SASMO
SASMO is open to all Primary 1 to 6, Secondary 1 to 4 students and Junior College 1 to 2 (Grade 1 to
11/12 (JC) students from International schools). The duration of the test is 90 minutes for all grades. Each
level has a differentiated paper and contains 25 questions within 2 sections:
Section A: 15 Multiple Choice Questions (2 points for each correct answer; 0 point for each unanswered
question; deduct 1 point for each wrong answer)
Section B: 10 Non-routine Questions (4 points for each correct answer; no penalty for wrong answers)
Total: 85 points (to avoid negative scores, each student will begin with 15 points)
Math Kangaroo
This is a 90-minute exam. For Grades 5 to 12, there will be 30 questions worth 120 points, and
for Grades 1 to 4, there will be 24 questions worth 96 points. Each question contains five MCQ-
based options.
Individually registered students can only take the online exam, & Schools interested in
participating in the Mathematical Kangaroo Competition can apply through both offline and online
mode.
For participants who registered offline, the contest will be conducted by the designated contact
person at the student’s school.
They will be given an answer sheet (OMR Sheet) to write their response on. They can use a
blank sheet for calculation and, after the exam, it must be handed back to the proctor or
invigilator.
Pre Ecolier-1 and Pre Ecolier-2 students will take the same test paper but will be ranked
separately. Same applies for Ecolier-1 & 2; Benjamin-1 & 2; Cadet- 1&2; Junior-1 & 2 and
Student-1 & 2.
1 point will be deducted for each incorrect answer, and no penalty for skipping a question.
During the exam, pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, and other geometrical instruments are allowed.
Instruments or gadgets like calculators, smart watches, etc. are strictly prohibited.
The first-round perfect scorer will appear in the Final round of competition.
