Quick answers

What is an olympiad exam? (Olympiad exam kya hota hai?)

An olympiad is a competition exam in a school subject such as maths, science or English, run by an organiser like SOF, SilverZone or CREST. Children answer multiple-choice questions based on their school syllabus, with some harder thinking questions; the top scorers may go to a second round and win medals or cash prizes.

Which olympiad is best?

There is no single best olympiad. Pick the subject your child enjoys most, then an exam you can take: SOF olympiads go through the school, while CREST, IOF, SilverZone, Humming Bird and the online Unified Council and Indian Talent exams let you register your child yourself.

Can I register my child for an olympiad myself?

Yes for CREST, IOF, SilverZone, Humming Bird and the online Unified Council and Indian Talent exams. SOF olympiads and the International Cyber Olympiad go only through the school.

Is there negative marking in olympiad exams?

Unified Council: none. CREST: none in its English, Reasoning, Green Warrior and Mental Maths olympiads (Mental Maths since 2025) or the Spell Bee's summer round; its Maths, Science and Cyber olympiads don't say. SOF, SilverZone, Humming Bird, Indian Talent, IOF and the Cyber Olympiad don't say; check the paper's instructions on the day.

When is the olympiad exam 2026?

Each organiser sets its own dates, and for SOF, SilverZone and the Indian Talent school exam the school picks one of a few. Every date, month by month: the 2026-27 calendar.
