Junior Maths Olympiad
Everything you need for the Junior Olympiad.
What is the Junior Maths Olympiad?
The Junior Maths Olympiad is a follow-on round to the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge, alongside the Junior Kangaroo.
The paper contains 6 questions worth 10 marks each, and students are awarded marks based mostly on the clarity of their workings as well as their final answers. In 2025 the Junior Olympiad changed to just 6 x 10 mark questions (the old Section A has been removed).
The video here includes information about every UKMT competition, but if you click play it will start at the section about the Junior Challenges.
