About

The Unicus Global Science Olympiad (UGSO) is an International Online Competitive Exam for students in classes KG - 10th. Students will be provided with three Mock Tests (inclusive of Free Trial) to practice before the Final Exam. The Mock Tests can be attempted for 3 times. The exam will be a MCQ-type test.

The exams for classes KG and 1st will be parent/teacher assisted.

Note: UGSO is a winter Olympiad exam, and the topics/syllabus of the test will be taken from the same class in which the student would be currently studying.

  2. Applying: involves using acquired knowledge in practical situations.
  3. Reasoning: includes analysing, synthesising, and evaluating data to form judgements or solve problems
