Once you select your country, curriculum, and school level, we'll automatically assign the appropriate International Maths Challenge (IMC) grade.
For the November 2026 Challenge, students following the United States Curriculum in Grade 5 will be assigned IMC Grade 4.
Reason: Schools in the United States begin their academic year in early September. Therefore, the IMC test for the November 2026 Challenge will display Grade 4.
In contrast, students following the Australian Curriculum in Year 5 will take the IMC Grade 5 test, as the Australian academic year begins in late January.
Please note that the final scorecard and certificate will correctly reflect the student's curriculum and grade, displaying "US Curriculum Grade 5" for students following the US curriculum and "Australian Curriculum Year 5" for students following the Australian curriculum.
Your choice: Country | Curriculum | Level
The Test Practice Papers and Final Test will show IMC Grade Level
The final Scorecard & Certificate will show Country - Curriculum - Level

Our 15 Test Practice Papers closely resemble the Maths Challenge, allowing students to practice on our Test Platform and feel confident on Test Day. The first 10 papers include written solutions, while the next 5, which are more challenging, come with video explanations from our teachers for better understanding.
