The CREST Mathematics Olympiad (CMO) is an international competitive exam held online for students in Classes Prep/KG and 1-10. For students in Classes Prep/KG and 1-2, there will be only one level. There will be 2 levels for students of Classes 3-10. The exam is an objective-type test that the students need to complete in 60 minutes. For students in Classes Prep/KG and 1, the exam will be parent/teacher assisted. The time of exam will be 45 minutes for Prep/KG students.

Please Note: This page will be updated soon

The CREST Olympiad exam focuses on improving students’ conceptual knowledge rather than theoretical knowledge. CREST Olympiad proves to be the best preparation platform for students to prepare for exams like JEE, NEET etc. This article will discuss CMO 2022 in detail.

Exam Highlight

Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme of CMO

The CREST Mathematics Olympiad is held on two levels:

Level 1: The respective school is the venue for students appearing through schools. Those students who are registered as an individual will have to take the exam from home or from an institute having a computer with good internet connectivity.

The Level 1 exam is an objective-type test having a duration of 60 minutes, comprising 35 objective-type questions for Classes 1 to 4 and 50 objective-type questions for Classes 5 to 10.

The exam consists of two sections:

1. Section-1: Practical Mathematics
2. Section-2: Achievers Section

Benefits of CMO

The primary organisation for organising Online Olympiads is CREST Olympiads. Most important competitive examinations, like JEE Mains, BITSAT, NEET, and others, have recently begun to be conducted online. As a result, these examinations assist students in becoming more familiar with the online way of testing. These tests assist students in determining their ability in today’s competitive environment. Students will get a practical understanding of the Olympiads that they would not be able to study in school by taking the CREST Olympiad test.
