Olympiads for Class 5

23 exams open to Class 5 this season — 13 with organiser-confirmed dates. Honest guidance first, list second.

Classes 3–5 are the sweet spot for a first real olympiad: children can read a paper independently and enjoy beating it. One subject exam plus at most one reasoning or diagnostic exam is a full year.

Last updated: 6 July 2026 · Dates reviewed monthly. Updates applied within 48 hours of an organiser announcement.
