[@caspermadlener4191]

When I went to the IMO, I scored 37 points, getting a perfect score on the first day, and a total percentile score of 97%, the highest ever in the Netherlands. Easily made the mark for a gold medal. So, would I have made it in the Chinese team? No! The entire Chinese team got perfect scores on both days, totalling at 42 points each. Ten people in the world got a perfect score, six of them were Chinese. If the competition was China v.s. the rest of the world, China would have won. Crazy to think about.

Hey bro i wanna go to the IMO. Can you help me? Not trying to come out as boastful but i think i have the potential but i dont have the resources for it

[@caspermadlener4191]

@@Hatdog-ee9iw I first learned about the IMO from my math book, and my school had the official Dutch guide with strategies and problems. I don't know whether these guides exist in English, but I guess most schools have some resources for this. If they don't, you should urge them to buy these, so other people will be able to use these as well. I have never read an English Olympiad guide, so I have no idea which of these are worth using.

[@Hatdog-ee9iw]

I cannot urge my school to buy the resources needed as i am not in the position to tell them to. Can you refer me to the books you used even if its not english? Also do you think if i buy a lot of math books i can get there?

How do you train for IMO or gold medal in national math olimpyad?

[@danmimis4576]

@@gianluca4893 Back when I was in high school it was a special math class for the best students at math. Then those who qualified for IMO were trained in a special school. Now it's easier: you can learn all you need online, although I'm sure that there are still special schools.

[@forthehomies7043]

What point are you trying to make with this comment?

[@user-yg31415]

If you meant top-scorer as someone who scored perfect 42, there are multiple people who did that. Did the Romanian participated 3 or more times all with perfect scores? I know for sure there is a Chinese student who participated twice and scored 42 on both occasions.

[@danmimis4576]

@@user-yg31415 Yes. I can't post URLs here, so this is in Wikipedia (check for International Mathematical Olympiad): "Ciprian Manolescu (Romania) managed to write a perfect paper (42 points) for gold medal more times than anybody else in the history of the competition, doing it all three times he participated in the IMO (1995, 1996, 1997)"

I wonder why India doesn’t catch up, they have just as many people to pull from.

[@curious_banda]

Because colleges in India regard Olympiads as a non entity. You wasted your time on Olympiads? Too bad bro you can't get admission here. Businesses are too busy hoodwinking people for entrance exams. And mathematics doesn't pay much, so that also makes the Olympiad seem like a waste of time.

[@magisterialanubis06]

because the math of the imo isn't useful for the entrances to colleges. Unlike China, where doing well in olympiads guarantees admission to the best colleges, the same isnt true in India. On the other hand, India does quite well in the physics olympiad since the syllabus for the entrances is the same. Also, the Chinese are harder working i guess
