JUNIOR DIVISION
AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL YEARS 7 and 8
TIME ALLOWED: 75 MINUTES

INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

GENERAL
1. Do not open the booklet until told to do so by your teacher.
2. NO calculators, maths stencils, mobile phones or other calculating aids are permitted. Scribbling paper, graph
paper, ruler and compasses are permitted, but are not essential.
3. Diagrams are NOT drawn to scale. They are intended only as aids.
4. There are 25 multiple-choice questions, each with 5 possible answers given and 5 questions that require a
whole number answer between 0 and 999. The questions generally get harder as you work through the paper.
There is no penalty for an incorrect response.
5. This is a competition not a test; do not expect to answer all questions. You are only competing against your
own year in your own country/Australian state so different years doing the same paper are not compared.
6. Read the instructions on the answer sheet carefully. Ensure your name, school name and school year are
entered. It is your responsibility to correctly code your answer sheet.
7. When your teacher gives the signal, begin working on the problems.

THE ANSWER SHEET

1. Use only lead pencil.
2. Record your answers on the reverse of the answer sheet (not on the question paper) by FULLY colouring the
circle matching your answer.
3. Your answer sheet will be scanned. The optical scanner will attempt to read all markings even if they are in
the wrong places, so please be careful not to doodle or write anything extra on the answer sheet. If you want
to change an answer or remove any marks, use a plastic eraser and be sure to remove all marks and smudges.

INTEGRITY OF THE COMPETITION

The AMT reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official status to their score.
