The Humming Bird English Olympiad Exam (HEO) is meant to help students improve their fluency and vocabulary. Language skills, grammar, reading comprehension, sentence corrections, and other topics are included in the HEO test. Humming Bird is also the first organisation in India to organise Olympiads in regional languages, assisting state boards and students. Humming Bird now administers six language tests.

The Humming Bird English Olympiad is one of the foundation’s six language tests. The Olympiad is built on a Multiple Choice Question Pattern, which encourages children to be more exact and cautious while answering Olympiad questions. Each student taking English as a subject will receive a free book (worth Rs. 100/-) to help them discover their strong and weak aspects in the subject. We will discuss more on the HEO Exam 2022 in this article.
