The HKISO is a global science competition held annually for students from Grades 2 to 12. It closely follows the Hong Kong School Science Syllabus and tests what students have learned in their level of content in its four main categories (Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Integrated Science), thus allowing them to know their strengths and weaknesses so they can better prepare for the other categories.
