Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 50-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

Untimed

Every question on one page, loading as you scroll. Choose an option and see straight away whether it was right.

  • No timer. Nothing to start and nothing to submit. Stop whenever you like.
  • Answered as you choose. Tap an option and it is marked at once, with the correct answer shown.
  • Solutions in place. The explanation, and the video where one has been added, sit under the question.
  • Open to guests. Normal practice needs no sign-in.
Real exam conditions

Simulated

Timed CBT

The computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.

  • A clock that does not pause. 50 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
  • Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
  • Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
  • Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.

FAQs about JIPMAT 2021 Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension PYQs

What topics come in JIPMAT verbal ability?
The JIPMAT 2021 verbal section tested reading comprehension, synonyms, antonyms, idioms, one-word substitution, voice, narration, error spotting and jumbled sentences.
How to convert direct speech to indirect speech?
Remove the inverted commas, add a joining word such as that, and change pronouns to suit the speaker. If the reporting verb is in the past tense, the reported verb usually moves one tense back, so present simple becomes past simple.
What is one-word substitution in English?
One-word substitution means replacing a phrase or sentence with a single word of the same meaning. For example, a person who feels at home in every country is called a cosmopolitan.
How to improve reading comprehension for JIPMAT?
Read editorials and science articles regularly and summarise each paragraph in a line. Answer only from what the passage states, not from outside knowledge.
