• The first level consists of reasoning and mathematics questions. The second level is pure mathematics. The second level exam is very challenging and requires advanced level preparations.
• For second level, student cannot leave any topic. Go through entire syllabus and identify resources to study the different topics of IMO. Result of first level Olympiad exams is announced by January and second level exams are conducted in second week of February.
