Preparation Tips for iiO

Knowing the curriculum will assist students to choose which subjects to focus on more and which subjects to ignore as they prepare for iiO 2022.
Study plans are essential because they provide students with a detailed schedule for the whole day, preventing time-wasting. They are able to allocate the same amount of time to each topic by creating a study timetable.
Although the iiO syllabus is rather extensive and includes the material covered in the CBSE/ICSE board textbooks, students might benefit from learning from additional publications.
Students may get a sense of the types of questions that will be asked on the exam by practising mock tests and sample papers.
