Maths is a subject that underpins all engineering and science disciplines. It is used in almost every profession, from physics to artificial intelligence. The EduHeal Foundation makes several attempts to familiarise school kids with maths. To accomplish so, we must make learning enjoyable, remove the fear of arithmetic, and clearly communicate to them the importance of basic maths knowledge in today’s world.

The National Interactive Maths Olympiad curriculum is crucial for assisting students in getting ready for NIMO 2022. The NIMO exam syllabus provides information on the topics that will be covered in the test. Students can use the syllabus and NIMO olympiad sample papers to separate topics that are strong and those that they should pay more focus on. Then, by giving each topic its allotted time, students may focus on the crucial areas while preparing well. We will discuss the NIMO syllabus details in this article.

NIMO Preparation Tips

• The secret to performing well on the test is to practise. Students’ practice-only preparation accounts for 70% of their NIMO preparation.
• Unlike sample papers, there is a time restriction on mock tests. Students can practise this to assess their understanding of the curriculum, as well as their speed in completing problems.
• To get questions answered, students can discuss them with their professors or classmates.
• The books that students utilise on a regular basis in class are the finest resources for studying. The test authorities may also propose NCERT books or other reference materials, which students can check out.
• Keep revising notes in the form of bullet points as students go over each formula or subject. The review will be helpful when the test approaches, and a proper revision schedule will save time. Without these notes, students would often need to read the entire chapter again to fully grasp key concepts.
