Your details

Your plan updates whenever you change anything and press the button again.

IMAT is usually held in late September. Change this when MUR announces the official date.
Days you study each week
Tap a day to switch it on or off. Keep at least one full rest day a week.
Adds clock times to each session. Leave it empty if your days vary.
Where are you starting from?
How confident are you in each section? Weak sections get more time. Strong sections still get regular review.
Topics you have already mastered (optional)

Tick a topic and the plan skips its learning sessions. You still practise it in mixed sets and mocks. Physics and Maths topics show their fixed teaching hours.

Syllabus subtopics you can skip (optional)

Browse the LOCOMOTIVE IMAT 2027 syllabus checklist. Tick only the subtopics you can already answer questions on. Your lessons cover the rest, with time rounded to whole sessions. Practice and mocks can still cover any subtopic.

Your daily routine: meals, gym and breaks (optional)

Your plan works around these, so you never study through lunch. Short breaks between sessions are added automatically. This needs a usual start time.

why it works

How your planner is built

Many IMAT plans are just a list of chapters. This one follows methods that learning research supports.

Weighted to the real exam

Hours follow the IMAT's 60 questions: Biology 23, Chemistry 15, Physics & Maths 13, Logic 5, Reading & GK 4. Physics & Maths follow Locomotive's topic map with baseline hours per topic (101h + 89h). Weak sections get extra practice.

Spaced repetition

When you finish a topic, it comes back for short reviews after 1, 4, 11 and 25 days. Spacing reviews out is one of the most reliable ways to remember more.

Active recall, not re-reading

Every learning session ends with a closed-book summary, flashcards and questions. Testing yourself builds memory far more than highlighting.

Interleaving

Subjects alternate through the day and practice sets are shuffled. You learn to spot the question type, just like in the exam.

Mocks with autopsy days

Full 100-minute mocks under exam conditions, each followed by a review day. Every error is tagged and fixed. The mock alone is only half the value.

Pace you can sustain

Fixed focus sessions with breaks, your own study days and public holidays off, weekly check-ins and a lighter last few days so you arrive rested.

Questions

How many hours a day should I study for the IMAT?

It depends on how much time you have. With 6+ months, 3-4 focused hours on weekdays is enough for most students starting from scratch. With 2-3 months, plan on 5-7 hours. Focused hours matter more than hours at the desk. Choose a number you can really keep up, and change it here at any time.

What do I need to follow this plan?

Your textbook or course notes for each topic, flashcards (paper or an app), a notebook for your error log, and IMAT-style questions: official past papers plus a bank of mocks. Older official papers (before 2023) use a different question split, so use them by section.

What if I fall behind?

Don't try to cram the missed days. Press "Rebuild from today" above your plan. Topics whose learning sessions you have all ticked are skipped, and your reviews and mocks are rescheduled around the time you have left.

Can I open my plan on another device?

Yes. Press "Copy link to this plan" and open the link on your phone or laptop. The link rebuilds the same plan. Ticks and mock scores stay on the device where you entered them.

What happens on a "Mock autopsy" day?

You go through every wrong, blank and guessed question from yesterday's mock. You tag the reason (knowledge gap, misread, calculation slip, time pressure, bad guess), redo each one closed-book, and turn the gaps into repair sessions. This is where most of your score improvement comes from.

Will my ticked sessions be saved?

Ticks are saved in this browser only. For a permanent copy, download the PDF or the spreadsheet and track your progress there.
