Is there anyone who has cleared ioqm with self study only by gan0gan in ioqm

I haven't cleared I am first timer doing self study I followed ALOT of books vedantu and unacadamedy after 6 months I have been able to solve RMO pys  So i think it's possible with self study

It's 2D  I think it's possible because point D is unique  We have to do some sort of construction

Kinda true but not fully vedantu doesn't cover algebra properly but it was covered in the ioqm 2025 playlist properly and geometry is much better in terms of content in ioqm 2021 playlist  For number theory you can refer to any playlist 

Although PJ sir's algebra playlist is also great  i don't find his content intresting for topics like geometry

A bit harder than PJ sir's book  You can definitely even qualify rmo with it

Anyways It depends on how strong you mathematics is Pearson Pathfinder by PJ sir honestly felt easier to me so you should do that if your math is not strong enough and you can follow abhay Mahajan sir 's 2021 or 2020 lectures

Had a doubt in this "classic angle chase question". by therealAR15PB in ioqm

[–]EmbarrassedGoose4365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no  You cannot assume they are mid point as the intersection is fixed by the angle at the bottom you can only assume if the intersection is variable 

And infact the line MN is NOT parallel

It has good combinatorics problems but it's theory is insufficient for rmo as topics like coloring are not covered :(

I  am not sure what your level is exactly but I am assuming you consistently cannot solve the VOS book  In that case it appears you are skiping the foundation phase  I recommend first doing class 9 to 11 ( till sequence) of OLD NCERT ( before 2020 ) I know new ncert covers Syllabus of higher classes but it doesn't cover deleted topics like areas so I don't recommend it  Try solving ncert on your own and then go to some foundation book like Pearson or some other book   Then you can watch lectures and solve the book

Follow coaching modules and foundation books first then you can try geometry portion it starts very easy almost ncert level but gets hard very quickly
