Under Quantitative Ability, the topics included are Number system, LCM & HCF, Percentage, Quadratic Equations, Binomial Theorem, Functions, Mensuration, Permutation and Combination, Probability, Profit, Loss and Discounts, Simple and Compound Interest, Progressions, Ratio and Proportion, Mixtures and Alligations, Logarithms, Time, Speed and Distance, Time and Work, Trigonometry, Geometery, Problems on Ages, Series and Unitary Method, Set Theory, Data Interpretation and Equations.

Because this section involves mathematics and takes most of your time, your focus should be on solving the problems efficiently in the beginning. Even if it takes time, practise upto perfection. Practise as many questions as you can in the conventional way. As and when you get a grip on the subject, you can go for short cuts. Memorise tables, square roots, cube roots, conversion from percent to fraction, etc. Solve sample papers on Mathematics. In the beginning, do not worry about the time it takes. As you practise, you will get the hang of the subject and it will be easier for you.

Hello Aspirant,

IPMAT is an aptitude  test conducted by IIM Indore for admission to its five year programme. Its a  dual degree programme bachelors and masters in Business Administration.
Now coming to your question, so you have to practice a lot. Mainly there is Arithmetic and Algebra in which you have to focus. Topics like  Ratios, Percentages, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, quadratic equations, time and distance, etc. So, you have to practice a lot in these topics regularly. And besides that try to apply shortcuts and tricks in questions for time management. You should learn table s, square roots, cube roots, square, cubes, ratiosas they will surely enhance your speed.
Take up mock test regularly and prepare from the latest material.

Best of luck:)
