Elementary Mathematics is often the 'deciding factor' for IMA/AFA merit. While the syllabus is basic, the application is tricky.

Key Focus Areas

1. Number System: Remainders, HCF & LCM, and prime numbers.
2. Geometry: Properties of circles, tangents, and triangles.
3. Data Interpretation: Bar charts and pie charts are usually easy marks.

Practice Equations

Ensure you are comfortable with expressions like: $$(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$$ $$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$$

Set a timer for 120 minutes and solve 100 questions to build stamina.
