How can I know if my score is good or bad in sectionals?
Same as title, since the difficulty varies from sectional to sectional.

how r u able to score more than 100 in va m usually stuck at 80 -90 any learnings can u plz share with me as u have most of ur scores above 100 maybe I get some insightful tips
Hey, so daily rc is a must. You can practice different topics via afterboards and do mark the ones you get wrong and try to practice it again in a couple of days. Apart from that, just anaylse the sectional thoroughly and write down the incorrect questions on a notebook to revise and practice later. Try implementing these (I'm also trying😔) and i think you can significantly increase your scores.
hi thank you for the tip will definitely try and do this just one thing this write down the incorrect questions on notebook and revise it is it helpful for va like yes qa this is very obvious thing but for va writing down wrong quesions and revising it will it be helpful has this helped you my pov was in va just understand the mistake and learn any concept if there and move on (asking this cauz havent tried noting down my wrong questions in va 😔😔)
it will be helpful.
ok thank u for ur response
Daily RCs. Most importantly the 7th question
Difficulty, and most importantly section/topic weightage.
Don't worry about the MARKS themselves, they should not be your GOAL (at least not while learning, and defo not like 1 year before ipmat).
Right now, the way the unlimited sectionals work is by looking at the topics a student is very bad at, and having more questions from those topics. You can't particularly see if you are doing well in a day, but over a week or two, if you notice your sectionals having different topics than the usual, that means you are doing good.
Its just like weight loss/working out at the gym, you'll see results over a long period of time, not in one day.
makes sense, thank you!
Also if anyone can, could you please let me know if I got to change my stategy/ improve more as per my current scores? I'm sharing my sectional/ rc scores below.
for the daily RCs part, great scores... there are fluctuations but you are mostly above the average score
you just need to focus on the time part, i can see some improvement in that too which is good but generally try to complete a RC in at max 7 mins if it is of medium-tough difficulty.
for the sectionals, those are adaptive sectionals so the score depends on the distribution of level of the questions, but i would say these are good scores as of now when you have ~250 days left for IPMAT 2026
Thank you sm for replying. Will surely work on improving the time and scores in general.
What should be the ideal scores in these Sectionals?! My scores usually vary all the way from 110-130 (reaching 150 twice)
ideal score depends on the LoD of the sectional but 110-130 seems good...try to be consistent in this range or maybe above.

Use this formula for calculating ideal score in VA
4* no. of easy questions + 2.75 * no. of medium questions + 2* *no. of difficult questions
How did you get to this?!
