This article describes the selection process, by country, for entrance into the International Mathematical Olympiad. The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual mathematics olympiad for students younger than 2. Each year, participating countries send at most 6 students. The selection process varies between countries, but typically involves several rounds of competition, each progressively more difficult, after which the number of candidates is repeatedly reduced until the final 6 are chosen. Many countries also run training events for IMO potentials, with the aim of improving performance as well as assisting with team selection. IMO Selection process by country. All students that took and passed the National Finals (fifth and last round of the competition) exams, usually held in November; and were born before July 1 2. IMO, usually in May. From the results of that tests, six titular students and a number of substitutes are selected to represent Argentina at the International Mathematical Olympiad. Australia. It is composed of two four- hour papers held over two consecutive days. There are four questions in each exam for a total of eight questions. Entry is by invitation only with approximately 1. A month after the AMO, the Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad is held (APMO) and the top 2. AMO are invited to sit the exam. It is a four and a half hour exam with five questions. The top 1. 2 students from the AMO and APMO (along with another 1. Sydney in the April school holidays. During this camp, two four- and- a- half hour selection exams are held, each with four questions. The top six candidates along with a reserve are then announced as part of the team based on their results in the four exams. In 2. 01. 1, there were three selection exams, each with three questions in four- and- a- half hours to better simulate the conditions of the IMO. Bangladesh. There are three levels of selection in Bangladesh. In first two levels the students participate in four academic categories: primary, junior, secondary and higher secondary. Divisional: Currently(2. Olympiad. The number of divisions may increase later. Except Dhaka division, roughly 1. Olympiads and 6. 0 are selected for the next level. In Dhaka division, where number of students are more than the others, 1. All problems in the divisional test are . The students need not to write down the solution, only the answer is necessary. The test is usually one hour long. National: The national Olympiad is 3- 4 our test depending on the category. In this test the students must write down the solutions of the problems. Some of the winners from junior, secondary and higher secondary categories of this level are selected for the next level. The camps: More than one camps are arranged to select students for IMO. The selection process in the camps are not so straight forward as it is in the Olympiads. The students in the camps are closely monitored by the previous campers and coaches and four to six students are selected for IMO. The Brazilian participants are selected in a two phase process: 1st. The contestants that are awarded medals or honorable mentions in the Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad (OBM) (Olimp. The contestants take a series of tests, which have IMO- like level, and the top students are invited to join the Brazilian team that goes to IMO. Belgium. The Dutch- speaking community selects three participants during the Vlaamse Wiskunde Olympiade. The French- speaking community selects their three participants through the Olympiade Math. Should they score high enough in the COMC(normally 7. Canadian Mathematics Olympiad (CMO), Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad (APMO), and unofficially write the USAMO. The students with the top scores (conditions permitting) will make the Canadian team and travel to the location of the IMO in that year. Although the team is made up of students from all over Canada, Toronto and its suburbs have produced the most people for the team due to its high population density. The Canadian Mathematical Society is the organization which selects team leaders and members for the IMO team. In mainland China, high school students have the annual National Highschool Mathematics Competitions, held on the second Sunday of October. A few competitors of each province with best scores, usually the top 3 to 5, will be invited to participate in the China Mathematics Olympiads. Approximately the top 2. CMO will have a training campus; and then, the 6 students with top scores will form the Chinese team. China has been very successful in recent years at the IMO. Colombia. The process begins with the regional competitions which are held in October and November. The best students of these competitions are invited to the January Training Session. In early March the National Competition or Olimpiada Colombiana de Matem. It consists of a sequence of four examinations: the classificatoria, the selectiva, the semifinal and the ronda final. The latter contains a (prior) training session and then two days of IMO- style papers. Every Colombian high school student can take part in the first . The three best students of the three different high school levels of the final round examination are the winners of the Colombian Math Olympiad. Although in principle students of the lower levels may be selected to go to the IMO, it generally takes many years before they can compete with students of the highest level or nivel superior. After the National Competition the twenty best students of each level are invited to the June Training Session where students undergo the IMO selection process. In Cuba the selection process consists (depending on regional conditions of availability of resources, participants and organizers) six levels. Competitions are held to select the best candidates from each school, then from each municipality, then from each province who then are allowed to take part in the National Competition (Concurso Nacional in Spanish). The gold and silver medals (around 2. International competitions. Thirteen of these are selected to form the National Pre- Selection that trains for up to three months taking also exams out of which the best 6 are selected to form the National team. In a number of years the lack of financial support has allowed only the first member of the team to actually travel and compete in the International mathematical Olympiad. During this procedure 3. Four Team Selection Tests are held to determine who will be the six member of national team for IMOCzech Republic. Each day they solve a set of 3- 4 problems, taken mainly from the past national olympiads of various countries. On the last day they have to find the answers (this time in form of a number) to rather large set of shorter problems under significant time- pressure. After that the team is selected and before the actual IMO, it competes in traditional Czech- Slovak- Polish Mathematical Contest where the participants can practise their skill under almost identical conditions to IMO. Denmark. The top 2. The Association Animath, and more precisely the Olympiade Fran. Students who succeed at a preselection test can get from Animath a year- long training, after which the team is selected by an IMO- like test. Germany. Students successful in any of these competitions (e. Around 6. 0 students are selected to receive further training, after three phases of which six students will be selected as the Hong Kong team members, and six will be selected as reserve members. The further training is also known as phase four training. The Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (or INMO) is held every year. This is an invitational exam, and only students who qualify the Regional Mathematics Olympiad (or RMO) are invited to appear for it. Students qualifying the INMO get to attend the IMO Training Camp at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, where further selection tests are used to identify the top six students who will represent the country. The students are also trained by some of the top mathematicians of India. The camp usually runs throughout the month of May. There are two batches of students in the camp, the seniors and juniors. If a student has come to the camp for the first time, he/she is a junior. There can be atmost 6 juniors from class 1. For those who have been to the camp at least once, the INMO is not necessarily required, and they are selected based on their performance in certain postal problem sets. Indonesia. About 1. National Mathematical Olympiad, which is held in August or September. About thirty students are chosen to get into the first training camp, which is held at October through November. About half of them will go to second training camp and participate in the Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad. At the end, six students are selected to represent the country. The selection depends on the results of regular tests held every week in every training camp, IMO simulation test and APMO. Ireland. The Ir. MO is held simultaneously in May in each of these universities. The test consists of two three- hour papers, each containing five questions, run on the same day. The top six students are selected for the national team. In Italy, the Mathematical Olympiad is held every year; the full selection process is made up of four stages: the so- called Archimedean games, held as a multiple- choice test in all participating high schools in Novemberthe regional stage, held as a mixed test (multiple choice, numerical answers and proof- writing) in ca. Februarythe national stage, held in Cesenatico at the beginning of May, composed of six problems requiring a full proofthe team selection test, held in Pisa at the end of May after a five- day stage, composed of two sessions each containing three problems requiring a full proof.
