Competitions
There will be two math competitions:
- Middle School Math Competition: for students in grade 8 or below
- High School Math Competition: for students in grade 9-12.
The questions will be administered through an online learning/LMS platform, and proctoring will take place via online video.
There will be three administrations of the test, based on geographical location:
– North/Central/South America – 2 pm EDT
– Europe/Africa – 8 am EDT
– Asia/Australia – 9 pm EDT
There will also be an invitational competition on April 2 at 11 AM EDT (time subject to change). Unlike the open tournament, this is the only time at which the exam will be offered. There will be no separate administrations for different time zones.
Format
Open Online Tournament — March 26, 2022
The exam will last one hour, and will consist of 20 questions, approximately 2-3 of which will be multiple choice, and the rest which will require a numerical answer. Difficulty level will be approximately AMC 8-10 for the middle school competition, and AMC 10-12 for the high school competition.
Each question is worth 1 point for a correct answer. There is no penalty for incorrect answers, or partial credit for leaving a question blank.
The top 10 finishers* from each of the six time zone/division combinations will advance to the invitational competition on April 2nd!! Cutoff scores and statistics will be posted on this page following the contest. (Cutoff scores are inclusive; if you earn exactly the cutoff or above, you will qualify to take the invitational competition. For example, if the cutoff is 15/20, and you earn exactly 15/20, you will qualify.)
* This is a maximum number of invited competitors, and is subject to change depending on final enrollment numbers.
Invitational Math Tournament — April 2, 2022
There will be two phases: the Qualifying Round, and the Live Round for the top 5 students in each division from the first phase.
Qualifying Round
The contest paper will consist of 10 questions, each requiring a numerical answer, to be completed in 1 hour. Each question will be worth 1 point for a correct answer, with no penalty for incorrect answers or partial credit for leaving questions blank.
Live Round
The top (up to) 5 finishers on both of the middle school and high school contests will advance to the Live Round, in which they will be presented with 3 proof-based questions to be answered orally on the spot. Each question will be scored based on the overall correctness of the presentation, not just the final answer.
This contest will decide your final rank for awards purposes, provided you qualify. For example, if you place 10th in the open contest, then first in the invitational contest, you will place first overall and receive the $250 gift card/50% off CyberMath summer camps.
Zoom links
Both middle and high school participants should enter the same Zoom room; contest staff will direct you to the appropriate Moodle link to take the contest. Please ensure that your camera is turned on and your microphone is turned off. Please show up at least 10-15 minutes before the scheduled time (up to 30 minutes before).
