UCO: syllabus, mock tests and practice
UCO is Unified Council's computer-and-reasoning olympiad for Classes 2 to 10. Besides computer knowledge it tests mental ability (maths), logical reasoning and a little English, so it suits children who enjoy puzzles as well as computers. Every participant gets a free Cyber Diagnostic Report.
