World Math Olympiad Rules
- Every student who intends to participate in the exam must have a valid identification card such as a passport or ID.
- Before and during the exam, your surroundings will be checked by your laptop and mobile camera.
- Having a calculator during the exam is considered a violation and you will be automatically removed from the exam.
- Taking pictures or writing test questions is considered a violation and will cause you to be removed from the Olympiad.
- Each participant in the Mathematical Olympiad must be alone in a closed room. If someone is with you, it will be considered a violation.
- Using headphones, mobile phones or any radio device during the exam is considered a violation.
- The duration of the International Mathematical Olympiad is one hour. If you don’t answer the questions in the allotted time, you will lose the points for that question.
- The questions in the math Olympiad are presented in multiple choice.
- If two or more people get the same score in the test, the first person will be determined based on the time of completing the questions.
- Note: If by luck these two people who have scored the same points and even finished the Olympiad in the same time, both of them will win jointly and the prize will be divided between these two people.
- The prize for the first to third place will be deposited into their account within 15 days after the results and coordination with the winners have been determined, and a receipt will be sent to them via email. Be careful that the prize amount is only deposited into the account in the person’s own name.
- Note: For grade 1 to 3 Olympiad, if the students do not have a bank account, the prize will be deposited into the parent’s account after confirming the identity of one of the parents.
- A certificate and a letter of recommendation that includes explanations about the test and its difficulty level will be sent to all participants after the test.
- Each certificate issued by us contains a unique barcode that can be queried and checked on our website.
- Because Hiba Math Olympiad is held internationally and there is a time difference between countries, the result of the test will be announced on our website 72 hours after it is held. Also, the results of the Olympiad will be sent to the participants via email.

I think the geometry questions were the hardest part this year! Anyone else agree?

I joined the Math Olympiad in January 2025 and it was an amazing international experience. I really hope the upcoming Math Olympiad 2026 keeps the same level of quality and fairness. I’m from Spain, and I was wondering — are the math questions standardized for all countries, or do they vary slightly depending on region? I’d love to recommend it to my students if everything is consistent worldwide.
Ethan Brown –
I’m really looking forward to joining the Math Olympiad 2026. I didn’t participate last year, but a few of my friends did and they said it was one of the best online math competitions out there. I just want to make sure — will there be a technical support team available during the exam in case of internet issues or system errors? That would make many participants feel more secure.
Sara Johnson –
I’m a math teacher in Texas, and I’m planning to register 15 of my students for the next Math Olympiad. Is there any group or classroom discount for teachers who enroll multiple students? It would be fantastic to encourage more participation if schools get a small incentive or free certificates.
Ivan Petrov –
Will the 2026 Math Olympiad follow the same online format? The 2025 edition was impressive.
Mark Jensen –
$5000 for first place is amazing! That’s a huge motivation for students
George Patel –
I’m glad it’s online. Saves us a lot of travel and stress
Ahmed Khalil –
Can someone explain how the prize distribution works? I heard the first prize is $5000.
Jonathan Lee –
Are there any tips or sample papers to help us prepare for this international math olympiad?
Li Wei –
Does anyone know if the winners’ names will be announced publicly on the official site?
Diego Romero –
Are practice questions from the 2025 Olympiad going to be published for future students?
Fatima Al Salem –
I’m planning to register my son for the next round. Is there a special section for parents?
David Lee –
Last year I participated in the Math Olympiad but unfortunately, my internet connection dropped during the test and I was automatically logged out. I hope the 2026 Olympiad has a better reconnection system! The questions were great though — especially the algebra section. Can anyone confirm if there will be a mock test before the official exam this time?
Omar Hussein –
The prize system is very encouraging. Even the certificates look official and high-quality.
Sarah Thompson –
Hello! My son is in Grade 4. Can he participate even if he’s never joined a math olympiad before? And how do we access the sample questions?
Ethan J –
This sounds like a great opportunity! My son loves math. Thanks for organizing an international event like this.
Priya Mehta –
Hi, I’m a parent. Are the certificates for top 10–50 digital or printed and mailed?
Chloe White –
Where exactly can I find the syllabus? I looked on the website but maybe I missed it
Amir Hakim –
Someone said the exam lasts longer than an hour. Is that true? I think it’s supposed to be exactly 1 hour.
Ana Martins –
My daughter is Grade 2. Is the level appropriate for young children, and how many questions are there?
David Brooks –
I think 1 hour is too short for an olympiad. Just my opinion though
Lucas Martinez –
Can we practice with last year’s questions? It would really help
Hannah Cole –
This is our first year entering. Hope everything goes smoothly on February 28!
Tom Richards –
Hey @David, one hour is fine. It’s not supposed to be a full olympiad like IMO, it’s simpler
Kevin R –
Someone above asked about calculators — I’m also wondering about that. Are they allowed
Babak Ebrahimi (store manager) –
No calculators are not allowed during exam
Laura Simmons –
Just completed the registration for my daughter. Excited for her first international math olympiad!

When is the last day to sign up? I don’t want to miss this global math competition

Will the online exam platform work on mobile, or do we need a laptop for this international competition?
