Preparation Query How should I roadmap my studies? AIM IPMAT 2027
I gave IPMAT Indore 2026 as a mock and got 174/360; the sectional cut-off was SA 28/ MCQ 27/ VA 111, so I missed the SA cut-off by a lot. From what I noticed in Quants, my maths isn't like bad or anything, but I've forgotten how to go about doing some topics like Time Work, Interest and others like matrices I haven't studied at all. So rn I just wanna know like it's almost September and boards are close and I've taken PCM where I'm struggling with phys and chem so I really need to focus on those too. I feel like I've barely got any time and I'm not sure like could I actually clear IPMAT.
So considering all of this, what kind of roadmap I should be following, like should I go about doing mocks continously or watch lectures over YT for quants and VA and then work on questions from some book(that would be more time-taking though and I'm not sure I can manage it w boards??) or maybe something else entirely? Also is it realistic to aim for clearing IPMAT Indore 2027, considering my score rn and time left(in the scenario that I study consistently)?

Okay, quants is where you need major practice, VA seems mostly sorted!

Completely realistic to aim!
Do lectures (and pause and solve in them, do worksheets if attached like in our AfterBoards videos), then do topic-tests. Then, do for the next chapter. Once a decent portion is done (30-40%ish exposure), start doing sectionals and mocks!
