CEMC Math Competition:
Why Should You Participate?
The CEMC Math Competition enhances students' university admission competitiveness, strengthens extracurricular activities, and offers special benefits to those who achieve excellent results, providing valuable opportunities to acquire professional knowledge.
01
Enhancing University Admission Competitiveness
For students planning to pursue majors in STEM fields (such as Health Science, Engineering, Computer Science, etc.), achieving excellent results in the CEMC Math Competition becomes a key factor in enhancing their competitiveness during the university admission process.
02
Strengthening Extracurricular Activities
For students who lack extracurricular activities such as volunteer work or club involvement, the CEMC Math Competition can be a great opportunity to strengthen their portfolio. Through this, students can demonstrate their willingness and ability to engage in activities outside of academics.
03
Special Benefits
Students who achieve excellent results can receive the Distinction Award and an invitation to the EMACS workshop. The Distinction Award recognizes and honors students' achievements, while the EMACS workshop is a special educational program for students who have shown outstanding performance. Through this, students can further develop their skills and acquire professional knowledge.

Exam Structure and Evaluation Method
Each exam consists of multiple-choice questions, and the total time allowed for the exam is 1 hour. The key to achieving a high score is solving the problems quickly and accurately within the given time. The exam is divided into three sections: A, B, and C, with a total of 150 points.
Although it varies each year, to receive the Distinction (awarded to the top 25%), students typically need to score around 105-110 points out of 150.
Additionally, although it varies each year, students who score over 128 points on average will not only receive an award but also have their name placed on the Honour Roll List. Their name will be permanently recorded in the Waterloo official math competition website’s Hall of Fame, where it can be viewed for a lifetime.
