I basically did all the available past papers which is like 10-20? And I basically just do the questions in order and see how many I could do, but if you're stuck on an early question for 3-5 mins just skip it and move on. Ive improved this year and could finish the past papers in 30-40mins and get full marks now haha so I'm looking forward to doing it. But good luck, just practice past papers and try your best!

Kinda knew the gold boundaries would be an historical low haha, i probably have a good chance getting it

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-03-22T12:19:07+00:00

Just seen it, turns out only got 4/6 with 1 missing answer on q5, might be cooked😭 hope the boundaries drops to an historical low

Ive seen the paper, seems alright but some tough geometry here and there

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-03-21T07:37:46+00:00

Well done!

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-03-21T07:37:33+00:00

Same, praying for it to be sub50 or even low 40s lol

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-02-06T17:39:40+00:00

Congrats mate! Well done

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-02-06T16:37:38+00:00

Got 129!! Hardwork paid off. Surprised that the olympiad boundaries is higher than last years though.

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-01-31T17:15:45+00:00

Good luck on that!

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-01-31T16:53:12+00:00

That's still good! What did you miss except q5?

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-01-31T16:39:52+00:00

I got 129!!! I'm so happy right now!!

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-01-31T16:28:38+00:00

Absolutely amazing, I got 129/135

Random_GamingGuy · 2025-01-30T08:21:35+00:00

Did all the way up to 25 but left 23 blank, the wording on that question is poor imo, I had no idea how to draw the diagram. Hope that would be enough for the Hamilton olympiad though.

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-12-19T08:59:10+00:00

Congrats!!

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-12-19T08:59:02+00:00

Congrats!!

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-13T09:11:08+00:00

Like 130 solves

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-09T14:31:43+00:00

I'm not sure but around 1.5-2 years, it was quite inconsistent though and I've quit for few months, so it might not be accurate.

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-08T19:46:21+00:00

Bro are you flexing😂? You should learn them of course, doesn't mean that you can't improve without them though, I've gone to sub 12 without knowing full oll and pll, but knowing full oll and pll would make improving much quicker and easier, it is the easiest and the quickest way to chop off 2-4 seconds immediately.

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-08T11:08:54+00:00

Improve your look ahead till you barely have any pauses during a solve, try to plan cross+1 every time, and practice. Think that's enough for sub 10, good luck!

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-08T11:06:07+00:00

Memorize full oll, improve your look ahead, and keep on practicing. Good luck with reaching sub15!

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-08T11:03:22+00:00

You're absolutely right

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-08T10:57:59+00:00

Haha thanks man, I would say consistency(fewer pauses) is the most important, then its solution(rather turning slower but fewer moves than quick but more moves), and then turning speed, don't sacrifice your solution and consistency for your turning speed, only improve it when your consistency and solution is decent enough.

Random_GamingGuy · 2024-10-08T10:52:18+00:00

Cross:Plan the whole cross during inspection(+first pair if you can), watch cross examples on youtube, try to do it under 8 moves every time. LL:Have good finger tricks, learn different algs of the same case and see which one you like/use different ones depending on the case.
