1. Anatomy of a 60+ Score on the IMAT
Achieving 60+ points puts candidates comfortably above cutoff ranks for Milan, Bologna, and Pavia. Out of 90 maximum points (60 questions), scoring 60+ requires a calculated approach balancing accuracy and calculated skips.
2. Negative Marking Management (-0.4 Rules)
Each incorrect answer carries a -0.4 point penalty. Avoid blind guessing on questions where you cannot eliminate at least 2 or 3 options. A question left blank awards 0 points and preserves your baseline score.
3. Biology & Chemistry Weighting Priorities
Biology and Chemistry account for the lion's share of the test. Master molecular biology, cellular metabolism, genetics, and organ systems first, alongside stoichiometry, chemical bonding, and acid-base equilibria.
4. CBT Timed Mock Strategy & Mistake Notebooks
Complete at least 10 to 12 timed CBT mocks under strict 90-minute examination conditions. Log every missed question in an active mistakes notebook to target recurring conceptual errors before exam day.
