IIFT Exam Pattern The IIFT written test is historically conducted in the month of November of the preceding year of the commencement of the program. It is a multiple choice objective type test of two hours and the test areas over the last few years have been Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation, Reading Comprehension, Verbal Ability, Logical Reasoning and General Awareness. The takeaway for the test-taker is to be cautious and not approach the test with pre-conceived notions. For example, if you go for the test with over-dependence on Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation, you may be disillusioned to find more weight given to Verbal Ability questions and vice versa. The attempt has to be judiciously planned while taking the test itself. However, this should not keep you at bay from practicing across different formats of the test. On the contrary, you will evolve as a strategic test taker only after going through a rigor of simulated tests. Preparation Strategy for IIFT Quantitative Ability & selected areas of Verbal ability are concept driven, which means that the questions depend heavily on core concepts. For example, a question featuring a term like "cyclic quadrilateral" is virtually impossible to attempt unless the corresponding concept is known. It is therefore suggested that you prepare the key concepts of Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry & Modern Math in the Quantitative Ability sections in a thorough manner. To tackle the Verbal Ability section, one has to focus on improving one's reading speed because the paper typically features 3-4 Reading comprehensions. Also, you should prepare the basics of grammar in order to solve sentence correction questions. Practice is required to solve usage-based questions like analogy, fill in the blanks etc. A good vocabulary proves to be an asset while solving different kinds of vocabulary questions that feature in the exam. Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning are practice-intensive, practice-intensive, which means that familiarity respect to similar questions is a key determinant here. It is advisable to practice different Data Interpretation question types like pie charts, bar graphs, data tables, line charts & combinations thereof, for the DI section. For Logical Reasoning, you need to practice questions on arrangements, family trees, complex data situations etc for the LR section.
