IPMAT Indore study plan
IPMAT Indore · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Mathematics Proficiency & Logical Reasoning
Diagnose baseline accuracy in Mathematics Proficiency by solving 40 mixed questions (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, modern maths) under timed conditions and log topic-wise accuracy
Build a formula and shortcut sheet covering percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, and profit-loss, then apply each formula to at least 10 questions
Drill 30 logical reasoning puzzles on seating arrangement and blood relations, writing the arrangement or family tree for every question before choosing an answer
Establish a 6-hour weekly timetable split across weekday micro-sessions and one weekend block, and track it in a single log
Your checkpoint

Mathematics Proficiency & Logical Reasoning
Solve 60 arithmetic questions (time-speed-distance, work, mixtures, simple and compound interest) with a target of 70% accuracy
Practice 25 data-interpretation sets (tables, bar graphs, pie charts) and record time per set to build speed
Complete 30 logical reasoning questions on syllogisms and direction sense, drawing Venn diagrams and direction maps for each
Review every incorrect question from Weeks 1-2 and rewrite the correct approach in your own words

English Proficiency & Aptitude
Read 6 editorial-style passages and answer 30 inference, tone, and main-idea questions, justifying each answer with a line reference
Revise grammar rules for subject-verb agreement, tenses, modifiers, and parallelism, then apply them to 40 error-spotting and sentence-correction questions
Build a vocabulary log of 60 words drawn from reading passages, including usage sentences you write yourself
Practice 20 para-jumble and summary questions using a structure-first approach (opening line, connectors, conclusion)
Your checkpoint

Complete 50 verbal ability questions covering fill-in-the-blanks, idioms, and word usage under timed conditions
Solve 30 critical reasoning questions (assumption, strengthen, weaken, conclusion) by identifying the premise and conclusion in each argument
Write 4 short paraphrases of 100 words each to sharpen precision and concision in expression
Analyse the verbal error log and eliminate the 3 most repeated mistake patterns
Your checkpoint
A verbal and critical reasoning sectional test with a corrected error log and 4 written paraphrases
Mathematics Proficiency & English Proficiency & Aptitude & Logical Reasoning
Take 2 full-length timed mocks covering all four domains and record section-wise scores and time allocation
Review each mock for at least 90 minutes, classifying every error as conceptual, careless, or time-pressure
Refine a section-order and question-selection strategy that maximises attempted questions within the time limit
Re-solve the 30 hardest questions from your error log without notes to confirm retention
Your checkpoint
Two completed full-length mocks with a comparative score sheet and a revised test-day strategy note
Aptitude & Logical Reasoning & English Proficiency & Mathematics Proficiency
Take 3 full-length mocks under strict exam conditions and target a steady improvement in each attempt
Revise the formula sheet, vocabulary log, and error log in three dedicated sessions
Practice 40 rapid-fire questions across all domains to rebuild speed and confidence
Finalise exam-day logistics: section order, time checkpoints, and a skip rule for questions exceeding the time cap
Your checkpoint
A final mock score report showing improvement over Week 7 and a one-page exam-day checklist
Milestones
Week 2: Complete the diagnostic plus two weeks of drills with a documented error log of 40+ questions and arithmetic accuracy at or above 70%
Week 4: Score the first full-length sectional test on Aptitude and Logical Reasoning and confirm all error logs are consolidated into a single revision document
Week 6: Achieve 65%+ accuracy on the verbal sectional test and demonstrate elimination of the top 3 repeated verbal error patterns
Week 8: Complete 5 total full-length mocks with a rising score trend and a finished exam-day checklist
