2025 NMOS Registration Details Are Out!

Begin your 2025 NMOS preparation with this All-In-One NMOS Guidebook

NUSH has released the 2025 NMOS exam schedule, and this year’s exam is scheduled for July 16. This year, only P5 graders can sign up to participate, and the exam will be held in their respective schools.

The 2025 NMOS exam schedule was released, with this year’s exam on 16 July 2025. With the recent changes to the NMOS eligibility and criteria, only P5 students can participate in a single round held in schools.

On top of that, there is an added requirement for the NMOS Top 30 Female. They would have to achieve at least a silver medal to receive the Top 30 Female award, increasing the difficulty level of the competition. Award holders might be pleased to hear that the Top 20 NMOS medalists will receive a trophy.

To help students prepare for the exam effectively and efficiently, we have designed the All-In-One NMOS guidebook allowing students to understand difficult problems in simple terms.

What’s the difference between the All-In-One NMOS Guidebook and the Top 30 Topics for NMOS Gold?

Systematic and Effective Exam Preparation

•Video Explanation: Accompanied by in-depth video explanation for challenge questions to help your child master the knowledge point

• Targeted Practice: Example questions are supplemented with practice questions sorted according to difficulty level to improve problem-solving speed and accuracy

• 400+ Key Knowledge Points: More than 400 essential questions and step-by-step explanations, covering various difficulty levels and knowledge points

• Systematic Preparation: 30 essential knowledge points and detailed analysis provided

New and Improved Version

•In-depth Analysis: Questions are designed to meet the test requirements with more practical and in-depth analysis

• Complete Systematic Learning Method: Prepare effectively for NMOS translating from theory to practice through our systematic learning method

• Video Tutorials: Develop problem-solving skills through detailed video explanations and progressive practice questions

5-Step Learning Method

Our All-in-One Guide for NMOS Gold is complete with 30 topics, analysed using our 5-Step Learning Method

• Step 1: Conceptual knowledge. Learn basic concepts and essential knowledge points tested at NMOS
• Step 2: Practice with real questions. Using past year NMOS questions, gain an understanding of the key skills and techniques tested.  
• Step 3: Step-by-step analysis. Analyse problem-solving techniques step-by-step, guiding students in terms of thought process.
• Step 4: Independent Practice. Consolidate and assess current understanding of the principles taught in the previous example through independent practice questions.
• Step 5: Challenge Questions. Develop higher-order math olympiad thinking and cultivate the ability to solve complex problems.

Step 1: Conceptual Knowledge

We have analyzed the problem-solving skills required for each of the frequently-tested topics in NMOS. In this section, we explain the core concepts and how formulas are derived to develop students’ understanding of the concept. The analysis uses classic question types and step-by-step explanations to guide students and build a foundational understanding of the concept.

Step 2: Step-by-step example

With real questions from past year’s NMOS papers, we have provided step-by-step explanations to illustrate the knowledge point and conceptual knowledge. Using the Think Academy closed-loop teaching method allows students to develop their thinking process from basic application to expansion questions. With repeated practice, students will be able to transfer problem-solving skills into new contexts.

If your child is encountering this question for the first time, encourage them to write down their thought process on a piece of paper. Instead of rushing to solve the question, focus on the steps that you would take. Then, compare your problem-solving strategies with the solutions provided by the book to see if they are. The key is to compare and discover the gaps in your understanding. Then learn alternative problem-solving methods. This will not only cultivate students’ independent thinking ability but also help them to develop their problem-solving abilities.

Step 3: Guided Practice

Under the Guided Practice section, we have selected a classic example that students can complete through the fill-in-the-blank guidance. Through this section, students will internalise the key steps, helping them to gradually transitioning from mere techniques to developing problem-solving skills. This will guide students to apply the knowledge and methods they have just learned and flexibly to new problems.

Step 4: Practice

In this section, we provide questions for students to complete independently. These questions allow students to put the knowledge and problem-solving skills they have acquired to the test.

The answer key will be provided at the end of the book. Compared with the previous version, we have selected additional practice questions to help children master the question types more proficiently, deepen their understanding through repeated practice, and improve their problem-solving ability.

Step 5: Challenge Questions

Lastly, we have added two challenge questions, designed for students who are aiming for NMOS Gold, Top 30, and IMSO National Team. This means that you will have to ensure that you do not lose beyond 10 points in the NMOS exam by investing time and energy to develop your problem-solving skills in difficult questions.

Not only did we provide a video tutorial of each question, but we also added extra practice questions with similar difficulty levels to allow students to apply the knowledge that they have learned from the examples. This segment is highly recommended for students who want to achieve a breakthrough in their math olympiad thinking process.

All in all, the goal of this book is to help students consolidate basic knowledge, master core problem-solving methods, and develop the ability to apply knowledge in creative contexts so that each child will be able to conquer the challenges faced in NMOS. In this updated version, we have made some changes to the difficulty, in hopes of providing support for students aiming for a gold medal, TOP30, or the IMSO national team.

What’s next?

NUSH has made some changes to the rules and eligibility of NMOS with the number of rounds for NMOS reduced from two rounds to one with only P5 students allowed to participate. Although P4 students cannot participate this year, they can start to build their Math Olympiad foundation. This is advantageous to Primary 4 students as it allows students to develop their math olympiad thinking and work towards NMOS gold.  

On top of this All-in-One Guide for NMOS Gold, we have also designed a 4-month NMOS Gold Preparation Plan to prepare students efficiently and effectively through a systematic learning method from learning conceptual knowledge to application.
