Gauss Mathematics Competition is one of the highest mathematics competitions in junior high schools in Canada. Every year, a large number of registered schools at home and abroad organize students who are extremely interested in mathematics in grades 7-8 to participate in the competition, and the scope of the competition is within the syllabus of various provinces in Canada.

Examination content

This competition requires 60 minutes, 25 multiple-choice questions and no questions and answers. The competition is divided into three groups: Group A 10 questions, with 5 points for each question; Group B 10 questions, with 6 points for each question; Group C has 5 questions, with 8 points for each question; Total score 150.

Students can bring any calculator into the examination room. There is something special about the Gauss Mathematics Competition. If you can't do the problem, you don't have to choose. Blank questions that are not answered get 2 points for each question (but only ten blank questions can be given extra points at most).

Examination difficulty

Group a (Q 1-Q 10) is the simplest. Even if it is put in the school exam, it is a simple question. This set of questions is purely for warming up, and it is not appropriate to lose points on it.

The questions in group B (Q 1 1-Q20) are a little more difficult than those in group A, but not much. For students who do well in school, this sub-topic is moderately difficult. The only thing to note is that the last three questions in Group B, namely 18,19,20, may require a little brains.

Group C (Q2 1-Q25) is obviously more difficult than Group B. If you want to get rid of your opponent and win the top 5% position, these five questions are absolutely crucial. Generally speaking, candidates with a good degree of mathematics spend at most 20 minutes doing group A and B questions, and the remaining 40 minutes doing group C questions.
