get the basics of all topics down (afterboards vids are good) or just watch one shots of the topic from CAT/JEE lectures whichever relevant. Then solve questions and keep solving questions. after you're done solving a lot of questions, solve more questions. (throw in some mocks in there)
QA building doesnt come from conceptual clarity (though that is important). Someone who has practiced a shit ton of questions will always be better prepared than someone who knows the concept intuitively.
(which is why good analysis is essentially mandatory)
Afterboards videos (imo) are the best because they aren't long, plus they dont try to be very in depth. They know IPMAT doesn't care about ur knowledge, which is why they have a lot of questions to solve too.
QA isn't about mathematical ability, but rather logic. If you practice enough, you'll be exposed to the logic of solving many types of questions which will help during exam.
also clowning yourself doesn't help. we still have a lot of time to prepare. What helps is realising that solving IPMAT maths is pretty fun. If you don't find it fun. try comparing it to studying for sst/science/(literally any boards subject) ka paper. This is much better than just baithke ratta karo.
also QA will 100% be shit in the start, simply because the RoI is not visible at all. It pisses everyone off. but if you give QA a solid few months of practice, you will find better scores and better clarity while approaching qs.
hope this helps :)
