CREST Mathematics Olympiad Syllabus

The CREST Mathematics Olympiad is an objective-type test that students need to complete in 60 minutes. For students in Classes Prep/KG and 1, the exam will be parent/teacher assisted. The exam time will be 45 minutes for Prep/KG students. The CREST Olympiad exam focuses on improving students’ conceptual knowledge rather than theoretical knowledge. The CREST Olympiad is the best platform for students to prepare for exams like JEE, NEET, etc.

The CREST Mathematics Olympiad (CMO) is an online test for students in grades Prep/KG to 10. CMO 2022-23 will be a single-level test for students in grades Prep/KG and 1-2. In contrast, CMO will be a two-level test for grades 3 to 10. The CMO Olympiad syllabus for these levels is designed to evaluate students’ higher-order thinking skills as well as their application of mathematics. We will discuss the CMO syllabus in detail.

CMO Advantages

The CREST Olympiad is the organisation in charge of planning online Olympiads. Most significant competitive exams are now being administered online, including JEE Mains, BITSAT, NEET, and others. Consequently, these tests help students become more used to the online assessment format and assess their competitiveness in today’s environment. By completing the CREST Olympiad test, students will gain practical knowledge of the Olympiads that they would not be able to learn in school.
