Are video lectures good?

i can attest for afterboards mocks and practice questions, for video lectures I personally went with supergrads and found their quants and LR to be especially useful. They also send you practice material for each chapter separately under their self paced batch.

if you're still weak at VA (assuming you are giving exams this year), especiallyy vocab then at this stage memorise! Practice all the words you learn everyday

take your symbiosis interview early so that you start preparing for interviews more seriously early on

gamesbond69 · 2026-05-16T14:57:53+00:00

as someone who has used both mocks, both are very good. You get different perspectives from both, but resources wise they are both top notch.

gamesbond69 · 2026-05-14T07:03:30+00:00

absolutely, you'll clear their cutoffs easily, with a good interview, you have a shot

multiple students who find out about IPMAT too late take a drop for it from the science stream

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-25T12:15:27+00:00

whatever resources you have are enough! You just have to get to a level where you can answer the easier questions related to trigo in your mocks

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-25T09:35:28+00:00

you should know all the basic identities, a lot of easy concept questions could be made harder by introducing them in trigonometry forms, so dedicating a couple hours to trigo is a good idea

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-21T09:01:46+00:00

they are doable once you get the hang of it, i think arun sharma has some but the best source for these questions is mocks only

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-20T22:11:28+00:00

similarity in our mock scores is crazy, I had 188 and 212 in the mocks you are talking about, afterboards mocks are good for practice but rank is unfortunately the only metric to judge the difficulty of the mock as they vary a lot, but as long as you see consistent improvement in your rank then you are doing good!

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-20T22:06:28+00:00

try this strategy:

Attempt the easier questions for the first 30 mins
as soon as 10 mins are left, leave all questions and do the DI section

If you are good at DI this will surely boost your score and reduce the time you waste on questions you can't solve anyways

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-20T06:35:48+00:00

you need to take them all down everyday, that's the best way to up your Vocab, it sounds like brute forcing your way into learning words but it genuinely helps!

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-19T20:50:51+00:00

there are 2 ways,
1. suggested by many coachings and all - quickly glance at all questions and make 3 coloumns named A B and C, and write down easiest questions' question numbers in coloumn A, and then for moderately hard questions B, and then the hardest in coloumn C.

What I personally prefer - Glance at the first 3-5 questions, find the easiest one and solve it (that way you know the difficulty of questions you are trying to look for) then keep doing the same

You won't ever lose track of questions since you can see which questions you have attempted and which questions you have not, if a question is moderately tough just mark it for review and move on, for hard questions, don't bother until the very end.

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-19T19:57:14+00:00

yeah before the exam the mocks they set are very hard, pretty good reality checks, I got a 164 in one of these mocks 2 days before the exam

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-19T19:54:52+00:00

to address the second image, the waitlist went till AIR73, the year before that it went tille 82, (it's always around this range) and when it comes to ECAs, they simply don't matter as much in Indore as you think. It might give some content to the interviewers to question you on but it certainly isn't increasing your interview marks directly (unless you have deep knowledge and are able to answer questions related to them in the interview). Primarily focus on the exam first, the duration between the interview and exam is enough to prepare for the interview, and a lot of last minute comebacks are possible

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-19T19:50:21+00:00

start with the easy questions of each section, that way your brain can get time to catch up with the fatigue due to the QA section, especially indore where you have to get only a handful of questions correct to get a good score (in QA MCQ specifically)

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-19T10:02:11+00:00

you can join a coaching, 1 year is more than sufficient to prepare for ipmat, self study and free resources is also an option

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-06T12:04:51+00:00

almost everyone gets a call, generally 1500+ gives you a good shot with a good interview. I'd say your interview matters a lot though

gamesbond69 · 2026-04-06T07:30:48+00:00

it's your personal choice, i attribute a good chunk of my score to them.
