The IOQM Preparation Package by Olympiad Class24 is built for students of Class 8 to 12 who want to prepare for the Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics in a planned way. It brings live classes, study material, a dedicated IOQM book, mock tests, previous year questions and over 2000 practice questions together in one package.
IOQM is the first stage of the mathematics olympiad path in India. The paper does not test routine school formulas. It tests how well a student can think, reason and solve unfamiliar problems. A structured IOQM preparation package gives students the practice and guidance needed for this kind of thinking.
