Which are the most important topics to focus for IBSAT preparation?

There is nothing like an important topic for the preparation. You have to go with complete preparation for the exam. There are a number of exams conducted in India for the MBA type courses. Exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, MAT, IBSAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc. have some minor tweaking and variations apart from the main sections. Each of these exams has quantitative aptitude, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and data interpretation, apart from GK or essay writing section in some of the exams. So, you have to prepare accordingly for these exams either by taking coaching classes or correspondence course or by self-preparation or by following recommended books. After you have prepared for the most difficult level questions, you may try to get some question banks for the specific exam you are targeting either offline mode i.e. books on exams or online mode i.e. free question banks websites or paid question banks for practice.

By the way of introduction, I am an alumnus of IIM-Indore (2016 Batch). I would like to answer this question in a different way, apart from the regular important syllabus topics which can be easily understood by solving practice papers and past year papers, other very important topics are to focus on your self. How to prepare for the paper is the most important topic according to my personal experience. Following are the areas and tips on which a candidate should focus: -Make daily/weekly targets and pen down each of them. -Revise the syllabus as per the study plan. -Solve previous years questions as per time frame guidelines of the actual exam. This will give you a look and feel of the actual exam. -Manage your time well. -Keep calm and stay cool. -Plan out well and revise the syllabus with the help of tools like, last years papers, mock exams, pressure and speed tests. All the best.
