Anyone else got a child doing the Junior Maths Olympiad today?

My son is doing it. He is not impressed. He is the only one in his year and thinks it is very unfair that his mates that are doing the Kangaroo have a shorter paper and it is multiple choice.

Our pre exam practice involved me doing the questions and telling him about them. Every now and then one would catch his interest and he would actually give it a go.

Anyone else got a child doing it and were they more cooperative about practice? I’m imagining everyone else carefully prepping their enthusiastic and grateful children! 😂

My boy did the Kangaroo today. It isn’t multiple choice, but it is only an hour.
He has done no prep for it, also no prep for the stage before (he also has end of year school exams in every subject this week and is prone to getting anxious).

I guess a kid is either up for these things - or not?
