Welcome to the Junior Mathematics Competition!
This year the competition will be held in two parts – the first being a multiple-choice and short answer exam sat entirely online, while the second part will be a paper exam limited to the top 15 percent of participants in the first part.
The first part of the competition will be sat from Monday April 4 to Friday April 8 inclusive, while the second part will be held on Wednesday May 11.
2022 is the 37th year of this highly successful Competition.
This mathematics competition is for students in years 9 to 11 (forms 3 to 5), although younger students may also take part. Every student throughout New Zealand sits the competition on exactly the same days, usually two Wednesdays in April in May (one for each part).
The competition lasts for 50 minutes per part (so one hour, 40 minutes in total). The emphasis is on problem solving, so expect surprises!
Mathematical skills are important, but so is careful reading. Students who read the questions carefully and work out exactly what is being asked generally do better than those who jump in and write down the first thing that springs to mind.
Although many of the same questions are asked for each year level, students only compete against students at the same level as themselves. (However students in years 7 or 8 are regarded as being in year 9 for the purposes of the competition.)
