FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

The Singapore Math Competition (SMC) is an internationally recognized math Olympiad that challenges students in Grades 1 to 12 through advanced problem-solving, logical reasoning and conceptual application. The competition is based on the globally respected Singapore Math curriculum, known for its emphasis on critical thinking and deep understanding. 

Students from Grades 1 to 12 studying under CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, IB, or any State Board are eligible to participate. The exam is open to students across India and internationally. 

The SMC follows a Singapore Math-based syllabus that blends core arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and logical reasoning. It goes beyond regular school textbooks to test students on problem-solving strategies, pattern recognition and real-world applications. Check list here.

Participating in math Olympiads offers several long-term academic and cognitive benefits: 

  • Sharpens critical thinking and problem-solving skills 
  • Builds mathematical confidence and interest in the subject 
  • Strengthens exam performance through exposure to non-routine questions 
  • Improves competitive edge for school and national-level exams 
  • Provides international recognition through awards and rankings

Key differences include: 

  • Singapore Math curriculum vs. traditional Indian syllabi 
  • Greater focus on model-based and visual problem solving 
  • Real-world math applications over rote calculations 
  • Inclusion of global benchmarking, with students competing internationally
