Tips to Prepare for Physics Olympiad Exam:
NSEP Preparation
The first step towards qualifying for the Physics Olympiad is NSEP. This step requires a good speed to cross the MI Score.
Students must practice any reference book like HC Verma with a timer will be very beneficial.
Focus on Semiconductors and Modern Physics, as they are easy marks. A good strategy is to attempt the last 10 questions in the first 30 minutes and then work on the remaining questions.
INPhO Preparation
The second and harder part of qualifying for the Physics Olympiad is INPhO.
In the 3-hour format, with the total score usually being around 75 or 80 in recent years, the number of problems is around 5–8, each being quite challenging.
To prepare for INPhO, one needs to understand advanced Physics concepts well.
Resources to Use
To prepare for INPhO, there are several resources that one can use.
-
Concepts of Physics by HC Verma is a good resource for basic knowledge of Physics.
-
Problems in General Physics by Irodov is an excellent resource for initial practice and as warmups in preparation for the long INPhO Problems.
-
Introduction to Classical Mechanics by Morin is a good resource for advanced insights into Mechanics and a taste of longer problems.
-
Electricity and Magnetism by Purcell and Morin is one of the best resources and has a large number of problems in it.
-
Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths is a good resource for advanced insights into Electromagnetism.
-
Concepts of Modern Physics by Beiser is a good resource for sufficient discussions about almost all topics in this Section.
-
Pathfinder for Olympiad and JEE(Advanced) Physics is another excellent resource for preparing for INPhO. The MCQs are well chosen, and the Build Up Your Understanding's are a nice warmup before the extremely relevant Check Your Understanding problems.
