Academic, BKK Prep, Event, News, Secondary March 6, 2020

On the 6th February 2020, we had 35 Year 9, 10 and 11 mathematics students sitting the UKMT Intermediate challenge after school. This competition is based around enrichment activities aimed to open young people’s minds to the breadth and depth of mathematics. Students from across the globe compete in these challenges. At Bangkok Prep the students managed a haul of 9 Bronze Certificates, 11 Silver Certificates and 9 Gold Certificates. Gold Certificates are only awarded to the top 10% of entrants worldwide, so this is a huge achievement. A huge 83% of all entrants at Bangkok Prep scored high enough to be awarded a certificate!

A special mention must go to Victoria and Jihyo who scored Best in Year 11 and Year 9 respectively and also Pyncha in Year 10 qualified for the follow on Olympiad event.

An extra special mention MUST go to Rishabh in Year 10 who not only scored best in Year 10, Best in School and enough marks to qualify for the follow on Olympiad event, he also scored a never seen before by any Mathematics teacher here at the school perfect 100%!! This achievement cannot be underestimated and surely puts him as one of the best mathematicians of his age in the world!
