Is my prep sufficient for cracking IOQM ?

I'm in Class XI rn and I've finished 11th syllabus, and done Linear Programming and Matrices & Determinants from 12. I've also practiced Algebra from Hall & Knight and Trigo from S.L Loney. I'm also doing IOQM PYQs along with Mains PYQs. Do I stand a chance of clearing IOQM this year ?

Good Maths Channels for ISI Aspirants

Guys, let's take this initiative together.

The idea is simple: whenever you come across a good math-related channel on any platform (YouTube or any other social media) that could benefit ISI aspirants or young mathematics enthusiasts, drop the link here. I'll maintain a shared document containing all these recommendations and keep updating it over time as you all suggest new resources and as I discover more myself.

We're not just looking for complete courses. Even channels that regularly share interesting mathematical ideas, different ways of thinking, elegant proofs, problem-solving techniques, or thought-provoking insights are valuable. The goal is to build a library of resources that helps us think better, not just study more.

Also, just to clarify, this isn't about promoting creators or channels. What we're really looking for are resources that make you pause and think : channels that offer genuine mathematical insight, a fresh perspective, an elegant idea, or a different way of looking at a problem. Sometimes, a single video or even a single idea can be far more valuable than an entire course.

Need some advice ( pleaseee help 🙏🙏🙏🙏)

Ok so I am prepping for ioqm rn in 10th.

Ny state cutoff is 10 and hence I wanna clear it.

Here's the thing , I have read all the theory but haven't given much time to question practice . Here's what I was thinking to do.

I am gonna solve

  1. all vedante level 7 final assignments

  2. all nmtc past papers

  3. all ioqm past papers

  4. gonna attempt around 16 mocks

Is this enough 🥹 and a good strategy?

I have started my prep a few days ago

Yes i know its very late but whatever. which textbook shoudl i use in this situation, which will be optimal for me? ctpcm, pathfinder etc. i know that most of my time should go into practice and i will be doing that but im sure i need some theory as well. which textbook is the best balance for both of this. I cannot afford to waste any more time.
