Let's delete those comments first

Done

What's your favourite?

In math?

Rn it's algebra ig

You?

hi guys

this a new channel?

@Sahaj yes

Yez

Yes

@aqualubix calc, graphing, visualisation

How old are you?

Oh I see

I'm a first year at a uni; I tried CMI last year but missed it by 2 marks

I'm trying again this year

ISI?

You both are elder to me

im going back to the kids zone

Tried that too. Missed it by a few marks because my friend who got barely above me got in

Don't know the exact marks tho because they don't publisj

Lmao how old are you

@Sahaj

I’m still in 10th

Best of luck for your new attempt

Any tips for me?

ISI/CMI?

I think the biggest tip I can give is to not panic during the exam

Did you see CMI 2023?

In the polynomials question, part 2 follows from part 1 easily using rational root theorem

But during the exam I forgot you can attempt part 2 even if you didn't do part 1

And I missed 4 marks there

No, I am looking through 2022 today, 2023 tommorow

Alr

And do lots of sample.papers

And pyqs

Also do lots of Olympiad questions

Really? So I can just like use part 1 as already proved?

Yes

If a question has more than one part

And you aren't able to solve previous parts

You may still assume the previous parts

To prove the next parts

Olympiad=IMO right?

Very important to keep in mind as in isi/CMI many questions have several parts

And the parts are closely linked many timss

Yes you can try IMO but for isi/cmi inmo is closer

In terms of difficulty

Say I have a question, I know I need a lemma, but can’t prove it. Can I assume its proved to get partial marks?

Also attempt Putnam

I have tried IMO papers, can’t get past question 1 or 2

Yeah, you can quote the lemma and use it but you might not get full marks

Is that the level of CMI?

It varies

Hm

Putnam A1 and B1 tend to be around CMI level

A2,B2,A3,B3 etc tend to be INMO level

The rest would be IMO level

Ok…

So what IMO problems have you solved?

As for putnam I only saw that 3b1b video you know…

Yeah, but Putnam A1 and B1 are surprisingly approachable

This year's Putnam was especially easy

Alr I gotta go

‘Kay

Bye

I meant last year's Putnam lol

Aight bye

Gd night
