Hong Kong International Mathematical Olympiad (HKIMO) Senior Secondary past papers typically feature five core exam areas, each designed to test advanced problem-solving beyond the standard high school curriculum. www.hongkongimo.com Core Exam Topics

Categories: 5 categories with an equal number of questions each (e.g., 6 questions per category in the Final Round). hkimo+past+papers+senior+secondary

Study plan (8 weeks, focused)

Week 1–2: Core techniques — algebra & number theory fundamentals, problem sets.
Week 3–4: Geometry intensive — 3–4 problems/day, learn common lemmas.
Week 5: Combinatorics and counting strategies.
Week 6: inequalities and mixed-topic practice.
Week 7: Timed full papers (one every 3–4 days).
Week 8: Review hardest mistakes, polish presentation and time management. Week 3–4: Geometry intensive — 3–4 problems/day, learn

is usually slightly more accessible, focusing on fundamental problem-solving. The Final Round Week 7: Timed full papers (one every 3–4 days)

Move beyond basic area formulas. You’ll need to understand circle theorems, trigonometry in non-right triangles, and properties of centroids and orthocenters. How to Practice Effectively Step 1: The "Open Book" Phase
