NEXT 30 DAYS for TARGET ISI+OLYMPIAD '12 - a minimalistic strategy

What to study and how much to study is a relative question (depends much on the student). We present here a minimalistic strategy which is good for someone who has a fair idea about high school math (and who is interested to crack I.S.I. or C.M.I. undergraduate math/stat entrance in 2012). The strategy is minimalistic because we suggest the must-do stuff only. The more work the better you are off.

Regular (problems that you must to every day, every season)

• I.S.I. 10+2 - subjective 100 problems and objective 300 problems (that is just 13 problems per day)
• Geometry - Challenges and Thrills of pre college math - 10 riders + theorems per day
• Calculus - TMH IIT math - 10 problems per day

Specialization (special topics that you may cover in the upcoming 30 days given that you have 1 year to prepare for the entrance)

• High School centric topic - Trigonometry - TMH IIT math + Loney (Height and Distance harder + Properties of triangle harder) - 10 problems per day
• Olympiad centric topic - Inequalities + Functional Equation + RMO (4 papers), INMO (2 papers) + IMO (2 papers) =  300 problems i.e. about 10 problems per day.

That is about 50 problems per day. Earlier we suggested in a post that you should work on 100 problems per day. That is very much true. However in this post we have suggested the bare minimum work that you must do in order to crack I.S.I. For support and further discussion you may call us at 9804005499. If you are outside Kolkata add '0' in the beginning. If you are outside India add 091 in the beginning.
