Jordanian Mathematical Olympiad (JMO) syllabus

The JMO syllabus has been carefully crafted to foster the development of students’ critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The questions are designed to enhance reasoning skills and the application of mathematical formulas.

It is recommended that participants solve previous years’ papers and take part in online Olympiad exams such as the SCO Olympiad. This competition features participants from 26 countries and 4000 schools, fostering a spirit of healthy competition. Additionally, upon registration, students gain free access to study materials and mock tests, allowing them to study and practice without constraints.

The SCO Olympiad is an international competition for schools and students, offering online and offline exam modes. In Jordan, both government and private schools have the option to conduct an Arabic Language Olympiad, which is exclusively offline.
