Graphing and linearization for NePhO
A practical walkthrough of linearization, scale choice and graph marking for NePhO experimental questions, with a worked pre-selection example.
By Prabhakar Kafle and Sanam Limbu
Curated books, videos, problem sets, past papers and tools for olympiad preparation. Use the search and filters to narrow the library by stage, topic, type and difficulty. Guides walk through a skill step by step.
Short, practical guides for the skills that appear again and again in olympiad papers.

The complete three-volume classic, free and legal online. Excellent for building physical intuition beyond the school syllabus.
A classic collection of hard problems. Try it after finishing a university-level textbook.
The most popular bridge between school physics and olympiad-level problem solving. Strong mechanics and modern physics sections.
A complete calculus-based physics course in one book. Use it as your main textbook if school classes feel too slow.
Community-collected olympiad-style notes and graded problem sets. Check the difficulty tags before starting.
Full university lectures with problem sets and solutions. Watch at 1.25× and do the tutorials — passive watching is not enough.
Gentle, well-paced university lectures that assume very little background. A good first step if school physics feels overwhelming.
Multi-round online contest with beautiful, hard problems. Archive rounds are excellent national-camp practice.
Theory and lab papers from past international olympiads, with marking schemes where published. The single best indicator of final-round style.
Official NePhO pre-selection papers listed year by year, with links to the Nepal Physical Society page.
If maths is your bottleneck, fix it here first: derivatives, integrals, vectors and simple linear algebra cover most olympiad needs.
Compact notes on the maths an olympiad actually needs: expansions, complex numbers, vectors, differential equations basics.
A practical primer on uncertainty, significant figures, graph linearisation and how to write a lab report that earns marks.
Free simulations for circuits, waves, forces and more. Useful to build intuition when you have no lab equipment at home.
