What now from here?
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...

Hi Im Pranav, I'm currently in iim bodhgaya(also converted Jammu didn't want to go😋), going towards the college rn hehe, First of all never get attached to your mock marks they may vary time to time based on mock difficulty and your mind frame, just note that if you take the avg of your last 3 mocks it should always increase
I scored 295 in my 2024pyp, did I clear ipmat Indore, NO. So does it really matter who scores high or low in mocks, again NO.
Now focus on your goals to get better:
- 3rcs daily
- 1hindu article daily(at least)
- Grammar practice
- Parajumbles can be quite tricky even advanced level teachers sometimes make mistakes so dw on that part just practice
done for English 👍👊
For maths it's just that you shall absorb maths rather than aimlessly solving loads of questions, (YOU DONT NEED TO COVER THE WHOLE SYLLABUS) just focus on the most repeated questions first if you're left with little time(logs, sequences etc) once you go through this your confidence will boost
Don't get demotivated just be positive
Being happy is the ultimate goal. All the best👍
Feel free to reply to this if you've got any doubts
- The IPMAT questions of the coaching you've referred to are extremely easy. Their MBA batch is more relevant to IPMAT wrt the difficulty.
- LoD-2 of ALL chapters are a minimum requirement, else, you won't score more than single digits.
- Don't leave a PYP or a mock in between. Do it till completion. You misread the SA question and didn't recognise that there were 3 different questions with the same table. Don't let this happen to you again.
- I'd rather you do our free Daily RCs than other third-party websites. All our RCs are literally trained on the last 7 years of IPMAT Indore styled questions. Why did you choose not to do this? Plus, do the 7th summary question, use the word-define feature, use the flashcards! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eNPXeLCYSXI
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!
I started with 2024 PYP, but in SA a question repeate for 2-3 times and I got frusraed
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.
