Revision as of 09:31, 30 March 2019

This page contains an approximate estimation of the difficulty level of various competitions. It is designed with the intention of introducing contests of similar difficulty levels (but possibly different styles of problems) that readers may like to try to gain more experience.

Each entry groups the problems into sets of similar difficulty levels and suggests an approximate difficulty rating, on a scale from 1 to 10 (from easiest to hardest). Note that many of these ratings are not directly comparable, because the actual competitions have many different rules; the ratings are generally synchronized with the amount of available time, etc. Also, due to variances within a contest, ranges shown may overlap. A sample problem is provided with each entry, with a link to a solution.

As you may have guessed with time many competitions got more challenging because many countries got more access to books targeted at olympiad preparation. But especially web site where one can discuss Olympiads such as our very own AoPS!

If you have some experience with mathematical competitions, we hope that you can help us make the difficulty rankings more accurate. Currently, the system is on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is the easiest level, e.g. early AMC problems and 10 is hardest level, e.g. China IMO Team Selection Test. When considering problem difficulty put more emphasis on problem-solving aspects and less so on technical skill requirements.

Scale

All levels are estimated and refer to averages. The following is a rough standard based on the USA tier system AMC 8 – AMC 10 – AMC 12 – AIME – USAMO/USAJMO, representing Middle School – Junior High – High School – Challenging High School – Olympiad levels. Other contests can be interpolated against this.

Problems strictly for beginner, on the easiest elementary school or middle school levels (MOEMS, easy Mathcounts questions, #1-20 on AMC 8s, #1-5 AMC 10s, and others that involve standard techniques introduced up to the middle school level), most traditional middle/high school word problems (Difficulty: Easy)
For motivated beginners, harder questions from the previous categories (#21-25 on AMC 8, Challenging Mathcounts questions, #5-20 on AMC 10, #5-10 on AMC 12, the easiest AIME questions, etc), traditional middle/high school word problems with extremely complex problem solving (Difficulty: Normal)
Beginner/novice problems that require more creative thinking (MathCounts National, #21-25 on AMC 10, #11-20ish on AMC 12, #1-5 on AIMEs, etc.) (Difficulty: Hard)
Intermediate-leveled problems, the most difficult questions on AMC 12s (#21-25s), more difficult AIME-styled questions #6-10 (Difficulty: Harder)
Difficult AIME problems (#10-13), simple proof-based problems (JBMO), etc (Difficulty: Insane)
High-leveled AIME-styled questions (#12-15). Introductory-leveled Olympiad-level questions (#1,4s). (Difficulty: Easy Demon)
Tougher Olympiad-level questions, #1,4s that require more technical knowledge than new students to Olympiad-type questions have, easier #2,5s, etc. (Difficulty: Medium Demon)
High-level difficult Olympiad-level questions, eg #2,5s on difficult Olympiad contest and easier #3,6s, etc. (Difficulty: Hard Demon)
Expert Olympiad-level questions, eg #3,6s on difficult Olympiad contests. (Difficulty: Insane Demon)
Super Expert problems, problems occasionally even unsuitable for very hard competitions (like the IMO) due to being exceedingly tedious/long/difficult (e.g. very few students are capable of solving, even on a worldwide basis). (Difficulty: Extreme Demon)

Beginner Olympiad Competitions

This category consists of beginning Olympiad math competitions. Most junior and first stage Olympiads fall under this category. The range from the difficulty scale would be around 4 to 6. A full list is available here.

USAMTS

USAMTS generally has a different feel to it than olympiads, and is mainly for proofwriting practice instead of olympiad practice depending on how one takes the test. USAMTS allows an entire month to solve problems, with internet resources and books being allowed. However, the ultimate gap is that it permits computer programs to be used, and that Problem 1 is not a proof problem. However, it can still be roughly put to this rating scale:

Problem 1-2: 3-4
Find three isosceles triangles, no two of which are congruent, with integer sides, such that each triangle’s area is numerically equal to 6 times its perimeter. (Solution)
Problem 3-5: 5-7
Call a positive real number groovy if it can be written in the form $\sqrt{n} + \sqrt{n + 1}$ for some positive integer $n$ . Show that if $x$ is groovy, then for any positive integer $r$ , the number $x^r$ is groovy as well. (Solution)
