Ans. The SOF test syllabus is based on the syllabuses of the ICSE, CBSE, and various state boards. As a result, students who desire to take this examination can rely heavily on their textbooks for exam preparation. Students can also study logic and other ideas by consulting various SOF Olympiad publications. Applicants can also prepare better by reading past years’ questions and online test packages.
Ans. There are three SOF exams, but not all of them have two levels. The only organizations with two levels are NSO, IMO, and IEO. The qualification requirements in these tests are quite stringent. Students who obtain a minimum of 50% in level one qualify for the second level at the school level. In the zonal level, the top 25 rank holders from level 1 will progress to level 2. Eventually, globally, the top 5% of students who pass the first level will progress to the second level.
Ans. Every Olympiad exam competitor is rated based on their exam results and individual accomplishments. Once the results are revealed, students are given a Student Performance Report (SPR), which contains a full analysis of their performance.
