Quick answers
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.
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.
