Lakhs of Class 6 students across India appear for Olympiad examinations conducted by the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) and other bodies every year. These competitive exams test reasoning, application, and conceptual understanding - going beyond what's covered in regular school tests.

|---|---|---|
| IMO (International Mathematics Olympiad) | Mathematical reasoning & problem-solving | Maths Olympiad Class 6 |
| NSO (National Science Olympiad) | Science concepts aligned with school curriculum | Science Olympiad Class 6 |

The ICSE Class 6 syllabus is more detailed and subject-specific compared to CBSE. Science is taught as separate disciplines - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology - even at this level, and Social Studies is divided into History & Civics and Geography. This makes access to the right study material particularly important.
For English, the Gul Mohar series published by Frank Brothers is widely used in ICSE and private schools. Students can access Gul Mohar Class 6: Book Solutions, Summaries & Worksheets on EduRev for detailed chapter help.
