Presenting Olympiad Skill Development System
Why OSDS is necessary even if you have Workbooks
and Previous Years’ Papers
Whereas workbooks and previous years’ papers are necessary for the basic level of preparation,
OSDS is at advanced level because of the following features: FFFOOORRR LLLEEEVVVEEELLL -- 111
(cid:31) Identical pattern: It is a digital product, hence you get updated at the eleventh hour with all
information to match the current pattern.
(cid:31) At par with the standard of the questions: Level of difficulty is near to actual paper.
(cid:31) OMR answer sheet: Updated OMR sheets are provided to let students develop excellent exam
taking skills.
(cid:31) Exam like environment: Solutions are not provided with questions hence, students are forced to
attempt questions as if they are appearing for exam. FOOORRR LLLEEEVVVEEELLL--111 aaannnddd LLLEEEVVVEEELLL-2
(cid:31) Reduces surprises and anxiety: Students are better prepared with OSDS and thus reduces
surprises and anxiety.
(cid:31) Detailed answers: Detailed explanations are provided. This helps in deriving the correct answer.
(cid:31) Time management: Practising question papers at par with the difficulty level of actual exam
helps in managing time during exam.
Our scientific system can help your child perform FOOORRR LLLEEEVVVEEELLL--111 aaannnddd LLLEEEVVVEEELLL-2
better and score higher.
