There are many competitions that school students can take part in. Typically they
are referred to as olympiads, or talent searches, or quizzes. These competitions test
knowledge and aptitude that goes beyond what is typically learnt in schools. To answer
these questions, a thorough understanding of the concepts is needed. But in addition,
regular practice is also necessary.
Students build a strong foundation through regular Cuemath classes. For the extra practice
that is needed just before such competitions, this Olympiad Program is all that students
need.
Start by taking the online benchmark test to know the current level of preparation.
Then, start with the School Math Practice Book. Complete it before moving to the Aptitude
Practice Book. Complete 1 full unit every alternate day. Target completing 3 to 4 units of
each week.
Once a unit is solved, use the answer key to correct the work. Expect a few mistakes. Ask
your child to figure out the mistake and see if they can correct it.
The School Math Practice Book also has partial paper-based tests. Take those whenever
you reach that point to track performance.
The remaining 3 mock olympiad tests can be taken online every 3 weeks. The mock test
report will tell you which topics are well understood and which ones need more practice.
Giving 3 weeks between two mock tests allows sufficient time to practice the topics that
need improvement. For additional practice on specific topics, use the Olympiad Additional
Practice e-Book.
