INTERNATIONAL REASONING & APTITUDE OLYMPIAD (IRAO)

International Reasoning and Aptitude Olympiad (iRAO)

The SilverZone Reasoning and Aptitude exam is to ascertain a student’s genuine potential in order to help them choose the best professional path.

The iRAO allows students to showcase their thinking skills and aptitude abilities. Along with reasoning skills, mathematics, and language, it also examines your thinking skills. The iRAO assists you in determining your areas of strength and where you are lacking so that you can be directed towards your career goals.
