Competiton Experiences
The following are some "tools of the trade" that I have learnt from taking past competitions. I find this is beneficial to the "How to start becoming a Mathlete" forum, because anything you have learnt from taking a certain competition may be helpful towards future test-takers.
Feel free to add on some of your experiences and what you recommend for pre-competition, competition, and post-competition.

Feel free to add on some of your experiences and what you recommend for pre-competition, competition, and post-competition.
Pre-competition
- Prepare a small study guide and look over necessary formulas that you have learnt
- Have a good breakfast
- Go to each test with a positive mantra. Don't begin your evaluation by saying "I will surely fail."
- Pack extra pencils, extra calculator batteries, and possibly a small snack for longterm competition
- Create a checklist before each test to make sure you have all that is needed
Competition
- Focus strictly on your evaluation and nothing else
- A watch can serve useful in calculating how much time you take per problem, the time left, the time you have to check, etc.
- DOUBLE CHECK ANSWERS
Post-Competition
- Learn from previous mistakes by looking back at what you got wrong
