SASMO previous year papers help students prepare for the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO). Students can practise papers from 2019 and 2020 for Primary 2 to Primary 6 and Secondary 1 to Secondary 4/JC levels. Solving these papers helps students understand the question patterns, apply mathematical concepts, and improve logical reasoning. Students can select the paper for their grade and use it for regular practice before the competition.
Students can use SASMO past year papers to practise mathematical problems and become familiar with different question types. The PDFs listed below are organised by year and grade, making it easier to find the relevant paper.
Choose the paper that matches your current grade and attempt the questions independently before checking any available answers or solutions.
The following table contains Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO) 2019 past year papers for Primary and Secondary levels. Select the link for your grade to open the PDF.

Practising past papers is an important part of SASMO exam preparation. These papers give students an opportunity to apply what they have learnt to mathematical problems that may require more than one step to solve.
The main benefits of SASMO past papers include:
Understand question patterns: Students become familiar with the style and difficulty of questions asked in previous competitions.
Improve logical reasoning: Regular practice helps students develop analytical thinking and learn to approach problems from different angles.
Apply mathematical concepts: SASMO maths practice questions encourage students to use mathematical concepts to solve unfamiliar problems.
Identify weak areas: Reviewing mistakes helps students understand which topics need more attention.
Improve time management: Solving papers within a set time helps students practise working accurately under exam conditions.
Build confidence: Repeated practice can help students feel more comfortable with challenging questions.

Students can follow a simple preparation plan to make better use of SASMO practice papers. The aim should be to understand the concepts behind each question rather than simply finish as many papers as possible.
Start with your current grade: Choose the SASMO past year paper that matches your grade. This helps you practise questions relevant to your level and syllabus coverage.
Attempt questions independently: Read each question carefully and try to solve it without looking at an answer key or solution.
Practise with a timer: Once you are familiar with the questions, attempt a complete paper under timed conditions.
Review your mistakes: Check incorrect answers and work out why your approach did not lead to the correct result.
Revise the relevant concepts: Practise the mathematical skills used in questions you found difficult.
Attempt another paper: Move on to a different year's paper and check whether you can solve similar questions more accurately.
Consistency is important. Short, regular practice sessions can help students improve their problem-solving skills without relying only on last-minute revision.
SASMO previous year papers are useful resources for students preparing for the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad. The 2019 and 2020 PDFs listed above cover multiple Primary and Secondary grade levels. Choose the paper for your grade, practise regularly, and review your mistakes to strengthen mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
