SOF IGKO — last-minute checklist
Built from the SOF International General Knowledge Olympiad records on our exam tracker. Every date carries its source tier: official (the conducting body's own site), reported (not yet checked against an official notice — verify it) or expected (a typical-cycle estimate, not an announcement). Your admit card and the official notice always win.

- 🕘 Timings / reporting, tracker row for 3 Nov (reported): Schools select one of three dates · no key published for this stage
🎒 What to carry
- Admit card or centre letter, if your olympiad issues one — many olympiads held at your own school do not; check your school notice
- Identity proof: a school identity card or the photo ID your admit card or school notice names — ask the school if unsure
- Phones, smartwatches and calculators are generally not allowed in the exam room — follow your admit card or school notice
- Reporting time: it is on your admit card or school notice — reach before it
- Pen or pencil: the OMR sheet's instructions say which (ballpoint pen or HB pencil) — check your admit card or school notice
- Transparent water bottle, sanitiser or a simple wrist watch: allowed at some exams and banned at others — check your admit card before you pack
🔎 varies by exam — check your admit card or notice. The night before: no new topics, and sleep.
