Questions in IAIS Science 2024 exam do not directly tackle science but require students to assume some data according to their age and depending on their curriculum.
- Students are tested in problem-solving areas, from collecting data from phenomena, interpreting them, and applying this data to problem-solving and investigating these methods to develop new ideas and solve them.
-
They are also tested on their higher-order thinking by asking qualitative and quantitative reasoning based on IAIS Science 2024 syllabus.
The actual dates will be updated from the Macmillan Education official website. Since the IAIS Olympiad is canceled for the year 2024, it's been kept on hold by the management. Any information on the exam getting conducted once released by the management will be updated here.
