Further, I want to reply to your query about Olympiad or asset exams. Olympiad exams are very useful to identify students ability and increase their analytical, logical and problem-solving skills so that they will be prepared for competitive exams. For the preparation of Olympiad exams, there are many websites available which provide resources free or on a paid basis. Besides, upon registration for an Olympiad exam for a subject SOF or Unified Council also provide resource material. You can buy books for Olympiad from Amazon or Flipkart also.
