Every participating student who appears in the SOF conducted IMO exam is given a Student Performance Report (SPR) which is a detailed assessment of how the student performed in the level 1 Olympiad exam.

This is generated to enable the student to understand their areas of strengths and weakness in absolute terms and more so on a competitive scale comprising millions of students of their respective class who appeared for the Olympiad.
