Are you gearing up to tackle the IMAT exam? Let me share with you my experience from 2016 when I achieved a top 15 score for my university, La Sapienza. The key to success in preparing for the IMAT lies in understanding your own background and tailoring your study approach accordingly.
Personally, coming fresh out of high school with a strong scientific background thanks to my Cambridge A levels in biology, chemistry, and mathematics, I found the scientific components of the exam to be a breeze. Leveraging the same textbooks I used for my A levels, I breezed through the material with minimal additional studying required. A bit of extra focus on physics from online sources was all it took to fill in any gaps.
Logical reasoning is a significant component of the IMAT, and for this, I turned to SAT preparation books for practice, which proved to be incredibly helpful. Additionally, practicing with past IMAT papers, which can be easily found online, is essential for honing your timing and pacing.
In today’s market flooded with IMAT prep books and courses, my experience stands as a testament that a solid high school scientific foundation can pave the way for success without the need for specialized IMAT preparation. So, gear up, stay focused, and trust in your abilities to ace the IMAT!
