DOKA FORMAT & MARKING SCHEME

In this video, we delve into the format and marking scheme of DOKA assessments. Understanding the structure and scoring system is essential for achieving success.

WATCH VIDEO of Mr Jay Menon speaking about Non-verbal Reasoning (NVR) in relation to DOKA. Mr Jay was MENSA MALAYSIA CHAIRMAN 2012/2013.


Depth of Knowledge Assessment (DOKA) is an International Mathematical Problem-Solving Competition held annually around the globe. It is jointly organized by SMO Education Group and Academy TeamMathics.

Many may not be aware that Reasoning Skills is one of the most important elements in higher order thinking. Reasoning is the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way and to find an answer to a problem by considering possible options.

DOKA provides healthy competitive platforms for students from Year 1 to 13 (Primary 1 to A-Levels/STPM) to assess their HOTS and IQ ability among their own year level group. Parents and school teachers can also take this opportunity to assess their children and students BEFORE they attempt more challenging maths competitions or IQ tests in future.

All Malaysian students who have won Gold/ Silver/ Bronze in DOKA will be invited to join the Thailand International Mathematical Olympiad (TIMO) Final, Hong Kong International Mathematical Olympiad (HKIMO) Final, AIMO (Asia International Mathematical Olympiad) Final, Global Mathematics Elite Competition Final (GMEC Final), HXC (Hua Xia Cup) Final and BBB (Big Bay Bei) Final. Contest entry is available on a first come first served basis, so register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Why DOKA?

DOKA is SPECIAL. DOKA is unlike any other math competitions. It provides a range of interesting variation in questions to spark students’ curiosity and encourages them to think outside the box and invoke their love for math!

An Opportunity for All. DOKA exposes students to the various types of Reasoning Skills and this gives them the opportunity to explore and the confidence to take part in more challenging math competitions and start scoring A*s in Math.

Reaching Greater Heights. DOKA helps students to be comfortable with various mathematical problem solving in the right environment. DOKA wants students to utilize this experience to continue to take part in more challenging Math Olympiad Competitions in the future.

DOKA is designed based on Depth of Knowledge in Mathematical Problem Solving. With realistic and high standards, DOKA aims to expose more students to mathematical problem solving and invoke their love for math. It will help them improve in school math as well as higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). With the solution manuals which will be available after the contest, students can learn creative heuristic methods recommended to solve complex mathematical problems, as well as, knowing their strengths and areas for improvement.
