Hii there! As you step into the so-called "admission war", I hope you take your time to think and make the best decisions for yourself. Ask yourself why you want to prepare for IBA, and then ask yourself whether you should. If you still proceed, try to figure out how to prepare for IBA. Then, research about what to learn, where to practice, and when to test. Let me help you out. All underlined texts here are links that redirect you to that information.

Why:
If you want to have a business degree, a fun university life, a secure career at a corporate 9-5, and enough free time to explore your interests, then preparing for IBA might be suitable for you. To know more about the specifics, you can go to LinkedIn and look into the Alumni Tab of DU IBA. You can also explore the topic on youtube and other social media for a better understanding of what IBA is and what IBAites do.

Whether:
Let's assume you are very passionate about studying at IBA. But should you prepare for IBA?
Well, the answer is "no" for most people. Because the admission test is very competitive and only 1% get in.
So, if you have a decent aptitude, you may have a shot. Otherwise, it's better to focus elsewhere.
If you can score at least 30% in each section of the assessment test on this website without any preparation, then you might have a decent chance. There are a lot of stats on the test result page to help you out with that decision. To assess yourself, visit tathirmichil.com/test.

How:
Now let's say you did decide to prepare for IBA. How should you do it?
Well, you need to understand the curriculum, learn the topics, practice more and more, and test yourself on a regular basis.

For classes and guidance, you get a home tutor or join a batch by a good instructor.
Keep the following two criteria in mind to make a good decision:
1. If they did well on the IBA exam themselves. 2. If they prepared well themselves.

If these fit, they are more likely to be a good teacher as well. You can reach out to me if you want to find a good home tutor in your area. I can refer someone good, as I know many of them.

If you're selecting a coaching centre, choose the nearest Mentors' branch, because commuting far will waste your time and energy. You should not compromise your self-prep time for anything else. That's the most important part.

What:
If you are done learning all about a particular topic, what should you practice?
For practice questions, the IBA book itself will suffice. Most people won't even complete the IBA book yet panic about 10 different resources. It's not necessary whatsoever. But if you're a real try-hard, you can go for more:

Barron's SAT for Error Detection, Sentence Correction, and Sentence Completion.
GMAT Official Guide or Review (any) for Sentence Correction, Data Sufficiency, and Critical Reasoning.
GRE Big Book for Puzzles, Analogy, and Sentence Completion
Mentors' Math Question Bank for Math.
Word Smart I and II for Vocabulary.

If you are not on the Tathirmichil website, use these websites for good IBA-like questions:
Cracksat.net , GMATClub.com , Examveda.com, gre.myprepclub.com.

^these are MORE THAN ENOUGH for a complete preparation. Don't stress too much about whether you're doing the best thing. Just do what you can.

Where:
After you've gone through the syllabus, you should sit for full-length mock tests to build your exam hall strategies so that you don't fumble on the big day. The best way to build this is by starting with the past papers of IBA. For offline mock tests, you can enrol through tathirmichil.com/offline one month before the IBA exam. If you join one of our batches, you don't need to enrol for the offline tests separately.

When:
September-October: Practice the sections and topics you're weak in based on the assessment test. Karon ogulatei passing bar miss jawar chance beshi and more areas of improvement. Search for classes on YouTube. Google/ChatGPT the questions you can't solve. Get a tutor or join a batch if you want some additional help. After you learn the topic, practice the questions from a book or website. Then test yourself.
November: Start solving all the topics together through mock tests. Try to secure 40% marks in each section in every mock throughout. The IBA exam is likely to happen in November or December this year.
