Where things
actually stand.
No highlight reel. Just what's solid, what's shaky, and how many days are left before IOQM.
01
Topic mastery
02
80-day plan
Phase 1 — Foundations
Number Theory → AlgebraRebuilding core NT and algebra from first principles before layering on harder problem sets.
Phase 2 — Weak spots
Combinatorics → GeometryDedicated rebuild of combinatorics and geometry — the two topics costing the most marks right now. Working through Evan Chen's EGMO for synthetic technique.
Phase 3 — Simulation
Timed papersFull timed papers and exam-day simulation in the final stretch before Sept 6.
03
Full path

IOQMPrevious attempt: 12 marks. This cycle is about closing the gap in geometry and combinatorics.
