Hi @Omka.Madan67

Yes, IBSAT is relatively easy to crack. The exam is designed to assess a student’s overall understanding of concepts, rather than focusing on in-depth knowledge of specific topics. With adequate preparation and practice, most students can achieve a good score on the IBSAT.

Hope this answers your query.
