Whats your level, what have you done before, why the interest in problem solving etc? Ukmt and aops

Just started a levels and I think that practice is the most important but sometimes you would get harder questions that you won’t understand and improving problem solving can help that. I know I can just do more difficult questions on that topic but they’re usually harder to find or there are very few of them.

For problem solving, you could look at
https://mei.org.uk/resource/5be10b4d...-08d952a14600/
https://amsp.org.uk/events/details/5216
as well as the ukmt/aops links above. The ukmt smc is coming up shortly, why not do a few past papers as a time effective way of seeing how you get on? There are some basic problem solving techniques about trying extreme cases, sketching, working backwards, spotting patterns, ... A reasonable bit of advice is that the jmc is pretty much 90% related to gcse, imc 70% related to gcse but the smc is 20% related to A levels. Obviously these numbers are rough, but don;t think its absolutely necessary for A levels.
Similarly the mat, step
https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/study-her...mat-livestream
https://maths.org/step/assignments
https://www.amazon.co.uk/STEP-MAT-TM.../dp/1398323314
Has teaching material/questions which stretch you, though these are primarily for maths entrance exams and not necessary for A levels (regard them as extension material). The book starts off with good advice about problem solving.
