- evaluate the breadth of the students' mathematical knowledge and skills;
- select superior students in the field of mathematics for further training and advancement;
- provide the Filipino youth with the appropriate avenue to enhance their mathematical skills through phases of intensive mathematics training programs; and
- develop the mathematical potentials of the mathematics promising students to meet the international mathematics standards.
Students who passed the examination will be eligible to enroll as trainees in the 12-Saturday Mathematical Challenge for Filipino Kids Training Program (MCFKTP) where they can have the opportunity to participate in the different international corresponding mathematics competitions such as: (a) Mathematics Olympiad for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS); (b) American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) - 8, 10, 12; (c) Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC); (d) Canadian Mathematics Competitions (CMC) - Pascal, Caley and Fermat contests; (e) Rio TINTO Big Science Competition; and (f) International Competition and Assessment for Schools (ICAS) - Math, Science and English.
