The discussion revolves around preparation strategies for the Physics Olympiad, focusing on resources, study techniques, and problem-solving approaches. Participants share their experiences and suggestions for effective study methods and materials.
Participants generally agree on the importance of understanding concepts and practicing problems, but there is no consensus on specific resources or methods, as suggestions vary.
Some suggestions may depend on individual learning styles and the specific requirements of different Physics Olympiads.
Students preparing for Physics Olympiads, educators seeking resources for their students, and anyone interested in competitive physics problem-solving.
Do you have any recomended books or websites maybe? Anyway thanks for your adviceQuantumQuest said:Apart from having a very good grasp of the concepts you've learned so far and having solved a great deal of problems, you have to think "out of the box". It is a good idea, to take a look at what have been asked in Physics Olympiads the previous years and there are good books and web resources to do it.
Thanks man :)QuantumQuest said:For International Physics Olympiads take a look here: http://www.ipho.org/.
For some problems and solutions of some previous years: http://ipho.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/problems-and-solutions_5.html. Also, there is this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/981455667X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 from Japan Olympiads and you can find exercises and answers from various countries physics Olympiads all over the web.
