Know IBSAT Pattern and Test Structure

You will have to be mindful of each and every detail of IBSAT pattern before the exam. Take a look at the important facts mentioned below-

IBSAT syllabus is divided into four sections, namely-

a) Verbal Ability (VA)

b) Quantitative Aptitude (QA)

c) Data Adequacy & Data Interpretation (DA/DI)

d) Reading Comprehension (RC)

The maximum weightage of marks is based on questions in the Verbal Ability section (50 questions of 1 mark), followed by Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Aptitude, Data Adequacy & Data Interpretation all of which will contain 30 questions in each of the sections. 

Revise Broad Topics 

If you have appeared for any of the entrance exams- CAT, MAT, IIFT, or SNAP, by now, you must have covered a good portion of IBSAT syllabus, and it is important that you do not keep those portions untouched. Revise them, and do not just be in a rush to cover every part of the syllabus. Neglecting topics that you may be strong in can turn out to be disadvantageous. Do not start new topics and try to understand new concepts at this stage. Neither will you be able to learn those nor will you have time to improve the concepts or practice. 

Time Your Revision Method in the Learning process

A large part of the last-minute preparation process is dependent on how you time the entire learning process. This will eventually help you in attempting questions in better ways in 120 minutes in IBSAT 2023. Devote much time to practising IBSAT sample papers during the time selected for revision of covered portions of the syllabus. Also, analyse your own rhythm and pace while you are attempting questions from previous years' IBSAT question paper. At the same time, you need to keep in mind that this year questions may come in a twisted format than they came in the previous years. In such situations, how will you solve those questions? You may even build your own set of questions and solve them by adopting various approaches.

Review Your Own Notes

You must surely prepare your own notes and keep doing that but take out time to cross-check. Therefore, in case you miss out on something more important while you were jotting simultaneously when covering a particular section, you may, later on, be able to cover that area. This helps at the quantum level. Similarly, check the data in the quantitative techniques and important data interpretation and questions to remember them for a long time. Check if you are still struggling to remember any formula or Data Interpretation and create fresh notes on it. Mark them bold so that you lay more emphasis on them in the last 15 days of preparation before the exam day.

Approach Last-Minute Preparation on a Positive Note

Much of your last-minute preparation tips for IBSAT exam are dependent on how positive you feel inside about attempting questions than mastering everything. Do not panic rather, keep your nerves cool and revise every topic enthusiastically. Think you still have time in your hands to answer all the questions right with your focused and smart IBSAT preparation strategy. Importantly, follow your own preparation strategy and you are there to top the exams. Good luck!
