Hi Dave!

IPMAT consists of 3 sectors.

1. Aptitude( 40 questions), this sector comprises of maths ranging from class 10 to 12 and a bit basics physics(mainly from 9th and 10th), mental ability questions.

2.Integer type ( 10 questions, non negative), this could be anything , can be either maths or mental ability or any general question.

3. Verbal( 40 questions), jumbled, adjective, fill in the blanks etc . *

There are many books available by Pearson or any prime publisher. Apart from that do look for online test papers and mock test papers. There are couple of paid practise papers but they make you practise both section and topic wise and allow one to strenghten accordingly.

Hope this answers your query, all the best
