Separate contest dates from deadlines
CEMC dates were checked on November 6, 2026. The CSMC / CIMC ordering deadline has passed. A future contest date does not mean registration is still open. Confirm changes with the organizer and participating school.

How to participate
CEMC participation is arranged through schools, not individual student registration. Ask the math teacher first; if the school does not participate, another participating school may accept the student. A TAC course inquiry does not register a contestant or confirm an exam location.
Choose a starting point
Grade level is one reference point. Try official past problems together and consider the reading, reasoning and written explanations required before choosing a contest. Competition preparation and regular math tutoring can be discussed separately.
