Frequently Asked Questions.

Who can enter the PRISM contest?

PRISM runs two contests that are open to all Irish post-primary students - one for junior cycle students and one for senior cycle students. These are multiple choice format problems designed to test your basic mathematical problem solving ability. If you are a student who would like to participate you must ask your maths teacher to register - see below.
