AIQ Challenge ยท Grades 3โ€“4

Where More Than One Answer Can Be Right

Children this age are used to questions having a single correct answer. AIQ deliberately asks ones that do not, and rewards the child who can say why they chose theirs.

At this level

What Grades 3โ€“4 are asked to do

The capabilities are the same across every band. How they are put to a child is not.

  • Comparing two reasonable answers and picking one on purpose
  • Spotting the assumption hidden inside a question
  • Making something better after being told what did not work

Questions

What parents of Grades 3โ€“4 students ask

How is this different from a school Olympiad?

School Olympiads test a subject faster and harder. AIQ tests how a child thinks when there is no subject to fall back on.

Can my child prepare?

Not by memorising. Preparation resources focus on getting comfortable with open questions rather than rehearsing answers.
