| |
| − | Each Weekday consists of three instructional sessions: 8:30 AM -11:30, 1:15-3:15, 8:00 AM-10:00. Classes usually consist of a lecture followed by a problem set. Solutions are often presented by students with the supervision of an instruction.
| |
| − | Timed and graded olympiad style tests are an integral part of MOP. Every few days, a 4 hour 3 question test is administered, and is graded with comments within 2-3 days.
| |
| − | Team tests also occur occasionally, and consist of a team of 5 students working on 25 problems for 3-4 days. All of the teams then take turns to present their solutions to the problems. The fun starts when all of the easy problems have been taken, and teams resort to certain creative methods in order to solve a problem.

| − | MOP is often mispronounced MO(S)P for unclear reasons. The S is blasphemy.
