What the body's own paper looks like
| Section | Questions | Marks each |
|---|---|---|
| Number Systems | 5 | 2.5 |
| Algebra and Geometry | 5 | 2.5 |
| Comparing Quantities | 5 | 2.5 |
| Mensuration | 2 | 2.5 |
| Data Handling | 3 | 2.5 |
| Reasoning and Aptitude | 10 | 3 |
| Scholar's Zone | 5 | 4 |
| Total | 35 | 100 marks · 40 minutes |
Half of this paper is not Class 8 maths. Reasoning and Aptitude carries 30 marks and the Scholar's Zone another 20 — 50 of the 100, from 15 of the 35 questions. That is a much heavier reasoning load than the same paper at Class 6, where reasoning is 17.5 marks from 5 questions, so a child moving up through iOM meets a different paper rather than a harder one. Mensuration is the thinnest section on the paper at 2 questions, which is worth knowing before spending a fortnight on surface areas.
