I have applied for this year's Astronomy Olympiad to be held on 28th November, 2010. I am 17 and study in my 12th grade.

Now, I have just bought a Physics Olympiad book. Now, the problem is that I only have 9 days to prepare myself for the exam. Can anyone suggest on how should I go on to study for the Olympiad?

I know I can do it in 9 days, but can you help me by giving me some tips or a time-table for studying? Thanks

Cmon guys! I really need your help.
 
I would say don't bother with ASTRONOMY olympiads. Focus on Mathematical ones.
