AIQ Challenge ยท Grades 9โ€“10

Open Problems, Real Constraints

By this stage the challenges resemble the kind of problem an adult is actually paid to solve: under-specified, constrained, and with no answer key.

At this level

What Grades 9โ€“10 are asked to do

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

  • Structuring a problem that arrives without structure
  • Working within constraints instead of ignoring them
  • Producing something a stranger could evaluate on its merits

Questions

What parents of Grades 9โ€“10 students ask

Does this help with board exam preparation?

No, and it does not claim to. AIQ measures a different thing from a board exam, and we would rather say so plainly.

Is there anything to show for it afterwards?

Recognition and certification details will be published here once confirmed.
