How to Prepare for IPMAT
Read these valuable tips on how to prepare for IPMAT and devise the best strategy to score well.
- Math and Grammar: To prepare for the mathematical part of the test, it is advisable to revise the Math syllabus learned from classes 6 to 12. For grammar, preparations must focus on the syllabus of classes 6 to 10.
- Increasing the Difficulty Level: As you prepare each topic, start with easy questions and continue to increase the difficulty of the questions to master every concept. For math, learn to do calculations efficiently as it will help you save time and solve questions accurately.
- Self-study: Devote 1-2 hours daily for your IPMAT Self-study where the focus is on Math, 1-2 RC passages, grammar, and vocabulary. Once a week, give mocks, sectional tests, and topic tests. If you are going to appear for IPMAT Rohtak, also practice solving 1-2 puzzles or LR sets daily, backed by regular topic tests and sectional tests.
- Giving Mocks Regularly: IPMAT will test you on both- subject knowledge and time management skills. Writing mock tests will help you manage your time and will also condition you for the final paper. Thus, schedule both IPMAT Indore and IPMAT Rohtak mock tests at least once every 15 days.
- Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses: The most important step in your preparation is analysis. Ensure that you spend at least 3-4 hours qualitatively analyzing each mock that you do. Reattempt the paper before looking at the solutions. It will help you identify your strengths and work on your weaknesses.
- Start Preparing Early: You should not wait for your board exams to end before you start preparing for your IPMAT Self Study. Dive into IPMAT preparation earlier to keep a balance between all the exams. Attempt mock tests and sectional tests regularly to keep track of your strategy and know how well you perform against your competitors.
