Remember, students who appear for all 6 Olympiads and score merit positions come in a special category of the Academic Excellence Award. So you might consider appearing for them all.

Make a proper timetable

Olympiads are additional studies along with your regular school exams. So it is important to plan your time wisely and devote sufficient time for your school exams, Olympiads, as well as play and rest. Proper planning will help you nail your merit rank.

Pay attention to the Logical Reasoning part.

Parents and students need to be aware of all the content included in the Olympiads. Logical Reasoning is a good subject that improves rational thinking power in students and understanding logical connections. Not everyone knows that there is a separate section of Logical Reasoning in NSO, IMO, and NCO. Hence, students might lose marks if they don’t prepare for it.

Learn time management

Exams always come with a set number of hours, and all that you achieve in that time counts for the quality of your results. So as the clock ticks, allot limited time to solve each question and finish the paper on time. The more you practice, the more easily you would be able to manage your time and answer each question in confidence. So, practice and learn to manage time. Don’t be nervous.

Best of luck!
