When exactly are SMO 2026 results out?

There is no fixed public date. Results historically come out in August--September, approximately 6--8 weeks after the competition. Check the SMS portal and official SMO page for announcements: https://sgmathsociety.org/singapore-mathematical-olympiad-smo/

Can I check SMO results online?

Yes. SMS historically publishes results on their portal at https://sgmathsociety.org/. You may need your registration details to look up individual results. Results are also communicated through schools.

What score do I need for Gold?

Cut-off scores change every year and differ across Junior, Senior, and Open categories. SMS determines thresholds after marking based on the overall score distribution. There is no pre-published target score.

What if I didn't get a medal?

SMO is one of several ways to demonstrate mathematical ability. If you are in lower secondary, you have multiple years to participate again. Continuous improvement matters more than a single result.

How does SMO compare to NMOS and SASMO?

SMO is for secondary and JC students (not primary). It is generally considered more challenging than SASMO at the same grade level. NMOS is the primary-school equivalent in Singapore's olympiad pipeline. See how they all connect: https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/Singapore-Maths-Olympiad-Pathway-NMOS-SMO-APMO-IMO

Check results via the SMS portal at sgmathsociety.org or through your school.
Award tiers: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honourable Mention - thresholds vary by category and year.
Top Junior and Senior performers may be selected for SMO Round 2 and the national training team.

1 When are SMO 2026 results released?

SMO is organised by the Singapore Mathematical Society (SMS) and typically runs between June and July for all three categories. Results follow approximately 6--8 weeks after the papers.

Category	Typical competition window	Results typically released
Junior (Sec 1--2)	June--July	August--September
Senior (Sec 3--4 / IP Year 3--4)	June--July	August--September
Open (JC / IP Year 5--6)	June--July	August--September

These timelines are approximate. The Singapore Mathematical Society's official SMO page will carry confirmed dates: https://sgmathsociety.org/singapore-mathematical-olympiad-smo/
