2025 Rules (Reference)
The rules below are from the 2025 competition. The 2026 rules will be posted here.
-
General Rules
- Calculators are not allowed.
- This is an individual test, so you may not communicate with anyone else taking it.
- Once time begins, we will not answer any questions about the problems.
- You will have 75 minutes to solve 40 problems. Once time is called, you must put down your pen or pencil and stop working.
- Scores will be posted on the website. Your score will appear next to your identification number.
-
Specifics
- You have a test paper, answer sheet, and scrap paper.
- You may use space on your test paper and additional scrap paper to do work. Your answers must be written on the answer sheet. We will not look at answers written on your test paper.
- Each problem has only one answer. If you put more than one answer for a problem, you will be marked wrong. When changing an answer, be sure to erase or cross out completely.
- Write legibly. If the graders cannot read your answer, it will be marked incorrect.
- Do not approximate constants unless a problem specifies you should.
- If a unit is indicated in the problem, the answer must be given in that unit. For instance, if the problem asks for the answer in hours, you cannot give your answer in minutes. Furthermore, you don't need to write the unit, as the graders will assume your answer is in the units asked for in the problem.
- There is no penalty for guessing.
- Ties will be broken based on the number of correct responses to the last ten questions. If a tie remains, then the correct responses to the last five questions will break the tie.
- We will announce how much time is remaining often during the test.
