Assignments
2026-27 Entrance assignments will be released on 17th August
DEADLINE: All interested students (Year 10, Year 11, Year 12) are required to complete and submit both parts (Physics and Maths) of Assignment 01 by 17:00hrs Thursday 1st October 2026.
We do not admit students who only complete one part of the assignment.
To register as a Year 13 you need to have completed the Year 12 COMPOS programme. We do not accept new-to-the-programme Year 13 students, but we will accept new students to Year 13 of the COMPOS Follow-along programme. Year 13 students transferring from the Year 12 COMPOS programme should submit assignment 01 by 23:59hrs Thursday 10th September 2026.
Assignments will be marked. In the past, the passing score was >50% on both the physics and maths parts of the assignment. We cannot anticipate this year's passing score as it depends on the number of entries.
Here were the entrance assignments for 2025-26 COMPOS Programme:
| Year 10 | Year 11 | Year 12 | Year 13 |
| Maths10_01 | Maths11_01 | Maths12_01 | Maths13_01 |
| Physics10_01 | Physics11_01 | Physics12_01 | Physics13_01 |
How do I complete the assignments?
Step 1: Download the files to print out or open on your device
Step 2: Read them thoroughly and look up any links or additional information mentioned in the text (if you need to)
Step 3: Get some paper and a pen, or an e-note app, and start trying to solve the problems. Make sure you put the problem number in the margin and show all your workings. We don't recommend typing out the solutions as it is a) very time consuming and b) really hard to mark typed out algebra!
The assignment is not supposed to be used like a worksheet or exam paper, it's like a chapter from a textbook. Do not try and write the solutions on the assignment itself.
Your work should look something like this:
