COMC 2024 Wrap Up
Thank you participants, teachers, volunteers and sponsors! Final Results are released!
The official scores, awards for each competitor, and certificates are available to teachers and independently-registered students through their Portal accounts.
This year’s COMC was held on Wednesday, October 30th in Canada and the Americas and on Thursday, October 31st elsewhere in the world.
Statistics
In mathematical problem solving competitions, it is normal for your score to be lower compared to a typical school exam due to the level of difficulty of the questions. The median scores are often well below half the maximum points available for the competition. This is the case for the 2024 COMC, so we suggest you compare yourself to your peers through percentiles rather than the maximum possible points. The following should give you a good indication of your score compared to your peers:
| Threshold Score /80 for Top Two Quartiles | |||
