Focus on Strengths: Prioritize revising your strengths from the last three years of school before addressing weaknesses.
Make Use of Breaks: Utilize breaks for activities like reading books and taking notes to indirectly support JIPMAT preparation.
Pay Attention to VARC Last: As VARC is often considered the easiest section, prepare for it last.
Mock Tests and Past Papers: Practice extensively with mock tests and review previous IPMAT question papers to gauge JIPMAT's difficulty level.
Math Review: Revisit Math concepts from classes 10, 11, and 12 to prepare for the Quantitative Ability section.
