can we have a special area for physics olympiad discussion and problem collection(like problem papers of ipho, apho and usapho)?
azureth said:also how about raising a kind of weekly problem set or somehing like that for olympiad

We frequently get such question on why such-and-such does not have a forum to itself.
Let's me give you this fact for you to consider. Condensed matter physics is the LARGEST sub-division in physics, and in fact, can easily be argued as the largest subtopic in physics. Still, do you see a forum solely dedicated to this subject area? Go take a look around. It shares the subforum with Atomic/molecular physics, and computational physics! Imagine that! Even a subject area that is the LARGEST in the field of physics does not have a forum all to itself!
So already, the argument of importance, of significance, and of size has no bearing on a subject matter getting its own forum. What is more important are (i) frequency of the topic being posted (ii) the level of SUSTAINED interest in that topic (iii) the number of regular members participating in that topic. It is of no point to create a forum for a topic just because ... There has to be an online demand for it in this forum that can justify such a creation.
So forget what you think about the subject matter in general. Do you think your topic qualifies in all the 3 criteria to justify the creation of its own forum? Do you think the posting frequency matches that of, say, the posting frequency in the Relativity forum?

To quote myself in one of the threads that I linked to:
Zz.
The College Board posts about 10 years worth of AP Physics free-response questions. I'm not sure, but they are probably similar in format to Olympiad questions. The links are posted below; once you're at a page, just click "All Questions" under any of the years that are listed.azureth said:Could you please offer me more website on physics problems. I have to admit there are a great number of maths problems on the Internet, but what I want is physics problems. Thanks a lot.
The Physics Olympiad is an international competition for high school students that tests their knowledge and skills in physics. It is organized by the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) and held annually in different countries.
To participate in the Physics Olympiad, you must first be selected by your country's national physics olympiad committee. This usually involves taking a series of exams and demonstrating your knowledge and skills in physics. If you are selected, you will then represent your country in the international competition.
The Physics Olympiad covers a wide range of topics in physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. The competition also includes both theoretical and experimental components, so participants must have a strong understanding of both concepts and practical applications.
To prepare for the Physics Olympiad, you should have a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts in physics and how to apply them to solve problems. It is also helpful to practice with past competition questions and participate in training camps or workshops. Additionally, reading physics textbooks and staying updated on current research in the field can also be beneficial.
Participating in the Physics Olympiad can provide numerous benefits, including improving your problem-solving skills, developing a deeper understanding of physics concepts, and gaining international recognition for your achievements. It can also open up opportunities for further education and careers in physics and other related fields.
