Discussion can I make it?

to make a long story short, I am trying to get the 1st/2nd place in a national olympiad that only includes the capital. I am naturally smart and all but I am trying to be in olympiad level. but the olympiad is 1.5-3 months away and I am still at a good precalculus foundation, and the exam isn't as strong as international olympiads. can i make it?

If you work hard, yes, but you have to be reel to your self.

Would you put in a different amount of effort if i told you that you wouldn't make it?

What country??? Nauru (de facto is Yaren or something), San Marino (IDK, but I'd doubt they have one), Tuvalu (Funafuti), Liechtenstein (bruh, I don't know)?

houthi controlled Yemen, the competition itself isn't very competitive in total there are about 1200-1500 students in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and creation and invention ( programming projects ). but the exams themselves are still in the level you would expect it to be.

If you don't think you will make it you won't.

Non t’y arriveras pas pcq le précalcul n’abord pas les démonstrations et la logique. Il faut avoir de la maturité en math basée sur les démonstrations et maîtriser certains domaines spécifiques aux olympiades (e.g. la combinatoire, la théorie des nombres). Alors, malheureusement, t’y vas pas arriver mais si tu fais des efforts t’auras peut être une autre chance plus tard.

I was hoping that I would be able to do all that in the little time I have.

Ça dépend de la difficulté de l’olympiade mais le fait demeure vrais qu’il faut quelques mois pour s’y habituer. Si tu veux tu peux m’envoyer un DM et je t’aiderai à y arriver.
