International Teenagers Mathematics Olympiad (ITMO) is a prestigious international mathematics Olympiad held every two years. It was last held in Philippines in 2017. This competition has the same structure as the International Mathematics Competition (IMC) but it is a better competition than IMC as the name suggests. ITMO is held at two levels:
Key Stage II (Grades 6, 7, 8)

ITMO is good for students to showcase their mathematical talent at an international level.
