Preparing for IPMAT Indore & IPMAT Rohtak is challenging, and many students unknowingly make common mistakes that lower their scores. These mistakes often stem from poor time management, incorrect preparation strategies, or lack of real-exam practice.
At FundaMakers, we’ve designed our IPMAT mock tests to eliminate these errors before they impact your final exam performance. In this blog, we’ll highlight the top 5 mistakes IPMAT aspirants make and show how mock tests can help fix them for a high score.
1- Ignoring Time Management & Exam Strategy
The Mistake: Many students focus only on conceptual preparation but fail to practice solving questions under time pressure. As a result, they run out of time or fail to complete all sections in the real exam.
How Mock Tests Fix It:
- Timed full-length IPMAT mock tests help you develop a proper time allocation strategy.
- AI-powered analytics track your speed per section, helping you improve time efficiency.
- Past exam pattern analysis ensures that you learn how to prioritize easy questions first.
Pro Tip: Take at least one full-length mock per week to improve your time management skills.
2- Not Practicing with the Real Exam Format
The Mistake: Some students prepare by solving PDFs, books, or static question banks, but they don’t practice with an online test interface. This leads to slow navigation, careless errors, and difficulty in managing sections during the real exam.
How Mock Tests Fix It:
- Exact IPMAT exam simulation with realistic online test environment.
- Section-wise navigation training ensures smooth switching between questions.
- Exam-day pressure handling by replicating actual conditions.
Pro Tip: Solve at least 10 full-length IPMAT online tests before your actual exam day to develop exam familiarity.
3- Weak Question Selection Strategy
The Mistake: Some aspirants waste too much time on difficult questions instead of solving easier, high-scoring ones first. Others blindly attempt every question without filtering out tricky ones, leading to negative marking.
How Mock Tests Fix It:
- Teaches smart question selection by identifying which questions to skip and which to attempt.
- Reduces guesswork-based negative marking by providing real-exam question difficulty experience.
- Improves accuracy rate by training you to focus on high-scoring questions first.
Pro Tip: In mocks, practice the 2-pass strategy—solve easy & moderate questions first, then revisit the tricky ones.
4- Underestimating Logical Reasoning & Verbal Sections
The Mistake: Many aspirants focus heavily on Quant but neglect Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning. This results in a low overall score, especially in IPMAT Rohtak, where Logical Reasoning plays a major role.
How Mock Tests Fix It:
- Dedicated sectional mocks help you strengthen weaker areas like Reading Comprehension & Logical Puzzles
- AI analytics highlight your accuracy in Verbal & LR, so you know where to improve.
- Time-based challenges train you to read, comprehend, and solve Verbal & LR questions faster.
Pro Tip: Spend 30-40% of your total prep time on Verbal and Logical Reasoning, as these sections are often underestimated but highly scoring.
5- Not Reviewing Mock Test Mistakes
The Mistake: Many students take mock tests but don’t analyze their mistakes. Without reviewing errors, they repeat the same mistakes in future tests, which affects their overall performance.
How Mock Tests Fix It:
- Post-mock test analysis tools help track accuracy, weak topics, and time spent per question
- Detailed solutions & explanations ensure that you understand why an answer is wrong.
- Score tracking feature allows you to monitor your improvement over multiple mocks.
Pro Tip: Spend at least 45 minutes reviewing every mock test—this is where real improvement happens!
