IMO Syllabus 2023 PDF – Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) has prescribed the IMO 2023 Syllabus for all the classes through their official website that is sofworld.org. It consists of the SOF Olympiad‘s section-wise marks distribution, number of questions, weightage and all important topics of IMO sample paper 2023.

SOF IMO Syllabus 2023

In general, the IMO SOF Syllabus 2023 majorly contains around 60% topics from the present class and rest 40% from the previous class to maintain a balance for all students. Thus, practicing mock papers can give a clear idea to the student about the type of questions which will be asked in his/her class’ paper. After practicing, match your answers with IMO answer key 2023 to know the probable scores of IMO results 2022.

  1. Is the IMO Syllabus 2023 same for both Levels?

    All the topics and chapters which are mentioned in SOF IMO Syllabus 2023 are the same for both, level 1 and level 2 examinations. However the level of difficulty does not remain the same. The IMO Level 2 examination has slightly more difficult questions as compared to level 1 questions.

  2. Which books must be referred to cover the IMO 2023 Syllabus?

    In order to cover the SOF IMO 2023 Syllabus, students must note down the topics and practice all of them through respective NCERT or school curriculum books. However, in order to have complete preparation, students can also take preparation material sold by SOF. Students can also practice through previous year papers to get a clear idea of the questions.

  3. Where can we see the IMO Syllabus 2023?

    Students preparing for IMO Olympiad, can check the IMO 2023 Syllabus through the official website of SOF that is sofworld.org or they can also get syllabus overview here.
