Hi,

I’d suggest you diagnose your current level of aptitude in English (or Verbal Ability) first. For that, go about the past IPMAT papers VA section and try some questions. Figure out if you can solve at least 25 to 30% of questions or not. If YES, then you might give the self-study a try.

For Mathematics (or Quantitative Ability), I would say that, since you are an art student, please don’t worry if you haven’t been exposed to Mathematics for long. You can start revisiting your Class 9th-10th Mathematics NCERT book. Try and figure out if you can redo questions of Linear & Quadratic Equations, Time Speed Distance, Time and Work etc. If you find it comfortable, then it might be a good-to-go situation for you to go about self-study.

However, if you aren’t able to achieve any of the above, then joining coaching is highly suggested. I would recommend BYJUS Exam Prep since their courses are specially curated different courses in a personalized manner.

Hope this helps.
