SOF IHO — Frequently asked questions

Is Shishya free for SOF IHO preparation?
Yes. Every SOF IHO mock test, PYQ-pattern paper and study tool on Shishya is completely free — no subscription and no credit card. Questions are written with AI to follow each exam's syllabus topics on Shishya, and re-checked whenever a student reports one.

Are SOF IHO previous year question papers available?
Shishya has free SOF IHO previous year paper practice: PYQ-pattern papers covering 2021–2025 (5 years) — questions freshly worded in the pattern of each year's paper, not the paper itself; each year's page shows how many questions it holds against the real paper's count.

Official sample papers

Free sample papers Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) publishes on its own site for the 2026-27 exam. They are the body's own practice papers, not previous years' papers. Each link opens the body's own file.
