There are 2 contests – one for Elementary School Students and another one for the Secondary School Students. Only the Secondary School Students may participate in the selection for IBO.

There are two rounds of this competition. The 1st round is organized at schools and the 2nd one is organized by the Examination Centre itself, in collaboration with university professors. In the first round each school selects best students which are going to participate in the 2nd and final round of this competition. Best students from all participating schools compete in 2nd round, and the winners of 2nd round (in Secondary School category) are selected for IBO (usually the top 4 if they succeed in getting a minimum score of 75/100).

Secondary school students compete in two categories. Students of the first and the second grade compete in the first category and students of the third and fourth grade of the secondary school compete in the second category. Winners of both categories may be selected to participate in IBO. If needed, an additional round of selection can be organized to select the top 4 students from these two categories.

All rounds of this competition are organized through the theoretical Biology test.

Examination Centre is the official host and organizer of this competition.

We don't have the exact number of students at school competitions.

Examination Centre receives the list of the best ranked students before the 2nd round of competition is organized.

School tests include multiple choice, essay and similar questions (such as to draw or designate something).

Examination Centre of Montenegro is producing the tests. The authors of the tests are reputable university professors.

The 1st round is organized at schools (Elementary or Secondary, depending on the school the students attend). Then the best ones from 1st round take their tests at the university (2nd round) where all knowledge competitions are held.

The training is organized mainly at school. Schools and school teachers are involved. The training depends and vary from school to school (approximately one academic year). Some of them train at the university using different tests including exercising with old tests.
