2. Sample problems, Instruction of Math Test, and Information about Science Test

• Unlike the first 2 years the exam problem will be based on Canadian curriculum. You may find sample problems at http://www.akcse.org/NMSC2010/Sample.docx. The examples illustrate the types of problems to solve, not the degree of difficulty. For further study Math committee recommends to visit Waterloo Math Competition website: http://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/contests/contests.html.
• Some examples of assigned topics for the science competition can be found at Science Topics for Public.
