Oh if u havent done bmo stuff yet then IMO stuff is a very long shot sorry for suggesting that. I just assume everyone is on the IMO hype like me.

I only know two doing IMO on here. :tongue:

Send me questions but not from the IMO if possible :biggrin:. I did some USAMO questions which where really nice, but that's probably not as hard as IMO.

Have a look at this https://www.artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=2015_AMC_12A_Problems/Problem_25

An absolute beauty. :smile:

Ah, Ford circles.
I now refer you to BMO2 2016 Q1 and STEP I 2016 Q5. Where this configuration has come up albeit in an easier fashion in step naturally but a slightly harder problem in BMO2 Q1 :smile:.

Terrific, thanks for the questions.
hi guys, trying to get lots of MAT prep done in the next month before going back to school. I'm Irish and we have a completely different syllabus so I've spent the last week or two learning C1&C2. Seeing as people here recommend doing C3&C4, I figured I should go through that aswell but I don't want to buy more textbooks. Could anyone recommend any websites I could find comprehensive C3&C4 notes? Thanks

Thanks so much!
I know this is for MAT Prep but since we all have to do Personal Statements as well: at a talk at one of the colleges at the Oxford open day, the maths tutor said to avoid mentioning the book The Music Of The Primes at all costs in your Personal Statement. Apparently everyone writes about it and it gives you an edge to mention something different :smile: Just in case this helps anyone

Awesome, this thread is up already!

Any CompSci people here or all you all Mathematicians?


I would like to apply for maths and computer science :smile: What subject are you applying for?

Anyone got a solution for 2006 Q7? I can't seem to find a solution anywhere on Earth...


Post yours and someone can verify it for you if you wish.

Definitely good resources, used them a lot last year. That site is a goldmine

I'm applying for straight Computer Science! How are you finding the standard of the past papers?


I've found that the difficulty of the questions have definitely increased in the later papers. However, I really like how the MAT makes you think about what is REALLY happening with the maths (unlike maths and further maths AS level where I found you could get by with just learning questions). :smile:
