Practise →The National Math Olympiad (NMO) is a school-level mathematics competition for students in Classes 1 to 12. It rewards mathematical reasoning, logical thinking and the ability to solve unfamiliar problems rather than routine textbook sums.
Preparing for a maths olympiad is best done by practising a wide variety of problems at and slightly above your class level, with a focus on understanding methods rather than memorising answers. The topic-wise practice sets here are designed to build exactly that problem-solving confidence.
| Eligibility | Classes 1 to 12 |
| Format | Objective multiple-choice questions |
| Focus areas | Logical reasoning, core mathematics and higher-order problem solving |
| Mode | School-based written test |
- Number sense and arithmetic appropriate to the class level
- Logical and pattern-based reasoning
- Geometry, measurement and data handling
- Algebra and word problems (in higher classes)
- Practise a wide variety of problems rather than repeating the same type.
- Attempt questions a little above your current class level to stretch your thinking.
- Focus on understanding the method behind each solution, not just the final answer.
- Time your practice to build speed and accuracy together.
Who can take the NMO?
School students from Class 1 to Class 12 can practise and prepare; questions are set per class level.
How is a maths olympiad different from a school exam?
Olympiads emphasise reasoning and unfamiliar problem-solving over routine textbook questions, so practising varied problems matters more than rote learning.
How should I prepare for the NMO?
Practise topic-wise, attempt slightly harder problems, and review the method behind every solution.
Are these NMO practice questions free?
Yes. All class-wise NMO practice on Safe Learning for Kids is free, with explanations.
