The results of the STEM Olympiad Qualification Round first exam, held on 23 November 2025, are now available. You can download the exam report and participation certificates from your student panel.

Important information regarding the exam results and the next steps: 

1. This exam is only for qualification. The results will decide which students can join the STEM online FINAL EXAM on 15 February 2026.
2. There are no medals or special rankings for this exam. All students who took the exam receive a Certificate of Participation. The ranking in the report compares only the students who took this exam. If students have the same score, the time they spent on the exam is used for ranking.
3. The exam report shows the number of correct, incorrect, and blank answers and the total score. Scoring system: Correct answer: +2.5 points / Incorrect answer: –1 point / Blank answer: 0 points
4. Finishing time is not very important in the Qualification Exam. In the Final Exam, if two students have the same score, the student who finishes earlier may get the higher medal.
