Where this stands
Is there a paper to download?
No — OlympAI does not publish a practice paper for this exam. SilverZone publishes this paper’s structure, but OlympAI cannot yet place a question in the section the body names: our English topics carry one code for its four subject sections, and its Reading section needs passages we do not hold.

Three things a parent planning revision should take from this table. First, the shape of the paper is the opposite of the shape of the school year: grammar and vocabulary together are 50 of the 100 marks, and reading comprehension — which is essentially all a Class 6 English textbook contains — is 7.5. Second, the Excellence Zone is five questions at 5 marks each: one seventh of the questions carrying a quarter of the paper. Third, 35 questions in 40 minutes is about 69 seconds a question, the same clock SilverZone sets for its science and maths papers. One caution about the body's own pages: the iOEL overview page prints two section lists and labels them "(For Classes III-VI)" and "(For Classes VII-XII)", but its own class-by-class syllabus tables disagree — the list it labels III-VI is what Classes 1 and 2 actually sit, and Class 6 sits the second one, exactly as shown above. Where the two disagree, the class-wise syllabus table is the one to trust, and it is the one this page is built from. A smaller version of the same thing: at Class 6 the fifth section is the Excellence Zone, and from Class 7 the identical slot is renamed the Brilliance Zone.
