hi all, i just wanted to ask a little bit about advice on math, sorry if this is a really generic posts that exists a million times but i just wanted to ask myself. so i wanna try and make jmo next year, but im not sure how i should be studying, ive always felt that my studying was inefficient and has just been spamming problems, and ive never really taken a class. i was thinking about doing mathwoot level 1 next school year and also im doing 3 awesomemath level 2 courses this summer. is there any classes that i could take from now to the end of the school year that would help? i think right now im good with easy problems but i struggle in harder aime problems. also i think some of my fundamentals are not well built, which is why im bad at amc 10. i did really bad on amc 10 this year and on aime i did poorly as well, but after aime i looked at the problems again and thought they weren't really as hard as i thought. i wanna be able to build a better “system” where i can just look at a problem and already kinda have an idea of how to approach, but i dont know how to build that system. i dont know if i should just do more problems, learn more concepts, or take classes. i also want to try to summarize problems after doing them, but im not sure how to do that most effectively. im kind of at a roadblock and i dont really know what to do next. in the past, ive just done a lot of problems and while i definitely improved, i feel like its still not the best way for me to study. to people who made jmo or are preparing for it, how do you guys train?
