## Summary

The Fall A-level is the harder autumn sitting of the Tournament of Towns. Problems expect sustained reasoning and clear written proofs. Juniors and Seniors have separate papers on the same date. Your score is the sum of marks on your three best problems.

## Context

The autumn advanced round — comparable in difficulty to strong national and International Mathematical Olympiads.

## Pathway

- **Pathway context:** Tournament of Towns → Fall O-level → Fall A-level → Spring O-level → Spring A-level

## Guidance

### Parent advice

A-level papers are a serious step up. Students who enjoy the Fall O-level and want more depth can try A-level in the same year or a later year — there is no single prescribed path.

### Student advice

Write complete solutions with reasons, not just answers. If a problem has parts, marks for parts add together before your three problems are chosen.

### Teacher advice

Offer A-level only to students who are comfortable with proof-style questions. Use past A-level papers from the official archive to set expectations.

## How to prepare

- Work through recent Fall A-level papers and compare with official solutions
- Practise explaining lemmas and cases clearly in writing
- Review geometry and combinatorics techniques common in ToT papers
- Sit one timed mock before the real round if possible
