The registration process for the IMO varies by country depending on whether your national mathematics body sponsors it or not. Generally speaking though, you must contact your national mathematics body to find out if your country participates in this Olympiad and if so, how you can register for it.

Each round of the IMO consists of two individual written tests lasting three hours each day and one group problem solving session lasting up to four hours on any given day following test day(s). All competitions are held over a period of four days followed by an award ceremony on the fifth day.

During both rounds of testing at IMO, a variety of mathematical topics are covered including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, number theory and more advanced topics such as calculus and probability theory.

Preparation materials for IMO can usually be found online via various websites such as MathWorks or WolframAlpha which are highly recommended to help prepare yourself adequately for this challenging competition. You may also consider looking up previous papers from past participants to get insight into what kind of questions you may encounter during your attempt at taking this prestigious exam.
