Questions parents ask about olympiad dates
- When are the SOF olympiads held in 2026-27?
- SOF gives each paper a window, and every school sits it on one day inside that window. ISO: Level 1 Oct-Dec, Level 2 Feb; IMO: Level 1 Oct-Dec, Level 2 Feb; IEO: Level 1 Sep-Nov, Level 2 Feb; ICSO: Sep-Jan; IGKO: Sep-Nov; ISSO: Jan. Level 1 is the paper every registered child sits; Level 2 is the second round for those who qualify, from Class 3 up.
- How do I find the exact exam date for my child?
- From the school. Each organising body publishes a window of dates and the school picks one and tells its students. The official site of each body, linked in the table, carries the window; the school carries the day.
- Can a child sit more than one olympiad in a year?
- Yes. The windows run from September to February, and a child registers for each paper separately through the school. Many children sit the SOF maths, science and English papers in the same season.
- Which olympiads can a Class 1-6 child sit?
- Most of them: 61 of the 63 olympiads on this page admit Class 3, for example. PrepMojo has a page for each class listing every olympiad open to it, with the SOF syllabus and sample questions.
