One hour and an internet connection. The highest scorers are invited to a Grand Final in the United States.
1
Science and mathematics together
Problems that sit where a subject meets the world, rather than inside one chapter of a textbook.
2
Taken from where you are
No travel, no exam centre, no invigilator to book. The round runs inside the olympiad's own panel.

Enter more than one
A student may sit several categories and win several medals. Each category is paid for separately.
Seven categories, by grade
Each category opens at a different grade. Check the range before paying: a wrong tier is not refundable.
Natural Science
Grades 3–8Science before it splits into three. For students who have not yet specialised.
Physics
Grades 9–11Opens at grade 9, where physics becomes a subject of its own.
Chemistry
Grades 9–11Sits in the earlier exam window, two weeks ahead of the rest.
Biology
Grades 9–11Shares its exam day with Chemistry, two hours later.

Two separate ladders
One rewards where you place. The other rewards your score alone. They are easy to confuse, so here they are apart.
By placing
Top three in each grade and category: a physical gold medal, a posted certificate, and a Grand Final discount.

Gold 2
Gold 3
By score
Every participant earns a certificate set by their own mark. A score of 92 is gold even if ten scored higher.

The conditions worth reading first
- Claims close 15 days after the results are announced.
- The discount belongs to the winning student and cannot be transferred to anyone else.
- It cannot be carried over to a future year, and cannot be taken as cash.
- Winning in several categories still gives one discount only, and the largest one applies.
