In summary, the speaker is starting 11th grade and wants to compete in the International Physics Olympiad (IPHO) for the next two years. They have 10 months until the qualifier and feel confident in their knowledge of theory, having solved many problems from textbooks like Resnick Halliday and IE IRODOV. They are seeking guidance on how to proceed and are wondering about other recommended problem books and the required level of math knowledge for IPHO.

INPhO (Semifinals) is in February 3rd.solve the Question paper and Rank yourself if you completed the Resnick-Halliday. Resnick-Halliday is an ultimate text for introductory Physics and IPhO test is on level of it. If you want more go to Reference page of Olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in/

Also don't post so many threads regarding one problem.your all threads started yet deals with same topic and in one you write you are in 9th grade here you write 11th grade why
