im age of 40 can i participate exam pls tell me procedure
Hello,
You have tagged IEO which is international english olympaid,it's conducted from 1st standard to 12th standard students at two levels, those who qualify the first level are eligible for second level which is for 3rd to 12th standard students only, to know more details regarding this, visit our page at https://school.careers360.com/exams/ieo , in case your query is for something else you can write down the same in the comment box below.
sir my roll number is OD0413-08-D-059.In my IEO paper , set C, I have done question 21: option D and question 23: option B. but in my SPR you have written other option and cut my marks. My actual score must be 36 but you have given 34. Please correct it and if l am in 3rd after it give me medal
Shakti, there can be various reasons behind why some other answer is marked in the SPR other than what you think you marked. One reason could be that you might have solved the question correctly but marked another option in the OMR sheet by mistake. Otherwise you might not have bubbled the OMR correctly and that's why some other option was read as the answer marked by you.
SOF does not allow rechecking of papers as the answers are not corrected manually but by the machine. So I am sorry but the result you received would most probably be final. Although if you still wish to contact them, you can email your query on their official email ID: info@sofworld.org or result@sofworld.org
