5-Star Review: Incredibly Helpful for UKMT Olympiad Preparation
I’ve used several Mathsaurus courses, including the JMC and JMO ones (both free and paid), and most recently the live group course for the Hamilton Olympiad. Across the board, these courses have been an amazing resource — I genuinely don’t think I would’ve earned two UKMT Olympiad golds without them.
The Hamilton Olympiad course was especially memorable: three weeks of fast-paced, in-depth problem solving in a small group setting. Kevin Olding guided us through Olympiad-style questions, offered helpful hints when needed, and shared valuable general tips. His passion for maths is clear, and the lessons got progressively harder — which kept things challenging and engaging. We tackled questions at almost double the usual Olympiad pace, so it really pushed me to improve.
The self-paced JMC and JMO courses were also useful — well-organized by subtopic and a good way to build up both skills and confidence. One thing I appreciated was learning test-specific strategies I hadn’t considered before, like using process of elimination in UKMT multiple-choice rounds.
I would absolutely recommend Mathsaurus courses to anyone preparing for UKMT challenges or Olympiads. It’s the only site I’ve found that offers dedicated UKMT Olympiad training, and it absolutely delivers.
