KMAT study plan
KMAT · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Diagnose baseline accuracy in quantitative aptitude by completing 40 mixed arithmetic questions under timed conditions
Classify every missed question by error type (concept gap, calculation slip, misread, time pressure) to build a personal error log
Relearn core arithmetic fundamentals: percentages, ratios, averages, and profit-loss, then solve 30 targeted practice items
Memorize multiplication tables to 20 and squares to 30 to cut calculation time
Your checkpoint
A written error log covering 40 attempted questions with error categories and a scored baseline sheet
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Master time-speed-distance and time-and-work problem setups by solving 25 questions of each type
Apply shortcut techniques (unitary method, efficiency ratios, relative speed) and log which shortcut fits which problem pattern
Reduce average solve time per quantitative question to under 90 seconds across a 30-question drill
Review the week-1 error log and confirm no repeat of the same error type
Your checkpoint
A one-page shortcut reference sheet plus a 30-question timed drill score with per-question timing
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Solve 20 questions each on permutations-combinations, probability, and number systems with step-by-step written solutions
Practice mensuration and geometry formulas by computing areas, volumes, and surface areas for 15 mixed figures
Build a formula card deck covering all quantitative formulas encountered so far and self-test it twice
Complete a 45-minute mixed quantitative sectional test and analyze the result
Your checkpoint
A completed formula card deck (minimum 40 formulas) and a sectional test score report with a correction list
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Interpret tables, bar charts, line graphs, and pie charts by extracting values from 15 data sets without a calculator
Practice percentage-change, ratio-comparison, and approximation techniques on data interpretation sets
Complete two full data interpretation sections of 20 questions each within 30 minutes per section
Consolidate the error log across weeks 1-4 and rank remaining weak areas
Your checkpoint
Two timed data interpretation section scores plus a ranked weakness list of the top five remaining gaps
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Solve 30 logical reasoning items spanning syllogisms, blood relations, seating arrangement, and coding-decoding
Practice assumption, conclusion, and inference questions by writing a one-line justification for each chosen answer
Complete a 30-question reasoning set under a strict 30-minute limit
Identify the two reasoning question types with the lowest accuracy and drill 15 of each
Your checkpoint
A reasoning accuracy table by question type showing before-and-after drill accuracy
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Read four passages and answer 20 comprehension questions, distinguishing main idea, inference, tone, and detail questions
Practice verbal ability items on synonyms, antonyms, analogies, and sentence completion, recording 60 new vocabulary words with usage sentences
Apply para-jumble and grammar-error techniques to 25 questions and note recurring traps
Time a full verbal section of 30 questions in 25 minutes
Your checkpoint
A 60-word vocabulary log with usage sentences and a timed verbal section score
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Review current affairs from the past six months across business, economy, national policy, awards, and sports
Take three 10-question general awareness quizzes and log every incorrect fact for spaced review
Complete one full-length mock test under exam conditions and record section-wise timing
Analyze the mock test to allocate remaining study hours toward the weakest section
Your checkpoint
A mock test scorecard with section-wise accuracy, timing breakdown, and a written revision priority list
MBA admission test (quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, verbal ability, reading comprehension, logical reasoning, general awareness)
Take two full-length mock tests under strict exam timing and simulate the actual section order
Review every incorrect answer from both mocks and re-solve each until the correct method is reproduced independently
Rehearse the formula card deck and vocabulary log for final consolidation
Finalize an exam-day strategy covering section order, per-question time caps, and skip rules
Your checkpoint
Two final mock scorecards with error analysis and a written one-page exam-day strategy sheet
Milestones
Week 4: Quantitative and data interpretation baseline accuracy has improved by at least 15 percentage points over the week-1 baseline, and the error log shows no repeated calculation-slip pattern
Week 6: Logical reasoning and verbal sections each reach at least 70 percent accuracy under timed conditions, with a documented list of remaining weak question types
Week 8: Both final full-length mocks are completed within the time limit, overall accuracy is stable or rising across the two attempts, and the exam-day strategy sheet is finalized
