The International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA) is an annual astrophysics
competition for high school students. Each national delegation is made
up of at most five student competitors plus two leaders, selected on a
national level.
International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics : Preparation
An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics.
Since the National Astronomy Olympiad is coming up and there's been several complaints regarding the paucity of this amazing astronomy textbook, I've uploaded the book in the Dropbox. It's in a DjView format. If you don't have a DjViewer, then please download this software into your computer first: WinDjView.
An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics reflects the dramatic changes and advancements in astrophysics that have occurred over the past decade. This is an excellent textbook introducing all the essentials of modern astrophysics, in a clear and systematic way. The book is much more theoretical and full to the brim with useful equations, facts, theorems, definitions, lots of worked examples, plenty of problems to challenge you. This book is also an excellent support to prepare for the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics.

This is an amazing book for the the beginners of Astronomy, written by by Daniel Fleisch and Julia Kregenow. The authors have addressed the topics that students find most troublesome, ranging from stars and light to gravity and black holes. This book contains dozens of fully worked examples and over 150 exercises and homework problems.
An accompanying website features a host of supporting materials, including interactive solutions for every exercise and problem in the text and a series of video podcasts in which the authors explain the important concepts of every section of the book.

The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is an annual physics competition for high school students. Each national delegation is made up of at most five student competitors plus two leaders, selected on a national level.
Bangladesh Physics Olympiad
Committee organizes BDPhO every year, and selects Bangladesh team for
International Physics Olympiad (IPhO). Bangladesh Physics Olympiad
usually takes place between November to January. Bangladesh Physics Olympiad has 3 Phases.
Phase I : Divisional Round.
Phase II : National Round.
Phase III: IPhO Team Selection Camp.

Syllabus of the BDPhO.
Past Papers of the BdPhO.
If you want to compete at the national or upper level physics olympiad, you should at least complete the book "Physics, Volume 1 & 2 by David Halliday, Robert Resnick and Kenneth S. Krane"
This is an undergraduate level textbook, and you need to have a decent knowledge of univariate calculus to sink your teeth into it. If you can solve 80% of the problems of Halliday, Resnick and Krane - you can start with the Past IPhO Question Papers. Note: As the scope of the syllabus has changed, it is a waste to try to handle question papers from pre-1998 era.
Suggested By: Professor Arshad Momen, Coach, Bangladesh Physics Olympiad Team.
In particular, the problems for the second-round of competition are like long journey of physics, beginning with fundamental physics of junior-high-school level, and ending with the forefronts of updated physics and technology.

Physics I is a first-year physics course which introduces students to classical mechanics. This course has a hands-on focus, and approaches mechanics through take-home experiments. Topics include: kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, universal gravitation, statics, conservation laws, energy, work, momentum, and special relativity.
Physics II is the second semester of introductory physics. The focus is on electricity and magnetism.
MIT OCW has selected relevant material from MIT's introductory physics courses to support students as they study for the AP Physics curriculum. The videos are extremely helpful for beginner level understanding of Physics.
