1. Prepare in advance: You need to be fully prepared in advance to participate in the math contest. Understand the contents and topics of the competition, be familiar with relevant mathematical knowledge and problem-solving skills, and master some commonly used mathematical formulas and theorems.

2. Make a study plan: Make a reasonable study plan according to the competition schedule. Arrange the daily study time reasonably, and review and train your weak knowledge points in a targeted way.

3. Do more exercises: It takes a lot of exercises to take part in the math contest. You can improve your problem-solving ability and test-taking ability by doing competition questions, simulation questions and various exercises over the years. At the same time, we should pay attention to summarizing the methods and skills of solving problems and form our own ideas of solving problems.

4. Pay attention to thinking training: Mathematics competition focuses on examining students' mathematical thinking ability and innovation ability. In the process of solving problems, we should pay attention to cultivating our own logical thinking, analyzing and solving problems. You can improve your thinking ability by doing some thinking training questions and solving some practical problems.

5. Pay attention to time management: to participate in the math contest, you need to complete a certain number of questions in a limited time. Therefore, we should pay attention to the management of time, arrange the problem-solving time of each topic reasonably, and avoid spending too much time on one topic and leaving other topics unfinished.

6. Keep a good attitude: You need to keep a positive attitude to participate in the math contest. Don't be too nervous and anxious, believe in your own strength and preparation, and remain confident and calm. When you encounter difficulties and problems that you can't solve, you should be patient and persistent, and don't give up easily.
