Olympiad Target

Build your next skill.

A course for Class 9 and 10 students who enjoy mathematics and science and want contest style problem solving. It builds the habits that olympiad papers reward: reducing a big number to a residue, using identities instead of long multiplication, counting without heavy formulas, and reasoning in physics, chemistry and biology with units and conditions in view. The last chapter covers multiple choice traps and time boxes. What you will cover: • Number theory habits: residues, last digit cycles, Euclid's algorithm, divisor counts • Algebra shortcuts: identities, difference of squares, small inequalities • Early geometry: triangle angles, Pythagorean triples, scale, circles and polygons • Counting before formulas: multiplication principle, arrangements, choices, pigeonholes • Physics, chemistry and biology reasoning with units attached • Multiple choice traps, time boxes and expected value of a guess This course is a general preparation course. It is not tied to one named olympiad, and syllabi and patterns differ by exam and year, so check the official brochure of the olympiad you plan to take. Each of the 8 chapters has a practice test that draws 10 fresh questions per attempt from a tagged bank of 20, with unlimited retakes.

Take away something useful.

• Reduce large numbers with residues and last digit cycles
• Use identities and AM-GM to avoid long calculations
• Recognise Pythagorean triples and angle facts
• Count with products, arrangements and complements
• Reason in physics and chemistry with units and moles
• Avoid multiple choice traps and time sinks

Everything you get.
