So I have decided to participate in the IPHO in the upcoming years. I searched online but I don't seem to be getting any help on how I should prepare and what books I need to refer to.

So please, could you guide me on which books I should refer to for IPHO?

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
