Competition brings awards and recognition for the country's top students in Mathematics
Eight students from School of the Nations won medals or earned honorable mentions in the 16th Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad (OBMEP). The competition aims to stimulate and promote the study of mathematics and to promote social inclusion through the dissemination of knowledge, allowing middle and high school students to apply mathematical concepts in challenging tests. OBMEP is aimed at both public and private schools.
With over seventeen million students from 50,000 public and private institutions taking part, School of the Nations made its mark with unparalleled results!
Artur Arruda, Grade 10, ranked first in the state ranking for Level 3 students (Grades 11 and 12) and won the silver medal. Artur also won first place in Level 1 among all private school students in Brazil in the 2019 OBMEP.

How does the Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad (OBMEP) work?
The Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad consists of two tests, one objective and the other open-ended. The objective test has twenty questions and is eliminatory. Therefore, only the top 5 percent of students qualify for the second exam.
The second exam has six open-ended questions. Two university professors correct answers.
