Unique 5 Q Report
Based on the different varieties of questions in the Examination paper we have introduced ‘Five Indicators’ which are
- Knowledge Quotient (KQ)
- Understanding Ability Quotient (UAQ)
- Reasoning and Analytical ability Quotient (RAQ)
- Problem Solving Skill Quotient (PSQ)
- Awareness and Vision Quotient (AVQ)
- A comprehensive analysis and inferences based on the different combination numbers of the above five Qs’ will be given for every student. This is first of its kind in the history of Olympiad Examinations in our country.
