Olympiad Ranking

The ranking of students is a mathematical analysis of their academic scores compared to those of other students. The ranking for Olympiad exams is determined based on scores from both rounds, which are then converted into ranks according to the grading system. A student is eligible to receive a rank when he or she meets the ranking criteria.
