Q: What is the current status of APMOPS 2026?
A: The online Round 1 ran on 16 April for Singapore P6 pupils and Malaysian schools, and on 18 April for Singapore P5 pupils and other overseas centres. Round 1 results were due through the portal by 1 May. The Invitation Round and prize presentation took place at Hwa Chong Institution on 30 May. Registration is closed.

The two Singapore entry routes were different

The previous guide said every Singapore candidate had to be nominated and registered by a school. That was correct for P6 but not for P5 in 2026.
