Strategizing Your Preparation for Math Olympiad Class 3 (Levels 1 & 2)

  1. Solidify Core Arithmetic Skills
    Build lightning-fast calculation ability by drilling addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts daily. Use flashcards or mental-math apps to boost both speed and precision.
  2. Dissect Previous Olympiad Papers
    Study past Level 1 and Level 2 exams to recognize recurring question types and difficulty spikes. Annotate each problem—note shortcuts you discover and flag areas that required extra time.
  3. Train Your Logical Reasoning
    Incorporate age-appropriate brainteasers, pattern-finding puzzles, and basic geometry challenges into your study routine. These exercises sharpen the analytical mindset needed for non-routine Olympiad questions.
  4. Simulate Real Exam Conditions
    Schedule full-length practice tests on a timer, replicating the exact exam window. This hones your pacing instincts, minimizes stress on the big day, and highlights which sections consume too much time.
  5. Implement Continuous Feedback Loops
    After every mock test, review wrong answers immediately: pinpoint conceptual gaps, revisit those topics in your notes, then retest yourself on just those problem areas each week. Consistent revision turns weaknesses into strengths.
