Participants are encouraged to seek out past olympiad papers, which are available for free online, specifically from both UK and US sources, to better prepare for the competition.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanics and thermodynamics concepts
  • Familiarity with Resnick Halliday and Irodov Problems
  • Knowledge of IIT JEE exam format and problem types
  • Basic research skills to locate online resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research and download past physics olympiad papers from UK and US sources
  • Explore advanced problem-solving books specifically designed for olympiad preparation
  • Join online forums or study groups focused on physics olympiad preparation
  • Practice with mock tests that simulate the olympiad experience
USEFUL FOR

High school students, particularly those in class 11, aspiring to excel in physics olympiads, as well as educators seeking resources to guide their students in advanced physics problem-solving.

i am in class 11 and have recently completed my mechanics and thermodynamics.
i want to participate in physics olympiad .i used resnick halliday ,irodov problems and iitjee related books.but the problems that come up at olympiads are typically harder than the problems in those books.
so is there any book for problems that would be helpful for me.
