Mathematics: Ranking is based on
individual scores. Medals are awarded to the highest ranked participants. The
cutoffs (minimum scores required to receive a gold, silver or bronze medal
respectively) are chosen such that the ratio of gold to silver to bronze
medals awarded approximates 1:2:3.
Physics: A gold medal should be awarded to the top 8% of the participants. A silver medal or better should be awarded to the top 25%. A bronze medal or better should be awarded to the top 50%. An honourable mention or better should be awarded to the top 67%. Chemistry: Gold medals are awarded to the top 10% of students, silver medals are awarded to the next 20% of students, and bronze medals are awarded to the next 30% of students.Honorable mentions are awarded to the next top 10% of the participants that do not win a medal. One special award is given to the student that achieves the highest score overall. Two separate special awards are given to the students who get the best score in the theoretical and practical examinations. Another special award is given to the top-scoring female student. Biology: All participants are ranked based on their individual scores. These are based on the results of a theoretical and a practical test, each making up approximately 50% of the final score. Gold medals are awarded to the top 10% of students, silver medals are awarded to the next 20% of students and bronze medals are awarded to the next 30% of students.

Remarks

It is currently the premier
physics competition for pre-university students from Asian countries. It is
modeled after the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), and demands a
similar level of intellectual capability from the participants. The only
difference between APhO and IPhO is that a national team for APhO is composed
of eight students at the most, instead of five for IPhO. The contestants are
expected to be selected from general or technical secondary schools of the
respective participating countries.
APhO has several purposes: to assist in the preparation of Asian students towards the IPhO; to build a network among the leaders for further collaborative projects in physics education, such as creating physics competitions in their own countries, and to encourage Asian countries to participate in other international physics competitions. |
