Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (SMO)

The Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (SMO) is a national mathematics competition organized annually by the Singapore Mathematical Society. It is one of the largest and most prestigious math contests in Singapore, featuring three levels: Junior, Senior, and Open, tailored to students from lower secondary to junior college and pre-university levels. Students compete individually by solving challenging written problems that test creativity, logical reasoning, and deep mathematical understanding beyond the standard school curriculum. High performers can receive certificates, medals, and prizes, and strong results may help students qualify for further national training and selection for international competitions such as the International Mathematical Olympiad. Participation can significantly strengthen problem-solving skills and enhance academic profiles for university applications.
