Because a province has a maximum of 60 places (there are very few provinces with more than 50 places, and they are all highly competitive Olympic provinces).
Several schools in various provinces have professional and systematic courses in Olympic Mathematics (I have personal experience because I am in an Olympic Mathematics class).
As far as I know, the general course of Olympic Mathematics should be the first year of high school who has finished all the courses.
Then suspend the high school math league for 3 or 4 months before each competition, or invite experts to give lectures or do simulation exercises every day.
After the reform of the examination paper, the second exam accounted for 200 points, that is to say, under the premise of ensuring that the first exam scored more than 90 points, there was no hope of winning the 1 prize if two questions could not be written in the second exam.
It is impossible to write the test questions in the second exam without systematic training or a large number of Olympic games questions.
Students who have been trained in the Olympic Games can generally guarantee more than 90 points in one exam.
This is a general trend, because the Olympic Games has undergone more than 20 years of evolution since its rebirth in the 1980s. Basically, the first prize places have been occupied by the Olympic Games classes in some fixed schools in various provinces for a long time, and the situation cannot be easily changed.
So, if you can't guarantee that you can write a lot of competition questions when you take other subjects in the second year, then go to some teachers' lectures at your own expense.
Then don't sign up. That 50 yuan can do one thing well.
