What is an olympiad?
An olympiad is a competitive academic exam that stretches high-achieving students well beyond the standard curriculum — most famously in mathematics, but also in the sciences, informatics and other subjects. Candidates typically progress through rounds of increasing difficulty, often from school level up to national and international finals.
Olympiads are as much about identifying talent as testing it, so they lean on demanding questions, standardised delivery and reliable ranking — often at large scale and across many locations at once. See how Synap supports competitive exams and olympiads.
