    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who can apply to be a Centre Coordinator?
    The IVMO’s are operated through Centre Coordinators (CCs), who take responsibility for participants who register with them or who are allocated to them. Any responsible adult can apply to become a CC.
    Do I have to pay a fee to be a Centre Coordinator?
    Yes. The registration fee is $25 or equivalent.
    How do I register?
    If you are interested, please register on our website with your basic information. You will then receive an email from IAVM to guide you to the next steps and information about the payment options.
    Will my email address be made public?
    No. All personal information will remain confidential. Under safeguarding and data protection regulations IAVM will not share any personal information.
    Is there a fixed time for the Olympiad on November 15th and November 29th?
    No. Centre Coordinators can decide the time based on their time zones and the availability of the participants.
    Will the Olympiad be administered online only?
    No. IVMO is available either on-line or off-line.
    What is the process for the Offline mode?

    Before the event, CCs will receive the question papers in pdf format and will print off enough. The papers must be sat under exam conditions with invigilation. Access to electronic devices is not allowed. After the event, IAVM will send the answer keys to the CCs. The CCs will evaluate the papers and submit the results for each level to IAVM using a pre-provided form.

    What is the process for Online mode?
    The participants interested in taking the test online will be registered to the IVMO portal. On the day of the test, under invigilation conditions (Zoom or like), the participants will log in to the portal and take the timed online test.
    Can I get a list of topics?
    Yes, they are available here.
    Can I see past papers or sample papers?
    Yes, these are available for download here. Please note that in the first year there were 50 questions per paper and now there are 40 questions at each level. When you register you will also receive a link to the IVMO 2024 solution videos.
    How long is the Olympiad?
    IVMO is one hour long and consists of 40 multiple choice questions.
    Do the questions have different marks allocated?
    Yes. Questions 1 – 25 each carry 2 marks, questions 26 – 35 each carry 3 marks and questions 36 – 40 each carry 4 marks. The maximum possible score is 100 marks.
    When and how will the results be declared?

    We will collect both online and offline scores. All participating CCs will receive results. In each level, the top 30% of scores will earn Gold, Silver, and Bronze certificates, awarded in a 1:2:3 ratio. The next 30% will receive a Certificate of Merit, and the remaining 40% will receive a Certificate of Participation. Additionally, the top three international performers will receive special certificates and be featured on our social media channels.

    Who will send the certificates to the participants?
    Due to IVMO being an international event template copies of certificates in ppt format, together with result lists will be sent to each CC. CC’s will enter the names of winners and complete the certificates. CC’s can decide to send an e-copy or hard copy of the certificates. IAVM will also send further certificates to the top three entries in each category.
    What kind of support is available to the CC’s?

    CCs receive financial support for between 32-40% of each entry fee. General communication can be made through our IVMO email address at ivmolympiad@gmail.com or the WhatsApp group “IVMO 2025 CC’s”. For technical issues we have a system to raise the ticket. Our IT team will be on hand to respond soon.
