Mock abacus competition paper

Pick a category, press generate, print. A fresh seeded 200-question paper in the standard competition format, with a separate answer key — built by the same engine as the Kani exam simulator.

No signup. Papers are generated in your browser, and the paper number on the sheet reproduces the exact same paper.

Categories A to C are addition and subtraction only, worth 400 marks; categories D to I add multiplication and division for 300 marks. Every paper is 200 questions in the standard section order, and difficulty follows the competition convention: higher categories mean more digits, more rows, and decimal operands at H and I.

Each paper carries its number. Print two copies of the same number for a fair head-to-head, or a fresh one each week for practice papers that never repeat. The answer key prints on its own page — keep it, the paper travels to the student.

Common questions

What does a real competition paper look like?
Two hundred questions on one sheet, printed in section order, with the answer key on its own page. Sections group by shape: columns of addition and subtraction first, then multiplication and division in the higher categories. This generator builds papers with the same engine as the in-app exam simulator, so a printed sheet matches the on-screen exam question for question.
How long is a competition round?
Eight minutes for all two hundred questions — about two and a half seconds each, which is why the format rewards trained technique over careful checking. Marking is all-or-nothing: a correct answer earns its marks, a wrong or blank one earns zero. The printed paper carries no timer, so set one yourself if you are sitting it under contest conditions.
What do categories A to I mean?
They are difficulty tiers. A to C are addition and subtraction only, total 400 marks at 2 marks a question, and allow the abacus in hand. D to I are mental only and total 300 marks, mixing 2-mark addition and subtraction with 1-mark multiplication and division. Digits and rows climb with the letter; ten-row columns arrive around F, and H and I add one-decimal operands.
Can I print the same paper for a whole class?
Yes. Every sheet prints its paper number, so print one and photocopy it — thirty identical papers is a fair sitting. Press New paper for a different one next week. The answer key starts on its own page, so you can keep it and hand out only the questions.
Which category should we sit?
Match the category to the ladder rung: A is Basic, B and C are Elementary A and B, D and E are Intermediate A and B, F and G are Higher A and B, H is advanced decimal work and I is Grand Level and graduates. If the abacus is still in hand, stay in A to C — D upward are mental-only papers.
