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.

The single most useful thing to know about this table is what it does NOT show. Class 6 and Class 7 iOEL have exactly the same section sizes — 12, 8, 3, 7 and 5 questions, at exactly the same marks — so a parent comparing the two years sees an identical paper. The difference is inside the cells: at Class 7, SilverZone names four more topics within the same question count. Reading adds judging the completeness of a process; Writing drops subject and predicate and adds sequence of sentences, question tags and cloze. The paper does not get longer, it gets denser, and the per-question demand rises without anything on the surface saying so. Beyond that: grammar and vocabulary together are 50 of the 100 marks against 7.5 for reading comprehension, which is close to the inverse of how a Class 7 English year is spent; the Brilliance Zone is five questions at 5 marks each, one seventh of the questions carrying a quarter of the paper; and 35 questions in 40 minutes is about 69 seconds a question, the same clock as SilverZone's maths and science papers. One caution about the body's own pages: the iOEL overview prints two section lists labelled "(For Classes III-VI)" and "(For Classes VII-XII)", and its class-wise tables disagree with both. Where they disagree, the class-wise table is the one to trust, and it is the one this page is built from.
