Yep I’ve done the maths challenge every year since I started secondary and I’ve just started year 12 and am doing maths and further maths! I know I probably won’t do so well cause like you said it’s in two weeks but I just wanted to try anyway! :smile:

Im presuming youve done ok in the ukmt? The mog past papers are at
https://ukmt.org.uk/competition-papers/jsf/jet-engine:free-past-papers/tax/challenge-type:80/
and usually the earlier questions are easier than the later ones, so maybe pick a few years worth and try and do Q1&2s, then when youre feelling 1/2 confident try Q3&4s, then if you have time the Q5s. Read the questions carefully and theyre usually structured to somewhat lead you through the solution (unlike the bmo). The required knowledge should be similar to smc, so gcse++, so maybe do a couple of smc papers if you get bored, but concentrate on trying mog questions and reflecting on the solutions/markers reports.
