UKMT track

A ladder that ends in proof.

Where Kangaroo is one multiple-choice paper per age, UKMT is a progression. The Challenge and its Kangaroo follow-on are multiple choice — but the Olympiad rounds ask for full written solutions, marked on reasoning, not just the answer. That last step is why UKMT gets its own space.

STEP 01

Challenge

Junior, Intermediate and Senior — 25 multiple-choice questions against the clock. The entry paper everyone sits.

Multiple choiceJMC · IMC · SMC
STEP 02

Kangaroo

The follow-on round for strong Challenge scores. Still multiple choice, but a sharper, faster set of problems.

STEP 03

Olympiad

JMO, the Cayley–Hamilton–Maclaurin papers, then BMO. Full written proofs — a different discipline, and a different practice mode.

The multiple-choice levels will run on the same engine as IKMC, retuned for UKMT’s timing and marking. The Olympiad proof practice is a separate build — you can’t auto-mark a proof the way you score a multiple-choice answer, so it’ll be its own mode rather than a level of the test engine.
