Question paper: The exact problems asked in the exam, so you can read them again calmly at home.
Written solutions: Each proof is written step by step, so you can see how one line leads to the next.
Alternative methods: Where a problem can be solved in more than one way, the other approaches are shown too.

How to Analyse Your RMO 2026 Performance Using ALLEN Solutions?

RMO has no simple answer key, because every answer is a full proof. So you need to check your work a little more carefully.

Write down what you remember. Do this soon after the exam, while your steps are still fresh.
Compare the key idea. Did you find the main trick or approach used in the solution?
Compare the steps. In RMO, part marks are given for correct partial progress, so a strong half-proof can still score well.
Check for gaps. A proof that skips a case or assumes something unproved can lose marks.
Note your mistakes. Was it a missing idea, a weak write-up or a lack of time? Each needs a different fix for INMO.

This gives you a fair idea of how you did. Remember, HBCSE checks the papers, so your real score may be a little higher or lower.
