Focus on Consistency on Weekdays

Full-time employees do not get much time on weekdays and they have to complete their office work and meet those deadlines too.

As there are four sections in IBSAT exam, giving 30 minutes to Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, 30 minutes to Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation is suggested.

Practice Religiously on Weekends

Spare one day of the weekend for revising topics covered during the week. Practice sectional tests of VA, RC, QA and DI. Focus on weak areas to answer questions based on them quickly. Study for at least 3-4 hours.

On the second day of the weekend, take full-length IBSAT mock test session. Attempt the mock tests in the same environment as that on exam day. Follow the rules and regulations to appear for the mock test and do not cheat even if it's just a mock test. This will help give a true picture of preparation and help identify the next step.
