I am a student from India i just finished my class 10 exams . I want to appear in IPHO 2014 and IPHO 2015 . So let me tell you what preparations i have done uptill now .
I read all the theory and solved almost all problems from resnick/halliday's FOP
I am solving problems from IE IRODOV ( i solved abt 200 till now )...and SS krotov ( abt 50 solved ) .
I have collected national olympiad papers of US,INDIA,CANADA,ENGLAND and AUSTRALIA
i have also collected theory papers from APho and IPho ( 2000 - 2012 )

So in India like other countries the first two rounds has only theory papers . I should say i am confident in clearing those two rounds . The third round however has experimental tests which i don't have any knowledge about nor can i solve experimental problems .
My school neither has a good lab nor good teachers .

I want to know how i can learn to solve the experimental problems in Physics Olympiad . Please help...

I never went to IPhO or did a physics olympiad in my country, but I guess it should be based on the IPhO practical tests. Why not take a look?
