Syllabus and Format

You can download the format and syllabus of the OMTC here.

The Oxford Mathematics Team Challenge is a competition between teams composed of four students, which consists of four rounds. One round is individual, and the other three are team rounds: teamwork is key!

The syllabus consists of most of the pure AS Level Mathematics, with the omission of all calculus, and with the addition of various topics from the GCSE and A-Level Mathematics curricula, among others.

Practice Questions

Since this is the pilot year, we don’t have a bank of past questions! However, we’re working on compiling questions from other sources which will attempt to simulate the OMTC in difficulty and format. We’ll let you know by our newsletter when there’s any updates here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of maths can I expect to come up? We can’t tell you! A lot of the maths will be familiar and just use familiar tools in creative ways. Some of the maths will be new, but will be accessible to you. Make sure you’re comfortable with using the mathematicals tools in the syllabus.
