IMO can be said to be the highest level of Olympiad. If you want to participate, you must pass dozens of exams such as "National Senior High School Mathematics League", provincial training team, national mathematics winter camp, national training team and national team. The requirements are very strict, and the requirements for the individual mathematical talents of the players are also very high. You can't achieve success by hard work alone.
Specifically, the first level is the "National Senior High School Mathematics League" held every year 10. It is divided into two parts: initial test and additional test, with 65,438+050 points for each part, and ***300 points out of 100 points 100 points. The initial test lasted 65,438+000 minutes, and the additional test lasted 65,438+020 minutes, which were conducted in the same morning without rest. The content of the initial test is high school. Like our usual exams, there are multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions and solutions, and the difficulty of the questions is relatively small. There are only three big questions in the extra test, each with 50 points. The content of the exam is generally: the first question is plane geometry; The second question is the inequality problem of combining high school knowledge; The content of the third question is more complicated, which is a synthesis of number theory, graph theory, discrete mathematics and other related issues of higher mathematics. Generally speaking, the content and questions of the additional test are similar to those of the national winter camp and IMO, but the difficulty is slightly reduced.
In 65438+February or 65438+1October after the end of the league, the top 20 test papers from each province will be sent to the Ministry of Education for the record, and the relevant institutions will draw a score line (initial test+additional test) and select 100 players to participate in the annual "National Mathematical Olympics" (that is, winter camp) for a week. Considering the existence of special circumstances, some provinces will be inclined, such as Xinjiang, Tibet and other areas with low education level. Therefore, in order to take care of these provinces, they often draw a line separately, because they often don't have a player whose score can reach the national average. After the balance, they will generally keep the number of players in each province at around 6-7, and participate in the national winter camp after a short training. Winter camp problems are completely solved by large-scale methods.
After that, according to the test results of the winter camp, 30-40 students were selected into the "National Training Team". After 5-6 rounds of winter camp selection, combined with their usual performance, the coaching staff of the national training team voted unanimously to select the official members of the national team to participate in the annual International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) competition. Usually there are six people, but in a few years there will be four or seven.
If there is anything you don't understand, we can continue to communicate. I have participated in the national league since my freshman year, and I have made some achievements. If I encounter any problems, I can also try to help you solve them. Ha ha. Remember, as long as I win the first prize in the National League, the famous universities in China can basically choose at will (the Ministry of Education clearly stipulates that they are eligible for walking), and the winners of the first prize are generally between 40 and 50 in each province.
