- Time it. IPMAT allows under a minute per question, so give a passage with four questions about 4 to 5 minutes, including reading.
- Read for the argument. After each paragraph, ask what the author claims and how it connects to the last one. Note the author’s attitude.
- Answer, then check. Commit before you look. For each wrong option, find the exact word that makes it wrong: too extreme, out of scope, or partly true.
- Read every explanation. Including the ones you got right. If you were right for the wrong reason, you will be wrong next time.
- Log your traps. One line per mistake. After a week, one or two patterns explain most of your lost marks.
