United Kingdom SAMC 2025
The UK SAMC (Summit of Advanced Mathematical Competition) is an online mathematics event, which we have run annually since 2021. It is targetted at passionate students from across the country, and is excellent preparation for upcoming exams.
Anyone can partake, but we recommend it be sat by students aged 14 to 18 (years 10 through 14). Students who are older than 18 or not in university will not be able to win any top prizes, but will still be sent certificates.
Whilst achievable with knowledge of A Level maths alone, the questions are challenging and test a wide variety of skills - mainly your abilities to think logically and creatively. Give our featured past papers at the bottom a try.
There are two rounds; students that achieve GOLD in Round One get free Round Two entry.
Round One is now over, but round two is open to all!
Round Two: July 19th, 12:00PM
Awards
Achieving GOLD or greater in Round One qualifies for Round Two.

Our Mission
As mathematicians, we believe that we bear a duty to challenge others. There is simply no way to grow intellectually or personally without challenge. The UK SAMC not only provides vital practice for admissions tests and A-Levels, but also experience with pushing yourself.
Growing up we have always struggled to find environments in which to do this, hence this platform’s conception in the height of lockdown 2021.
We hope you can feel the same sense of satisfaction when completing our puzzles as we did when writing them.
Featured Winners
Featured are a team of four 2023 contestants that all received gold awards and subsequently took part in Round Two. We hope to fill this page with many more of our winners and participants!
