Competition Guidelines

Everything you need to know to compete with confidence.

KOMODO blends school-style mathematics with creative olympiad-style challenges. Below is the full breakdown — registration, format, schedule, and exam structure — so you can prepare with no surprises.

Age Categories

Five levels, five challenges

Every student competes in the level matching their age on competition day. Difficulty scales gracefully — younger students are not asked to do older-student work.
