How I Got 50+ on the IMAT

In this video, I go over how I studied for the IMAT, with extra tips I learned during my time in the English medical school in Pavia, Italy. We discuss my background, the format of the IMAT, creating a study plan, using past papers, which online resources to use, which books to use, and things I wish I would have done.

just happened to find your videos and i have to say you did a very good job breaking down the imat and your study plan. Good job. i make videos about going to a private school in milan. i am in second year too. nice to see another med student in italy on here. i also found the critical thinking book to be rather low yield. i found bmat practice questions super helpful too, especially the logic section!

Shalev, can you make a video about the workout routine you go through to lift such a heavy brain over your head? Thanks!

[petyspath]

Thank you Shalev! This was very helpful!

I am absolutely blown away but all these free resources...usually in Italy, they try and do everything to sell you stuff that's supposed to make all the difference, that will get you in any uni you want, so this is quite refreshing. Thank you

I recently found out about this test and i’m pretty interested. I am in grade 11 and going to grade 12 so i still have a year before i can graduate. If I’m planning on applying in 2021 should i take it september of that year or would that be too late?

The IMAT test is scored over what? And what is the minimum and maximum Imat score needed to get into an Italian medical school
Also how minutes to write the exams and how many questions in total

[aeimiahmad]

Haha 25 min study then break
I used to study 16 hour per daytaking break after every 3.5 hours

Thanks for all the videos that helped with my preparation. I took the test yesterday and remembered the answer and will probably have a score of 40, 9. Is this enough to have a chance in later rounds as a EU student?
