FAQs on IEO English Olympiad Online Mock Test For Class 12
1. How to balance studying for the board exam, entrance exam, and the Olympiad?
2. Apart from mock tests for Class 12, are there any other resources available at Vedantu?
Ans: Solving mock tests is definitely helpful in order to get a good score in the Olympiad and improve your chances of qualifying for the next level. However, in order to get to a stage where you can solve the mock tests in a good way, you are going to have to refer to other study materials along the journey. To begin with, there is of course the textbook NCERT that you can follow, and then you can leave it over to the experts at Vedantu, who have prepared specialised revision or summary notes, articles explaining the syllabus, the detailed paper pattern, and more.
3. After students have solved all the mock tests, can they consider their preparation for the exam complete for the IEO?
Ans: When it comes to appearing for any language paper, it is a never ending process and there is always scope for students to learn new words, phrases, proverbs and use them all on a daily basis. That being said, once the student has appeared for all the mock tests present on the official website, assuming they’ve done so honestly and secured good grades in them all, students can then definitely feel confident about the exam and call their preparation fully complete. They should however make sure they don't become complacent and lose focus in the final days of preparation. Constant revision, analysing where you’ve made mistakes earlier and fixing them, learning new words should always be on your list, regardless of how well you’ve done in the mock tests.
4. Is there a limit on the number of times you can appear for the English Olympiad?
Ans: There are some students who might have appeared for the Olympiad exam even before the 12th standard and might be wondering if the organising body has any restrictions as to the number of times one can appear for the International English Olympiad. There is absolutely no restriction when it comes to the number of times you can give the exam, and students wanting to give the exam in Class 12 can certainly do so even if they have participated in it before; once or more than once, in the previous standards.
5. How to manage time while attempting the IEO Class 12 exam?
Ans: As you may already know, the paper pattern consists of a total of 50 questions that are to be solved in 60 minutes. Assuming that you give around 10 minutes to check your answers and mark them in the OMR sheet you are left with only about one minute to answer a single question. Here are some tips to manage time:
Reading the question quickly but thoroughly along with the options.
Eliminate the incorrect ones immediately once you spot them.
Circling in on one answer and trying to see if it fits well in the context (works especially well for fill in the blanks)
If at all you are stuck in two minds, lightly mark both those options and move on, solve the rest of the paper and come back to it only after you're done solving the others.
6. How can students improve their vocabulary to score better marks in the IEO?
Ans: Being strong with your vocabulary can work wonders in helping you clear the first level of the Olympiad for Class 12th. A few things you can do in order to build upon your vocabulary are:
Reading the newspaper every single day and constantly keep looking for new words you don't know the meaning of.
Get a dedicated Olympiad vocabulary sheet/workbook.
Watch Hollywood films with subtitles on and also listen to music carefully paying attention to the lyrics.
Try to learn at least 4 to five new words every day.
