I started my prep from JULY, with PW skimmed through every topic except modern maths. I did Arun Sharma LOD1 of Number Systems, and Algebra, and LOD 2 of some topics. Then in november, I did Arithmetic, Probability and P&C from pearson, I did all the exercises, and got like 80-85% accuracy, my confidence boasted. Before completing Arithmetic, I gave two IPMAT Indore mocks on AFB and scores were like, 130s and 170s. In december, I started getting off the track, even stopped goup studies to focus, then coz of all Pre boards, Practicals and terminal exams, I could not really devote good time for studies in DEC. Today, I decided to give a mock. I started with 2024 PYP, but in SA a question repeate for 2-3 times and I got frusraed, started giving free wala mock. Could not solve most of Quants ques, as you can see, time management was so bad in VA, that I had to leave third RC, instead I attempted 3 parajumbles and got those right.
For VA, from very staring I do RCs from BODHIPREP, also from AFTB (not very consistently on AFTB), I do parajumbles, and read articles and books. I dont do vocab cramming. I have not done anything much for LRDI. Now with 4 months in hands, along with boards (FEB-MARCH), which will also require time. I am so confused that if I will be able to even clear the cutoffs for IPMAT Indore...

If you were consistent since 24 August, you could have done 4 months of continuous relevant RC practice, read more than 48,000 words and had defined ~300 new words which would have helped you in VARC too.
Right now, I want you to do all the video lectures (free) on Time & Work. Then, do the conceptual questions linked to the video, and then do the 4 levels of topic-tests. You'll get answers wrong but you need to LEARN from the solution. This cyclic process will be essential to become better at every topic.
I genuinely want you to become 10x more serious about IPMAT so that your probability of cracking Indore is higher!

Can you clarify this? What do you mean the question repeated 2-3 times?
Are you referring to the DILR-set that was there in the SA section? Those are 3 separate questions.
Please read the last line of the question!

No, as a non math student myself who has been in this situation before, do not skip quants completely, you need to keep in touch with the subject otherwise, the next time you pick it up , its gonna seem like a complicated puzzle.
-> right now prioritize boards,
->with at least 20 questions of a topic daily,
it can be a simple topic, or if you're not going topic wise, just attempt a sectional solve whatever you know in the sectional ,
->that way you dont have to invest 2-3 hours of your day, just 40 minutes
on the blanking part, its totally normal because you're a non math student,
-> its a pattern issue,
-> you can understand and apply formulas which is good ,
indirect questions basically require you:
-choosing the right concept for the right question as well
both of which will come from exposure , not theory, and exposure means practicing different types of questions, and different ways to solve them
right now i would suggest you to tread lightly on the quants part (skipping Quants completely will create fear. overdoing Quants will create burnout.), solve medium to medium-hard questions and study their solutions, also as a non math you're natural advantage can be focusing on VA and LR , improve those with consistency.
