How to prepare

How to prepare for IMO — International Mathematics Olympiad

01
Plan your study time
Budget roughly 3–4 months with weekly mock tests for IMO — International Mathematics Olympiad. Block fixed daily sessions rather than occasional long ones — spaced, consistent practice retains far better than cramming.
02
Start with the official material
Work from the official syllabus or study guide first so you know exactly what is in scope and how each area is weighted. The "Official source" block below links to the exam authority.
03
Build a practice cadence
Drill your weakest topics two to three times a week using focused practice, then sit one full, timed mock each week. Review every wrong answer immediately and write down the rule or concept you missed.
04
Watch the common pitfalls
Studying passively by re-reading instead of solving previous-year papers, and neglecting presentation/answer-structure that the marking scheme rewards.
05
The final 7 days
Stop learning new material and switch to consolidation: full timed mocks, a one-page sheet of high-frequency facts you keep slipping on, and a calm sleep schedule. Aim to be comfortably above the pass mark on mocks before test day.
06
Exam-day logistics
Reach the exam hall well before reporting time with your admit card and a transparent pouch of permitted stationery. Read the full paper in the reading time, attempt the questions you are surest of first, and keep a strict per-section time budget.
