Top performers will be eligible for medals and are invited to attend special award ceremonies to have their academic excellence publicly recognised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assessments are suitable for students wishing to extend themselves academically and take up the personal challenge of competing in an international assessment that has been running for 40 years. Your daughter will be presented with high-quality, expert-developed questions, allowing them to apply their learning without the need for prior study or revision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
