About the Olympiad
The SilverZone Reasoning and Aptitude exam is designed to help students assess their reasoning and aptitude skills. This exam is an annual event that evaluates students’ abilities in various areas such as analytical reasoning, logical reasoning, numerical aptitude, spatial reasoning, and verbal reasoning.
The exam is based on the curriculum provided by CBSE, ICSE, and State Boards. Apart from the curriculum, the iRAO exam also includes applied reasoning questions that test students’ problem-solving abilities. By taking this exam, students can discover their strengths and weaknesses in different reasoning and aptitude domains.
This Olympiad is crucial for students in every grade as it allows them to identify their true potential, assisting them in selecting a career path that is best suited to their abilities. By strengthening their positive attributes and working on their negative ones, students can achieve their full potential and reach their goals.

The exam helps students to hone their cognitive skills and become more confident in their abilities to solve problems.
