Academic Prerequisites
 | To register for the Math Olympics, a student must: - Have at least a B or higher in their math course.
|
Technical Requirements
 | To register for the Math Olympics, a student must: - Be able to use Zoom.us on their computer. PCs and Macs tend to work well with Zoom.us.
- Have an external webcam, not a webcam that is built into the computer.The testing teacher will need to monitor the student and Enlightium teachers found that external webcams are better for this.
- You can find an example of an external webcam here.
- Be able to print the testing sheets ahead of testing days. Enlightium teachers found that there were fewer issues when students wrote their answers on an official test sheet than on scrap paper.

- After the test, the solutions must be emailed to the testing teacher.
