Mathematics & Problem Solving Pathway for United States

QUICK SUMMARY

Rated Expert, This invitation-only national olympiad requires complete proofs for six problems and feeds the U.S. international mathematics team pathway. Entrants qualify through AMC and AIME; detailed 2027 invitation criteria are still pending. Success requires rigorous, original arguments across algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory over nine hours of examination time.

QUICK SUMMARY

Difficulty varies by division from Advanced to Expert, HMMT Season 30 combines an in-person November tournament at Harvard with a substantially harder February tournament at MIT. Eligible students worldwide may apply through an adult coach as a team or individual, with places normally allocated by lottery. Both events mix individual, team and rapid Guts rounds; the main challenge is sophisticated timed problem solving, especially February's proof work.

QUICK SUMMARY

Rated Expert, An invitational mathematics contest for young women selected through official qualifying scores. Applicants satisfy the current grade, gender, geography and AMC participation conditions before invitation. The exam compresses creative problem solving into twenty numerical-answer questions, with a proof-based Olympiad for selected performers.
