Detailed IMAT Syllabus

Introduction to IMAT Preparation

Prepare for IMAT with Confidence!

Our syllabus is designed in line with official IMAT guidelines to cover every topic thoroughly.
Each section targets the knowledge and skills required to succeed. This IMAT syllabus has
been considered from the past year, there can be minor changes in 2025 but mostly the
syllabus will remain the same.

Section 1: Reading Skills and General Knowledge

Ability to understand written English texts across various domains.

Skills Tested:
Understanding specialized vocabulary in context.
Identifying textual cohesion and coherence.
Extracting specific information from texts.
Question Types:
Short texts on scientific nonfiction, fiction, current events, law, economics, and
citizenship.
Testing awareness of major national and international institutions.
Reading Comprehension and Knowledge and Information Test
To be able to do this test, there’s a need to be able to comprehend written English texts
of all sorts and for all the types of communication. This is because all the questions –
including those with symbolic language – will be in English. In other words, all the
questions no matter what their content or purpose will be comprehensible only if one
knows English quite well.
The following skills will also be specifically tested:
The ability to comprehend easily academic, out of ordinary or esoteric words in real life
situations.
Le développement des premiers conceptsreste explicitement tributaire à cette mise en
évidence des phénomènes de cohésion et de cohérence textuelles.
 Getting and deducing salient specifics of the given text.
These skills will be practiced from short texts of scientific nonfiction or fictions, classic or
modern, or short texts of current events in a newspaper or the general or special
magazine.

It will comprise questions given in relation to short texts that range over the most
subjects and types. These questions will check what has been learnt in past classes and
general world culture and events knowledge, whether global or local, whether things that
are considered major globally or distinctions being made that are current in today’s
society. Specifically, the questions will be designed to determine the following:

This includes the skills to position historical and cultural phenomena in space and time,
that is in represented space and time.
Familiarity with institutions that are gourmet and established on the national and
international levels
Awareness of facts and situations which can be valued by the jurist, economist or a
citizen.
