Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Yes. Registration fee is $20 or equivalent.
If you are interested, please register here 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. Registration opens on 18th September and closes on 4th
November.
No. Centre Coordinators can decide the time based on their time zones and the availability of the participants.
Before the event, CCs will receive the question papers in pdf format and will print off sufficient numbers. The papers must be sat under exam conditions with invigilation. Access to electronic devices is not allowed.
After the event CCs will be sent answer keys and will mark the papers and send the results for each level to IAVM on a pre-supplied form.
Both off-line and on-line scores will be collated, and full results will be sent to CCs.At each level the top 30% of scores will be
awarded gold, silver, and bronze certificates in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. The next 30% will receive a certificate of merit and the
remaining 40% receive a participation certificate. The top three internationally will also receive special certificates and will
feature on our website.
Yes, they are available here.
General communication can be made through our IVMO email address at ivmolympiad@gmail.com. CCs also receive
financial support between 32-40% of each entry fee to assist with logistics, printing, etc. On the day of the IVMO, 25th
November 2023, support will be provided by email at ivmolympiad@gmail.com, to deal with any online technical issues.
