How to choose books
Pick one primary text per subject before collecting many references. Olympiad growth comes from solving and reviewing, not from owning a long bookshelf.
Starter library
- Physics: concept text, worked examples, and a separate problem book.
- Chemistry: school text, organic patterns, and quantitative practice.
- Mathematics: proof-oriented geometry, number theory, algebra, and combinatorics.
- Informatics: algorithms text plus online judge practice.
Use books with restraint
The resource library now includes astronomy references, math problem sets, biology chapters, and physics texts. Use books to repair concepts, then return to past papers and problem sets so the reading turns into exam skill.
