Join our Telegram study groupQ: What does Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO): IP-Friendly Guide for Parent & Student cover?
A: What SASMO tests across Grades 1–12, how its two-section paper maps onto IP heuristics, and what to confirm with SIMCC because 2026 dates/fees/medal bands are not yet posted.
TL;DR
SASMO runs for Grades 1–12 and combines school math with Olympiad-style heuristics. The official site does not yet list 2026 dates, fees, or medal bands (checked 2025-12-01), so confirm those with SIMCC before registering. Use this guide to map common SASMO formats (two-section paper with negative marking in Section A) to IP heuristics, but always cross-check against the current SIMCC circular.
Registration quick answer (Singapore): Register through your school or, if offered, SIMCC open‑centre venues. Dates, venues and fees change each cycle - confirm on the official pages before paying: https://simcc.org/sasmo/ and https://sasmo.sg/ (official site is occasionally unreachable; use the SIMCC link if it’s down).
