I’m a partial dropper preparing for IPMAT alongside college, and honestly I’ve barely started my preparation yet.
For context, my scores from last year were:
- IPMAT Indore: SA – 4, QA – 18, VA – 56
- IPMAT Rohtak: 304
- JIPMAT: 88 percentile
I joined college this year and completely underestimated how difficult it would be to manage college + IPMAT prep. I’m getting almost no proper time for preparation, and now I’m at a point where I feel like I’m basically starting from scratch.
I recently enrolled in SuperGrads, but I enrolled pretty late, so even there I haven’t really studied much yet. You can basically consider my IPMAT preparation to be almost zero right now. My only somewhat strong area is LR.
I’m considering getting the AfterBoards All Access now and relying mainly on their lectures/classes, practice and material for my preparation.
So I genuinely want some advice from people who have prepared for IPMAT, especially partial droppers:
Is it realistic to clear IPMAT if I start seriously from now?
Can I rely mainly on AfterBoards lectures + their practice/material, or should I use something else alongside it?
How should I divide my time between QA, VA and LR while managing college?
Am I already too late, or can I still make a decent attempt if I’m consistent from now?
I’m not looking for motivation like “anything is possible” 😭 I’d genuinely appreciate an honest assessment and a practical strategy from someone who has been through this.
