Hi, I'm new here, and I hope someone could help me out.
I'm in grade 12, and plan to write the preliminary exams for the olympiads this year. The problem is, i have only around four months till this date.
I went through a tough time in 11th as I switched schools, and in general my grades fell sharply. I've just about picked myself up, just in time perhaps.
In order to prepare for this exam, I have three books: Resnick Halliday Walker's FOP, Irodov's Problems in General Physics, and University Physics by Sears, Young and Zemansky(don't use this much).
Since I'm really hard pressed for time, I was wondering whether it would be a wise idea to just go through the worked out solutions from the first two books. I have FOPsolutions to all 4000+ plus problems as well as two books with the solutions to Irodov's.
I've beaten about the bush for quite some time now, the question is: Is it possible for me to reach olympiad level(preliminary for now) in four months, mainly going through the solutions to the problems in FOP and Irodov?
This is something I'm very passionate about and extremely willing to work towards. I'm a restless kid but physics will make me sit still. I promise not to be lazy.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance :)
