Practice Regularly: Practice is the linchpin of success in the IMO. Dedicate time each day to solving mathematical problems. Begin with problems from your study materials and gradually incorporate previous IMO papers into your routine. Consistency is key, and as you progress, increase the complexity of the problems you tackle

Join Practice Previous Year Papers Classes: Participating in classes or study groups focused on practicing previous year’s IMO papers is a crucial aspect of your preparation. These classes are often organized by experienced mentors or fellow students who have a deep understanding of the exam format and question types. Solving past papers not only familiarizes you with the style and difficulty level of IMO questions but also helps you fine-tune your problem-solving skills and time management.
