How To Prepare for the National Science Olympiad (NSO):

The SOF National Science Olympiad (NSO) is a competitive exam that tests students' knowledge and problem-solving skills in the field of science. To excel in this exam, one must prepare thoroughly and strategically.

• Familiarize yourself with the exam pattern and syllabus to understand the topics that will be covered in the exam.
• Practice solving sample papers and previous years' question papers to get a feel of the exam format and improve your problem-solving skills.
• Enhance your understanding of science fundamentals and reasoning through regular practice and study.
• Solve previous years' question papers to understand the exam pattern and types of questions asked.
• Stay updated with the latest developments in the field of science through NSO Olympiad books, online resources, and tutorials to broaden your knowledge base and stay ahead in the competition.

The syllabus for National Science Olympiad is divided into three sections for each class starting from class 1st to class 12th. This has been done in order to ensure that it is represented in an easy-to-find way. The sub- topics are given strictly according to the class in which the student is and the Mock Tests and Sample Papers are also provided.

Section 1 - Logical Reasoning Section which mainly deals with the questions related to Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Click Here to Read About Reasoning

Section 2 - Science Section which covers all the relevant topics and sub-topics of current and previous class Science Syllabus.

Section 3 - Achiever's Section which contains Higher Order Thinking Questions of same topics as in Section 2. It is advisable to move to this section only after you have completed the previous two.

In NSO Level-1 exam, 60% of the questions will be from the current class syllabus and 40% from the previous class syllabus. However, the questions in Achiever's Section will be from the current class syllabus only.
