On Pre-Regional Mathematics Olympiad (PRMO)

The Pre-Regional Mathematics Olympiad (PRMO) is a nation wide 3 hour examination that will be held on the August 11, 2019 from 10 am to 1 pm.

Strangely, the examination is the same for Class 9, 10, 11 and 12. So, all the senior school students are eligible and of course the 9th and 10th will find it tougher than the 11th and 12th students. However, you can appear for the examination every year. 

This is an Optional examination for all of you but we would like it very much if many of our students choose to appear for the examination. 

The examination is very challenging but also a very enjoyable experience. Like many challenging activities eg, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, rappelling, singing, dancing, acting,  we get good  as we practice regularly and we will definitely find it daunting the first couple of times. Hopefully, we will be able to help you to get over this "short daunting" phase if it persists till you reach school !! :). We will all get really good if we attempt the examination multiple times. 

So, we would like 
a) to encourage you to take the examination, give you reasons why you will benefit from this activity,
b) give you information about the examination, 
c) offer some tips (again optional !!! :))  for a systematic preparation  and 
d) also  plan some preparatory worksheets  for you when you reach the school so that you get more familiar with the expectations of the examination.


All of the above is explained in this write-up with links to many wonderful resources on the web.
Download 

The idea is that you will enjoy working at home in the time left and also plan for the examination when you reach school.
So, lets all get into Sherlock Holmes mode and get into some serious problem solving !!! 
We will take care of the PRMO registration after you reach school on June 14th.

Lastly, do not forget that we want it to be a fun and learning experience and we will definitely plan a picnic on examination day (remember last term :) :)).
