Ten minutes to locate yourself on the gradient
The placement assessment is a short diagnostic that maps your current mathematics against the Euclid’s measured difficulty gradient — from the parts nearly everyone converts to the cliff where written arguments decide the marks. It is free, and the result gives the advisor something concrete to read instead of a guess.
Message the advisor on enterprise WeChat — the button below or the footer QR — and ask for the placement paper. It arrives as a short printable set.
About ten minutes, timed, alone, no notes — the same discipline as the real paper. Send your answers back as written, including the unfinished ones.
The advisor marks it the Euclid way — step marks, not just answers — and reads the result back against the difficulty gradient, with a concrete next step.
The questions sample the same ground the Euclid Mathematics Contest draws on — algebra and functions, geometry, trigonometry and logarithms, sequences, counting and number properties — arranged from school-level checks to contest-style reasoning. It is a sitting, not a study session: work it timed, alone, and without notes, exactly as the real paper is written. A flattering result from an open-book attempt only misleads the advisor who reads it.
The climb — problems 1–8 territory — still leaks marks. Consolidate school algebra and geometry first; the world average (52.2 in 2026) is beaten on fundamentals, not tricks. A structured Sprint plan fits here.
The Distinction line (≈66 in 2026) is within reach — the gap is usually written-solution craft, not knowledge. Train full arguments on past papers and the official toolkits.
Your campaign is problems 8–10, where world averages sink below 2 / 10. Timed past-paper sittings, linked multi-part arguments, and exactness discipline — the 80+ and 90+ writers’ regimen.
Whatever the number says, it is a starting coordinate, not a verdict — have an advisor read it with you →
