KISD OLYMPIAD s skills and concepts underlying the curriculum as opposed to facts and procedures learnt by rote and drill. We have evolved a common curriculum framework after studying the content of different national and international boards. This helps us to have a single set of questions is relevant to all students, irrespective of their board – and provides insightful diagnostic information about critical concepts and 21st century skills. Also, you may notice that most questions provide needed information, and recall is rarely. This helps the student to answer the question even if he has not done something similar in the class, as long as he is able to approach the question logically and analytically.

If children learn their fundamentals and concepts with understanding, they develop a strong foundation of confidence. This confidence increases their ability to work hard and perform well in stressful situations like the board exams. On the other hand, memorization increases the load on the student, especially when the quantum of topics in the syllabus increases. This leads to increased stress, fear, loss of confidence, and a general dislike for learning and exams in general. So the performance in the board exams becomes a function of a child’s memory, stress level, and the nature and quantum of questions. Besides, memorization does not help in the later stages, when children have to attempt competitive exams. Competitive exams do not content, but skills and aptitude. So, keeping track of your child’s development in terms of understanding and skills will help the child in the long run.

Our research has shown that the number of questions under each skill in a KISD OLYMPIAD, is statistically sufficient, to be able to judge the strengths and weaknesses with a high degree of confidence. Carefully crafted Multiple Choice Questions are well suited to determine if the child has understood a concept. This is because each wrong option is carefully framed to capture common student misconceptions and errors. A great amount of rigor goes into making each of these questions to ensure their quality and their ability to diagnose specific skills.

While every child and every school is unique, and comparison may have its limitations, KISD OLYMPIAD provides useful benchmarks that allow students, parents, teachers, and principals to see where they stand with respect to thousands of others. For example, students receive a percentile score which shows them where they stand with respect to their peers across the other schools. Teachers can see how students of their class performed on a particular skill or question in companion with all students across the other schools. And schools can see where each class or section stands with respect to the all-schools average. These are just some examples- KISD OLYMPIAD provides many other kinds of benchmarking information.
