Age levels

  • Junior
    The task set is designed for participants of a younger age with a basic level of knowledge.
    8 tasks in the set include questions on classical astronomy and general concepts of the universe.
  • Middle
    The set of tasks is designed for participants continuing their exploration of the universe and the laws that govern it.
    8 tasks are dedicated to classical questions in astronomy and the application of physical principles in space.
  • Senior
    Senior level problem set is designed for participants who are fairly familiar with the basic astronomical concepts and laws.
    The set includes 10 tasks on classical astronomy and the basics of astrophysics.
  • Middle
    In order to successfully tackle this problem set, one must be familiar with the names and symbols of chemical elements, as well as the names and formulas of inorganic compounds. It's essential to grasp the chemical properties of the primary categories of inorganic compounds, be able to write balanced chemical equations, and conduct calculations based on them. Additionally, understanding methods for expressing solution and mixture concentrations is crucial, along with the ability to solve problems to ascertain the formula of an unknown substance using quantitative data.
  • Senior
    The problems cover such topics as the structure, physical, and chemical properties of both organic and inorganic substances, alongside key principles governing chemical reactions. Participants are expected to be able to write equations for the reaction of chemical substances, perform calculations, identify unknown substances based on quantitative data, and calculate thermochemical parameters.
  • Middle
    The set of tasks is created for students aged 14–15 with a basic background in physics. Topics covered include the laws of direct current, thermal processes, and mechanics. The ability to work with graphical information and tabular data is tested.
  • Senior
    The set of tasks is designed for participants who have a confident command of basic physical concepts and laws, and have the skills to solve non-standard physical problems. Three tasks in the set contain questions on classical mechanics (statics), gas laws, hydrostatics, and DC circuits.
  • Junior
    The set contains tasks of three types, such as choosing single or multiple correct statements from the list and matching objects and their features. Participants are expected to know fundamentals of biological taxonomy, botany, zoology, ecology, human and animal physiology and structure of animal and plant cells.
  • Middle
    The set contains tasks of four types, requiring participants to demonstrate a confident knowledge of botany, zoology, human anatomy, ecology, as well as cell structure. Participants are offered to analyse textual and graphical information, select correct statements from the list, establish correspondences and perform calculations.
  • Senior
    The set contains tasks of four types, requiring confident knowledge not only in the fields of botany, zoology, human anatomy, and physiology, but also in other biological disciplines such as molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and biochemistry. Participants are required to analyse textual and graphical information, including images of microscopic specimens, select correct statements from a list, establish correspondences, and perform calculations.
  • Junior
    The set of olympiad tasks is designed for children aged 11−12, but it may be of interest to a wider range of students. The tasks are within the Year 5 school curriculum but may require participants to engage in abstract thinking, apply unconventional approaches and ideas, and construct logical chains of reasoning. You will be presented with problems on the following topics: arithmetic and algebra, logic, combinatorics, chessboard problems and spatial reasoning.
  • Middle
    Participants are expected to be proficient in solving linear equations, systems of 2−3 equations, and have experience in solving word problems. A general understanding of prime numbers and the decimal representation of numbers is needed. Logic problems require the ability to form negations of statements. In geometry, knowledge of the criteria for triangle congruence, properties of parallel lines, and the sum of the angles in polygons is necessary. All tasks require the application of unconventional thinking and a creative mathematical approach.
  • Senior
    Participants are expected to be proficient in solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, as well as their systems, and have experience in solving word problems. Understanding the concept of functions, their domains, ranges, and basic properties, along with a general knowledge of prime numbers and prime factorisation, may be useful. Participants should be familiar with the concepts of the greatest common divisor (GCD) and the least common multiple (LCM), their basic properties, and the algorithms for obtaining them. In geometry, knowledge of the criteria for triangle congruence and similarity, properties of parallel lines, basic properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, tangents to circles, their secants, and inscribed angles is necessary. Participants are expected to know the basic formulas for arithmetic and geometric progressions. All tasks require the application of unconventional thinking and a creative mathematical approach.
