Olympiad

Olympiad preparation

Original mock papers, full written solutions to official competitions, and geometry you can move. Everything on this page is free.

Original mock papers

Sit them cold under the stated time limit, then read the solutions.

Kevin's Mathematical Olympiad, Round 1

BMO1 style3½ hours

An original mock in the style of BMO Round 1, across geometry, number theory, algebra and combinatorics. Each question is worth 10 marks.

Mock Senior Mathematical Challenge

SMC style90 minutes

An original mock in the style of the UKMT Senior Mathematical Challenge, marked out of 150. The questions get much harder towards the end.

Solutions to official competitions

Original write-ups of real competition papers. Find the official problems, try them first, then compare.

UKMT Senior Mathematical Challenge 2026

New25 problems

Full solutions to all 25 problems, with every diagram redrawn in tkz-euclide.

Purple Comet! Math Meet 2026, High School

30 problems

The thirty official High School problems, with solutions and remarks.

British Mathematical Olympiad Round 2, 2011

4 problems

Solutions and insights for the four problems of BMO2 2011.

IMO Shortlist 2025, G1 to G3

Geometry

Original, rigorous solutions to the first three geometry problems of the 2025 IMO Shortlist.

The HU Collection

Short, elite-level problem sets on topics the standard curriculum skips. They train the habits olympiads reward, and they also suit MAT, TMUA and interview preparation.

Part 1: Pure Elegance and Structural Logic

Recognising invariants, exploiting symmetry and building creative arguments.

Part 2: Combinatorial Processes and Invariants

Combinatorial processes, algorithmic operations and state changes.

Geometry tools and proof marking

Going further in geometry? Beyond the Incenter is a full monograph on olympiad geometry, from the triangle's centres to projective geometry and spiral similarity. Read the sample chapter on cross ratios.
