Scale: IMAT (90 marks, +1.5 / −0.4).

How IMAT is conducted

• Mode
  Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
• Test format
  Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.

IMAT time strategy

With 60 questions in 100 minutes, you have about 100 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:

• Reading, General Knowledge & Logical Reasoning (16 Q)
  Target ~101 sec/question. If a question takes more than 152 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Biology (18 Q)
  Target ~100 sec/question. If a question takes more than 150 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Chemistry (12 Q)
  Target ~100 sec/question. If a question takes more than 150 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Physics & Mathematics (14 Q)
  Target ~99 sec/question. If a question takes more than 149 seconds, mark for review and move on.
