Ans: When candidates tie with the same ranks, SOF follows tie-breaking criteria. The final rank is decided after going through section-wise scores of the students.  The priority is given to the Achiever’s section. Following that marks of the Word & Structure Knowledge section are checked. If students have the same marks in this section as well, then marks of the Reading section are evaluated. Lastly, marks of the Spoken & Written Expression are tallied. For more information, sample papers, mock tests and study materials students can visit Vedantu.
