotland) or Years 10-12 (Northern Ireland), though younger students may also enter.

Below you can find a table with the grade boundaries for past papers for the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge. But first let me show you some online courses (including loads of free content) that I’ve made specifically to help you prepare for this competition and to master the end of GCSE and transition to A-level maths.

Past papers, solutions and further information can be found at https://www.ukmt.org.uk/

The exact grade boundaries for the IMC vary from year to year, but 40% of participants receive certificates in the ratio of 1:2:3 Gold : Silver : Bronze . This means that roughly 7% of entrants overall receive Gold, 13% Silver and 20% Bronze. Some students are also invited to take part in the Kangaroo and Olympiad follow on rounds – the grade boundaries for these depend on which year group the student is in.

The Grey and Pink Kangaroo, and the Cayley, Hamilton and Maclaurin Olympiads are follow on rounds to the Intermediate Maths Challenge. For more information and a table including all past qualification boundaries see the page here. There’s also a YouTube video summarising and discussing all of this information here:
