This course has made me better at solving problems that require a higher level of mathematical conceptual understanding. I think the module quality was very good and the team was very responsive to the feedback I gave them. The integration of more problem solving and mock test series was really helpful in this program. I was also able to get more clarity in geometric concepts.

Nikhil Pande, Oberoi International School, Mumbai, Grade 10, MYP, CEMC, Asian Math Olympiads, 2023, achieved Distinguished Honor Roll in the Cayley exam, achieved gold, silver, and bronze medals in the South East Asian Math Competition (SEAMC)
