Portal

Teachers/organizations: Please log into your Portal account below to view your student’s results and get their official certificates.

Independent students: Your results and certificates are also available through your Portal account.

Did you use our old Portal system (prior to 2023)?

Prior to 2023, we had an older system. It’s still online so schools wanting to access their historical information still can.

The new Portal system doesn’t have the old years’ data on it, but the old system is still running. You can access the old portal here.
Remember: Teachers log into the old portal using their old school ID codes and their old passwords.
One cannot register for new competitions using the old system.

Statistics

Mathematics competitions, such as the CJMC, often have lower scores than students expect because they are much harder. There is no “passing grade” or “A/A+/B” grades. What competitors do is compare themselves to their peers, (i.e. the competition!). So instead of seeing that you got 48/80 as a raw percentage, you should instead consider your percentile, or ranking among the other competitors. Use the information below to give context and perspective to your score, within your grade group.

Grade	Top Score /80	Top Decile /80	Top Quartile /80	Median Score /80
$Canada Leaf 40$ K-4	80	57	35	24
$Canada Leaf 40$ 5	76	55	40	24
$Canada Leaf 40$ 6	80	64	48	28
$Canada Leaf 40$ 7	80	65	55	38
$Canada Leaf 40$ 8	80	70	59	44
$Canada Leaf 40$ Canada	80	66	53	35
$Earth 40$ Foreign	80	73	63	51
Overall	80	69	57	40

This year, a total of 64 students received a perfect 80/80 score. Well done!
