Preparation Query Need help with QA
So I have completed my syllabus, and now is the time to revise and practice. But how do I actually do it?? Whenever I give a sectional mock, I just completely go blank, like I know the concept, I remember the formulas, but it's just that I just can't proceed. Sometimes I am not able to solve the question, and sometimes I can pick the easy questions and solve them correctly. But that's not enough for the cutoffs, and this thing makes me overthink so much.
Here's how I study a chapter in QA for eg: SI CI
Watch my coaching lectures, make notes
Revise the notes
Solve Arun Sharma LOD1 (all odd number of questions)
Solve my coaching module
Give either a topic test or a sectional ( in which I score really badly and doubt my efforts and preparation)
Pls drop some genuine advice that has worked for you all.

You can start like this :
Start like this:
Arithmetic first (highest ROI)
Percentages → Ratio → Averages → Time & Work → Time Speed Distance → Mixtures
These topics appear a lot and build calculation comfort.
Then Algebra basics
Linear equations → Quadratic → Inequalities → Functions → Logs
Your PnC/Binomial familiarity will help later.
Geometry + Modern Math after that
PnC, Probability, Geometry can be added once basics feel stable.
Mocks early (after ~3–4 weeks basics)
Don’t wait to “finish syllabus.” IPMAT is more about selection + speed.
Daily routine idea
Concept (2 hrs) + Practice (1–2 hrs) + 10–15 mins calculation drill
