How Mayank Chaudhary Improved from 31 to 48 Marks in IOQM 2025 with Physics Wallah

Preparing for the Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) is a journey of learning, patience, and regular practice. Every attempt teaches something new, and every mistake becomes an opportunity to improve. Mayank Chaudhary's journey reflects exactly that.

A Class 10 student from Aligarh, Mayank first participated in school-level Olympiads. Over time, he discovered IOQM and decided to prepare seriously. Instead of expecting quick results, he focused on improving his understanding with every attempt. His expected improvement from 31 marks to 48 marks in IOQM 2025 highlights the impact of disciplined preparation and the right guidance.

How Mayank Chaudhary Began His IOQM Journey

Like many Olympiad aspirants, Mayank's journey started with curiosity.

"Sir pehla Olympiad maine seventh class mein diya tha."

"SOF IMO diya tha."

His first exposure to Olympiads came through the SOF IMO in Class 7. At that time, he was not familiar with IOQM or the Mathematics Olympiad pathway. Things changed when one of his friends introduced him to the exam.

"Mujhe pata laga December 2023 mein."

"Sir mera ek dost tha. Usne bataya tha."

After hearing about IOQM, Mayank started learning more about the examination and began understanding the exam pattern. This was the point where his preparation became more focused, and he decided to pursue Mathematics Olympiads seriously.

How Mayank Chaudhary Turned His First Attempt into a Learning Experience 

Knowing about the exam was only the beginning. The next challenge was preparing in the right way.

When Mayank appeared for IOQM for the first time, he scored 31 marks. Instead of getting discouraged, he treated the result as a learning experience.

"Pehli baar diya tha... accha laga sir."

He realised that Olympiad preparation required consistent practice and a better approach to problem-solving. Rather than changing his goal, he changed the way he prepared.

This mindset helped him stay motivated and continue working towards better performance in his next attempt.

How Physics Wallah Helped Mayank Chaudhary Prepare for IOQM

As Mayank looked for structured preparation, he chose Physics Wallah's Olympiad Wallah programme to guide his learning.

"PW se to main Corona ke time se hi juda hua hoon. Par Olympiad Wallah se 2023 ke baad hi juda."

"Sir pehla batch 2024 mein hi liya."

"Sir main MOAP mein tha."

After joining the IOQM batch and later the Maths Olympiad Advanced Programme (MOAP), Mayank started following a more organised study plan. Instead of studying from scattered resources, he focused on concept-building, regular practice, and advanced Olympiad questions.

When asked what made the biggest difference in his preparation, his answer was simple.

"Sir practice to ek bahut important factor hai."

"Aur sir jo content hai wo bhi refine zyada matlab zyada accha ho gaya hai."

The structured classes, refined study material, and regular practice sessions helped him improve his concepts gradually. This gave him more confidence while solving Olympiad-level problems and helped him prepare consistently for IOQM as well as RMO.

How Mayank Chaudhary Improved from 31 to an Expected 48 Marks

The biggest milestone in Mayank's journey has been his steady improvement.

This year, he expects to score 48 marks in IOQM.

"Sir mera provisional score 48 marks."

His growth was visible beyond IOQM as well. After qualifying, he also appeared for RMO and performed well in his first attempt.

Mayank believes that consistent practice played the biggest role in this improvement. Instead of focusing only on scores, he focused on learning from every paper, identifying mistakes, and strengthening weak areas. This gradual process helped him move closer to his goal with every attempt.

How Mayank Chaudhary Is Preparing for RMO

After IOQM, Mayank shifted his focus towards RMO preparation. His strategy is simple and centred on solving quality questions.

"Sir ek PYQs jo hai like BMO aur RMO ke PYQ to wo hai hi hai."

"Aur sir INMO ke 2010 tak ke PYQs."

Along with previous-year papers, he continues practising from standard Olympiad books to improve his understanding of different topics.

"Number Theory mein... 104 Number Theory laga chuka hoon."

His preparation reflects an important lesson for Olympiad aspirants. Solving previous-year questions and revising concepts regularly can help build confidence for higher stages of the examination.

Mayank Chaudhary's Advice for Future IOQM Aspirants

Looking back at his own journey, Mayank encourages students to stay patient and continue practising, even if the first attempt does not go as planned.

"Sir salah yahi hai sir ki acche se karna chahiye aur sir taiyari acche se karni chahiye."

He also believes that exam day can sometimes be unpredictable.

"Luck bhi ek matter karta hai."

According to him, students should not lose confidence because of one result. Good preparation and consistent effort always create more opportunities to improve.

He also shared one lesson that Mathematics Olympiads have taught him beyond academics.

"Maths Olympiad se sir life ka bahut ek strong phase seekhne ko milta hai."

"Jab girte hain to uthne ko seekhne ko milta hai."

For Mayank, Olympiads are not only about solving mathematical problems. They also teach resilience, discipline, and the ability to keep moving forward after setbacks.

Mayank Chaudhary's journey from scoring 31 marks to expecting 48 marks in IOQM 2025 shows that meaningful improvement comes through consistency rather than shortcuts. With structured guidance from Physics Wallah's Olympiad programmes, regular practice, and a willingness to learn from every attempt, he steadily strengthened his preparation. His story reminds every IOQM aspirant that progress is built one step at a time, and every attempt brings an opportunity to grow.
