The International Olympiad of Mathematics is abbreviated as IOM. The National and International Mathematics Olympiads measure students’ analytical reasoning abilities in school-level mathematics. Every year, students from Classes 1 to 12 from across the nation participate in the International Olympiad of Mathematics to evaluate their true mathematical opportunities in the future. The Silverzone IOM exam is based entirely on the CBSE/ICSE/State Boards syllabus.

Overview of Exam
The International Olympiad of Mathematics is held at three levels at the Silverzone Foundation. Students who pass each level are eligible for the next.
- Level 1 is open to students in grades 1 to 12.
- Second level: In each class, the top 1000 first-level olympiad rank holders will compete with the top positions in a second-level examination. Level 2 is open to all first-year students with a minimum of 75% of the marks and a minimum of 100 students from a specific school.
- Level 3 will be accessible to 2nd level olympiad rank holders from 6 to 12 grades. The third level will take place in New Delhi, India.
Exam Pattern of Silver IOM
The silver IOM exam pattern is similar to other olympiad exams. There are four sections: logical reasoning, mathematical reasoning, everyday mathematics, and achiever section.
- Logical Reasoning – The first section is designed to help students develop learning skills and approach verbal and nonverbal reasoning on a variety of topics with confidence.
- Mathematical Reasoning – In this segment, students must learn various strategies for developing mathematical reasoning by solving various types of mathematical problems.
- Everyday Mathematics – The third section is dedicated to assisting students in developing problem-solving skills related to various mathematical concepts.
- Achiever Section – Participants were tested on their essential mathematical skills in the final section. Since the basic concept is covered in detail in this section, students must be familiar with the topics ahead of time in order to effectively answer the various questions.
