English Olympiad for Class 4

Your fourth-grader can win international recognition by participating in the CREST English Olympiad Exam. This test evaluates real skills through practical questions, improves reading speed, and enhances writing quality.

CREST Olympiads conducts the English Olympiad for class 4 students. Only online English Olympiad exam is conducted for grade 4. The CREST English Olympiad (CEO) exam intends to improve the kids' English language skills, like grammar, spelling, sentence structure, vocabulary, and much more.

a. Every Class 4 child can apply for the English Olympiad for class 4, wherever they live and whichever board their school follows, be it CBSE, ICSE, IB or a State Board.

b. Parents can register a child directly online. Schools can also enrol a whole group; CREST has worked with 6000+ schools since it began in 2019.

c. On exam day your child works without help at a computer or tablet at home, with the webcam on and a screen of more than 11.5 inches. The CREST FAQ warns that using a phone or any other electronic device, or letting another person access the test, can lead to disqualification.

d. There are two levels, and Level 1 decides who moves on. Children in the top 55.56% of Class 4 Level 1 takers go through to Level 2, and a school that enters more than 25 Class 4 students also sends its top 3 school-registered students.

e. Before paying, you can try the free trial test, a replica of the main exam, to check the setup.

1. Sentences that hold together. Jumbled Words and Contractions are on the Class 4 list, along with conjunctions and punctuation. Questions like these train a child to put a sentence in the right order and finish it correctly.

2. Vocabulary that keeps growing. One Class 4 reviewer describes CREST as a platform where children can learn something new about words and improve their vocabulary.

3. Room to think. Another Class 4 testimonial says the Olympiad lets children practise and explore what they know, and helps develop creative thinking.

4. Recognition that lasts. Medals, merit certificates and international trophies are based on Level 2, and every participant gets a digital certificate for the year.

The Class 4 English Olympiad syllabus is where this list comes from; every Section 1 topic is shown in its official order:

• Collocations
• Spellings
• Words (Related to Animals, Household Things, Clothes, Basic Emotions, Food, Animals, etc.)
• Synonyms
• Antonyms
• Nouns
• Pronouns
• Verbs
• Adverbs
• Adjectives
• Contractions
• Articles
• Prepositions
• Conjunctions
• Tenses
• Punctuations
• Jumbled Words
• Basic Questions
• Information Retrieval from Various Text and Image (Stories, Anecdotes, Pictures, Time-table Format, Messages, Invitations etc.)
• Spoken and Written Expressions (Apology, Greetings, Introduction, Request, etc.)

After these twenty topics comes the Achievers Section, ten two-mark Higher Order Thinking Questions set on the list above.

What has changed since Class 3? The weight shifts back towards sentence building. Jumbled Words joins the list, Contractions returns after a year away (it was in Class 2 but not Class 3), and the list says Tenses instead of Simple Tenses. Homophones, Gender, Number, Proverbs and One Word are not in the Class 4 list, while Synonyms and Antonyms continue as two separate topics and Information Retrieval now covers both text and images.

The paper itself is unchanged from Class 3: 35 questions in 60 minutes for 45 marks, and Level 2 matches Level 1. Note how the marks are split. The Achievers Section is only 10 questions, yet at 2 marks each it carries 20 of the 45 marks. Wrong answers lose nothing.

The exam dates for CREST English Olympiad (CEO) for Class 4 for the Academic year 2026-27 are as given below:

Note: Check Olympiad exam dates for other CREST Olympiads subjects as well.

The exam fee is INR 275 for students studying and enrolling from India. For students studying and residing outside of India, the fee is USD 15.

Give Class 4 preparation about six to eight weeks, with 30-minute sessions on most days. At this age a child can do a set of questions independently and check the answers before you look.

Sentence work comes first. Cut sentences into word cards and rebuild them. Rewrite a paragraph using contractions (it is, we will, they are), then expand them again. Fill in conjunctions such as because, but and so. For tenses, take one verb and write it in the past, present and future. For reading, use real material: a class timetable, a picture story, a party invitation. Keep a synonyms-and-antonyms list going all term.

After the sentence work, your child can move to the class 4 English Olympiad sample papers. One CREST student who took International Rank 3 in the Class 4 English Olympiad liked to get ahead of school, learning each topic before it was taught in class and working through the books with confidence (see the Hall of Fame profile). Reading a chapter ahead in the school English book is an easy habit to borrow.

On pacing, a Class 4 child has roughly 1 minute 43 seconds for each question, since 35 questions share 60 minutes. The 10 Achievers questions carry 2 marks each, so do not rush them. Take the free trial test a week or two before the exam.

The CREST English workbook has chapter-wise explanations and questions for each topic. Olympiad Success, CREST's official preparation partner and an online Olympiad trainer, has more preparation material.

Following the completion of the English Olympiad, the cut-off is announced. The cut-off is a set of minimum marks that students must get in order to pass the exam. Students who achieve a score equal to or more than the published cutoff are regarded to have passed the exam. Students can access the official website to learn more about the class 4 English cut-off & rankings.

CREST Olympiads has made guessing the score before the actual results easy by preparing an answer key list that is released after the actual examination. This answer key offers students with the correct answers to the questions asked in the English Olympiad for class 4. The answer key by CREST Olympiads is generally out within one week of the test. These answer key dates are easily available on the website’s exam schedule page.

Around a month after the last answer key date, the Class 4 results go up on the dashboard, ready to open with your registered login.

Level 1 is the qualifying round: clear its cut-off and your child sits Level 2, where the awards are decided.

The medals follow the CREST awards table. Gold needs a percentile of 96 or more, or a zonal rank no worse than 10; silver is the 93 to 96 range and bronze 90 to 93. The top 3 school-registered students in a school with more than 25 students in a class also receive gold medals as school ranks. International Ranks 1 to 3 get an Achiever's Trophy and a Merit Certificate.

Medals and trophies are delivered to the school or home address given at registration, so make sure that address is correct.

Once the excitement settles, sit down with the answer key and the score together and pick one topic to strengthen before Class 5.
