This is not a test of knowledge or speed; SEAMO tests a child's critical thinking ability and assesses. That is why the syllabus must be followed as per CBSE and ICSE boards Syllabus.
Southeast Asian Mathematics Olympiad (SEAMO) is the brainchild of Terry Chew, the author of books like 'Wicked Mathematics' and the Olympiad series, 'Unleash the Maths Olympian in You'. The exam was introduced to India in 2016 and was offered to students of both Primary and Secondary schools. The exam is based on extensive research by the team in the Terry Chew Institute of Mathematical Olympiads and on the developed framework by examining multiple olympiads.
The framework is known as the RA*CE Framework and is used in the Terry Chew Acadamy. The academy has produced several students who have excelled in multiple international olympiads like Kangaroo, SASMO, NMOS, RIPMWC, SMOPS, Mathlympics, SMO, AMC8, AMC10 and many more.
