:memo: Preparing for the Online Test

The online test will be an AI-proctored exam that you can take from any location with a computer and internet access. While technical details will follow, here is how you should start preparing today.

No Syllabus? No Problem!

Unlike traditional exams, there is no set booklet or syllabus. Instead, the test is designed to push your conceptual boundaries. All questions are inspired by the Selected Problems for the 40th IYPT 2027.

:light_bulb: How to Approach Your Preparation:

  • Recreate the Phenomenon: Ask yourself, “How would I recreate this problem at home or school?” Try it physically, watch related videos, or search this forum for others’ results.
  • Deconstruct the Science: List every scientific concept involved in each problem.
  • The “What If” Method: Challenge yourself with hypothetical scenarios for every problem.
  • Bridge the Gaps: If a problem requires math or physics you haven’t learned yet, don’t panic! Use the internet or ask a teacher. You only need a solid foundational understanding for the online test phase.

:bullseye: What We Are Looking For

The test is engineered to evaluate:

  • Analytical Prowess: Your ability to answer complex questions logically.
  • Thought Experiments: How well you can simulate problems in your mind.
  • Independent Thinking: Performance in the absence of AI tools.
  • Daily Observation: Your awareness of scientific phenomena in the world around you.
  • Readiness: Your potential to start working on these problems under our guidance.

This is a national-level competition, and with only a few hundred spots available for the next stage, every day counts.
