IMO

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is one of the most prestigious,reputed, and is the oldest of the International Science Olympiads mathematical competitions for pre-college students around the globe.The selection process differs by country, but it often consists of a series of tests which admit fewer students at each progressing test. 
The topics appearing in the past few years in this exam are mainly:-
  1. Geometry
  2. Combinatorics
  3. Algebra
  4. Number Theory and various subtopics like functional equations and inequality, etc
The questions on these questions are considered very hard but not if you prepare properly so to get started all you need are some good books and steady building on mathematical concepts and practicing problems.

Therefore I am uploading a ton of books and resources to get you started on your journey to the IMO but keep in mind it wont be an easy one and ordinary people (unless you're exceptional) must study at least 2-3 hours a day according to me. I'll suggest some good YouTube channels so that you can get exposure to Olympiad math:- 
Mindyourdecisions https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnj59g7jezwTy5GeL8EA_g(if you are just starting out) ,
Osman Nal   https://www.youtube.com/user/osmannal(he does IMO problems and other international olympiads as well),
UK Mathematics Trust. Other than these I don't recommend youtube as a good source for IMO maths problems especially. 
 Also there are some people on social media also that post math question, they re good to get started but remember IMO is subjective and written so you have to prepare those question related to proofs as those will get you selected in your country's team and national Olympiads. I would suggest that you practice from you country regional Olympiad and then if you can solve them move on to solve your country's national Olympiad and then finally solve problems of IMO level and certainly some other international Olympiads like Romanian Masters of Mathematics, European girl Mathematics Competition, Asian pacific Math competition, etc.

The AOPS(Art of Problem Solving) is the premier site for problems solving and olympiad questions on the internet so do check it out.
OK so here is the link to the pdfs in this you'll find many books popular ones like Authur Engel, Evan Chen geometry,Yufei Zhaos pdfs, Geometry Revisited,Tit Andreasseau books, etc...

Please share if you've got something too because everyone will benefit from it and you wont waste your time, even I could have kept all these resources on my desktop if I wanted but I figured that I might just help those helpless students with no one to guide them so talk, discuss and share on this blog... 

All the best!
