## Summary

The Spring O-level is the easier spring sitting. Your overall Tournament result is the maximum of your scores across levels and rounds in the year, so a strong spring performance can improve your final standing even if autumn was weaker.

## Context

The spring basic round — second chance in the school year to build your Tournament of Towns result.

## Guidance

### Parent advice

Spring rounds are a good target for students who discovered the Tournament in the autumn term. Past papers from both seasons are valuable practice.

### Student advice

Because only three problems count, pick the ones that play to your strengths after reading the whole paper. Partial work on a hard problem can still contribute if it scores well.

### Teacher advice

Remind students that Spring and Fall rounds are independent entries — use Spring to motivate students who missed the autumn sitting.

## How to prepare

- Compare Spring and Fall O-level papers from the same year if available
- Practise writing concise proofs for combinatorics and number theory problems
- Use the official problems page to download PDFs for your age band
