Start of the qual­i­fy­ing round

October 20, 2025

Here is the qual­i­fy­ing (remote) round of the competition.

We will be happy if your friends who like Eng­lish also par­ti­cip­ate. How­ever, every assign­ment should be done indi­vidu­ally; oth­er­wise, your sub­mis­sion will not be considered.

The win­ners of Olympi­ad 2024/25 (those with Dip­lo­mas I‑III) can par­ti­cip­ate dir­ectly in the final round.

Prob­lems

The qual­i­fy­ing round is tra­di­tion­ally held for stu­dents in grades 8–11 in a test format: for each task, you only need to enter the answer, which is either a num­ber or a let­ter. In some tasks, the answer may be a for­mula or the answer «no solu­tion».

How to sub­mit solutions

To par­ti­cip­ate in the «For­mula of Unity» / «Third Mil­len­ni­um» 2024/25 Eng­lish olympi­ad, it is neces­sary to sub­mit solu­tion by the dead­line of 23:59:59 UTC on Novem­ber 13, 2025 (which is 02:59:59 Moscow time on Novem­ber 14). Please register in our inform­a­tion sys­tem and sub­mit your solu­tions through the per­son­al account. Import­ant: if you already have an account, there is no need to cre­ate a new one.

Please note that each item in the assign­ments has a sep­ar­ate num­ber. Each answer must be entered in the box with the same num­ber as the item.
The answer should look like this:
1. A
2. B

We do not accept qual­i­fy­ing round works in any way oth­er than through upload­ing with­in the inform­a­tion system.

Be sure to read the par­ti­cip­a­tion instructions.
