Who has cleared PRMO , RMO AND INMO
Answers
Answer:
These are some benefits I can think of:
You get a chance to write INMO and if your hard work pays off, you can even get a chance to represent India in IMO.
You are among very few students of your region who has cleared a very challenging paper. So you get bragging rights. :P
While studying for INMO many candidates meet their first love…Maths. What did you think? ;)
You get a very solid point to write on your resume.
And most importantly you get respect from people who know how difficult it is to qualify RMO.
so work hard and be in the list. :)
All the best!!
Answer:
Let me make it clear, RMO and stuffs are not those bs school exams or SoF or Silverzone and whatever other fake olympiads. So, unlike thse examinations, RMO/INMO have no specific syllabus. And it is quite reasonable, as you will never know enough. There is not just one way to approach a problem in math, everyone has his own perspective towards a problem, so a problem which i will do in 4 pages, someone will do it in four lines, while some may not do it at all. The main thing about these problems is that you require a motivation to proceed, and must have a clear insight. Simply memorizing theory will not do unlike those fake (so called)olympiads. RMO/INMO contains problems, not mere exercises and thats what makes it special.
Say, you and a mathematics teacher are attempting math. So, when you both are given problems on higher algebra or analysis, the teacher will obviously be the first to finish(assuming that you are no IMOer or similar) , and yes, you have no discredit even if you do not solve it, such problems are different and you need the correct theory required to approach, which you may be lacking. But same is not true when you both are given a typical olympiad problem, and thats the main anwer to your question - these problems require more intuition than theory, even you can solve problems with minimal theory mugging.
But, of course, we are no superhumans to discover each and every theory ourselves and use it to solve problems, so we definitely need to study theory, but only after sufficiently mastering one topic when you come across it.
So, in a nutshell, there is definitely no definite time period in which you can complete your preparation. Have you ever heard of someone who is an IMO perfect scorer, or IMO medallist, who immediately after winning the medal stopped studying math? No one will do that. Because those who are really aspirants to IMO or INMO for the least, study math for fun, not for clearing a specific exam tier - like “Oh this is RMO so i will not require PHP so much so this much is enough” just to save your time, but beware - this is the biggest trap… Take your time, even if you are in 12th, never jump, follow a good procedure, understand each topic completely, make your concepts clear, and do not think about time. If you are really capable, you definitely will reach high!
