I'm doing it! And from what I've heard is it's going to be multiple choice questions, where standard knowledge is needed. As long as you know the basics you should be fine!
Doing it as well! It's basically GCSE maths with a bit of AS level so the content isn't hard however it requires ingenuity. You could be a brilliant GCSE/A Level mathematician but may barely be able to scrape a bronze in this.
My friend got a B in GCSE maths but made it to the BMOs but a few friends of mine who got A*s and are doing really well at AS maths didn't even manage a bronze! Best thing to do is practise questions (mainly geometry)

it's usually pretty unpredictable, so just go in with a calm head and make sure to read every question carefully and remember the paths to the answers might not be as simple as it may seem
(I did 9 maths challenges over my 7 years at secondary/sixth so I'm quite experienced if there's anything ya wanna ask )

So.... what are he questions like? Maybe 2+2? Or even better M times V?

Thanks for the advice! That is a lot of maths challenges lol. Do you think its worth looking at the questions past number 15? Is it worth guessing any?

Im practising right now . The questions about people telling the truth are so annoying ! And I agree, it's strange how people who have lower GCSE grades manage to do better! Thanks for replying. Good luck!

Yes, it's definitely worth looking at every question, there's time for it.
Don't guess though, unless you've got a better chance of getting it right - you lose marks for incorrect answers...
Haha that looks alright but how would you do the first question in your head?! unless there's some weird trick to it (calculator). I'm not really fussed about this though, because its not part of my A-level My maths teacher said she will kick us out of maths if we don't attend(hope she wasn't serious!) Good luck to you all who are doing it.
