About the Cuemath Olympiad Program

There are many competitions that school students can take part in. Typically they
are referred to as olympiads, or talent searches, or quizzes. These competitions test
knowledge and aptitude that goes beyond what is typically learnt in schools. To answer
these questions, a thorough understanding of the concepts is needed. But in addition,
regular practice is also necessary.

Students build a strong foundation through regular Cuemath classes. For the extra practice
that is needed just before such competitions, this Olympiad Program is all that students
need.

What you get

1. Olympiad Practice Book - School Math (print or e-Book)

2. Olympiad Practice Book - Aptitude (print or e-Book)

3. Olympiad Additional Practice e-Book

4. Olympiad Strategy e-Book

5. 4 Olympiad Tests online

How to make the best of this Program

The best way to use this program is by creating a two-month learning plan (which can be
squeezed if you don't have 2 months).

Start by taking the online benchmark test to know the current level of preparation.

Then, start with the School Math Practice Book. Complete it before moving to the Aptitude
Practice Book. Complete 1 full unit every alternate day. Target completing 3 to 4 units of
each week.

Once a unit is solved, use the answer key to correct the work. Expect a few mistakes. Ask
your child to figure out the mistake and see if they can correct it.

The School Math Practice Book also has partial paper-based tests. Take those whenever
you reach that point to track performance.

The remaining 3 mock olympiad tests can be taken online every 3 weeks. The mock test
report will tell you which topics are well understood and which ones need more practice.

Giving 3 weeks between two mock tests allows sufficient time to practice the topics that
need improvement. For additional practice on specific topics, use the Olympiad Additional
Practice e-Book.

Decoding: It is a process to understand a code language.

Types of Coding:

1. L
 etter Coding: Letters are used in forward or backward or
both the directions for making some code language.

2. D
 irect Letter Coding: Letters of a word are directly
replaced by other letters.

3. N
 umber/Symbol Coding: Numerals or symbols are
assigned to words.

4. S
 ubstitution Coding: Some particular words are assigned
to certain names.

Note: In questions where you are given 'A' means B it implies that 'A' is
the name given to B in the coded form.

This is also equivalent to B is called A.
