Mathverse Olympiad
Math and science, in one exam
An olympiad for every student. Each student in grades 2–11 takes the exam at their own grade level, and the questions go from easy to hard. Every participant receives a digital certificate and a skills report.
Exam format
- Math and science questions are in the same exam.Questions come from AMS Foundation; original Mathverse questions are used only with AMS Foundation’s approval. Each grade has its own questions.
- All questions are multiple choice.Answers are chosen from the options; questions may include formulas and figures.
- Online exam: 15 December 2026 – 28 February 2027, from home.Taken on a computer or tablet in a web browser, at any time during this window.
- Each student is compared only with students in the same grade.
Rules
- The student works alone; paper and pencil are allowed, calculators are not.
- Every answer is saved as soon as it is selected. If the connection drops, the student continues where they left off with all saved answers. The timer runs on our server and does not pause during the interruption.
- Results are shared only with the parent. No public rankings are published.
