Syllabus

• The syllabus for International Computer Science Olympiadis divided into three sections for each class starting from class 1st to class 10th.
• 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 Testsand Sample Papers are also provided.
• All the Questions are based on Windows 7 and MS Office 2010.
  Upto class 5th the Section 1 contains questions related to Patterns, classifications, analogies etc. Class 6 th onwards, it contains questions related to Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
  Section 2 contains questions related to the topics and sub-topics relevant to the class in which the student is. Some topics which could be found here are Fundamentals of Computers, Hardware, evolution of Computers etc.
  Section 3 consists of the questions of Higher Order Thinking. The topics are same as those of Section 2 for each class but the level of the questions gets raised a few notches up. This section should be started only after the previous sections are completed as it tests the students differently.
