Math Kangaroo USA 2027: Check the Center Before You Pay

Choose a center you can use before paying. The U.S. registration page lists proctored in‑person or online centers as open; separate state REMOTE and self‑proctored VIRTUAL registration are closed at this check.

This is the U.S. individual competition. Canada has a separate organizer; these dates and USD fees do not establish Canadian eligibility.

Check the center and grade

Students in K–12 must read and answer independently. Kindergarten takes Grade 1; never register below the student's actual school grade.

Choose a center in your state of residence from the 2027 enrollment catalog. Public centers accept other schools; private centers require an invitation code. A listing is not a reserved seat.

Check the fee before paying

• Regular registration: September 15–December 31, 2026, $20 USD.
• Late registration: January 1–February 1, 2027, $35 USD.
• Competition: Thursday, March 18, 2027.

The organizer lists registration dates without a cutoff hour or timezone. Confirm your center's session time and displayed timezone; do not assume a nationwide start or that a catalog label means local time.

Registration cannot be cancelled or refunded. Confirm center access, grade and session details before paying.

Match the question set

All students get 75 minutes: K–4 receive 24 multiple‑choice questions; grades 5–12 receive 30. Kindergarten uses the Grade 1 test.

Keep the work independent

The test‑day instructions prohibit outside help, calculators, phones and other aids. No separate generative‑AI policy was found; this does not permit AI assistance during the test.

A parent may handle registration and accommodations. For younger online students, a parent may help with setup, then leave the room once the test is accessed and stay available for technical issues.

Arrive or join at least 15 minutes early. Paper entrants hand in the answer sheet and booklet; online entrants submit before leaving the proctor meeting. There is no make‑up test.

Your next step

HAEA preparation advice: record center access, actual grade and session time/timezone in one note before payment. Then practice an official paper independently and review how you reached each answer.
