SOF ISO Class 4: syllabus, paper pattern and sample questions

The SOF International Science Olympiad (formerly NSO) for Class 4 is a 60-minute paper of 35 questions for 40 marks in 3 sections. Every question has four options and one right answer. The last 5 questions are the Achievers Section, worth 2 marks each. Below: how the paper is set out, the 9 chapters it draws on, one sample question from each section with its answer, and how to practise it for free.

Paper pattern

ISO Class 4 is set out in 3 sections. Sprinto's mock tests and printed papers follow the same order, counts and marks.

Syllabus: the 9 chapters

Every question on the paper belongs to one of these chapters. On Sprinto's map each chapter is an island, and the Achievers Section is the same chapters asked harder — not a separate topic.

Sample questions with answers

One from each section, taken from Sprinto's own bank for ISO Class 4. In the app the numbers, names and figures are different every time; these are fixed so you can read them.

  1. Sample 1 · Section 1: Logical Reasoning · Logical Reasoning

    Figure

    Answer: (A) 9

    Choose any 2 of the 3 horizontal lines and any 2 of the 3 vertical ones: 3 × 3 = 9.

  2. Sample 2 · Section 2: Science · Our Environment

    Loudspeakers and constant horns causes which kind of pollution?

    Answer: (B) noise pollution

    That is noise pollution: headaches and loss of hearing.

  3. Sample 3 · Section 3: Achievers Section · Earth and Universe · Achievers difficulty

    The Earth has exactly one moon; Mercury and Venus have none, and the outer planets have dozens.

How to practise ISO Class 4 on Sprinto

  • One island per chapter. A hidden rating per chapter picks the next science question at the difficulty that is just hard enough today.
  • Mistakes come back. Anything she gets wrong returns a few days later, then a week, then a month, until it stops being a mistake.
  • Mock tests in the real shape. 35 questions, 3 sections, 60 minutes, marked the moment she hands it in.
  • Papers you can print. A full ISO Class 4 paper with an OMR sheet, sat at the table with a pencil.

Free, with no ads and nothing to buy. A parent signs in with Google once; the child taps her face and starts.
