* Test Dates for paper based ACECATs 1-5 are suggested dates and may vary from city to city. Contact your IMS centre to know the exact schedule. Alternately, these can be collected from the centre and taken as take-home tests.

** IMS will be sending you three e-Test Packs (CD format) with a total of 16 comprehensive tests and 30 section tests as follows:

    1. e-Test Pack I (2 SimCATs, 2 AceCATs, 15 Section Tests)           Available by 25th Aug   
    2. e-Test Pack II (2 SimCATs, 2 AceCATs, 15 Section Tests)          Available by 25th Sep
    3. e-Test Pack III (2 SimCATs, 6 AceCATs)                                   Available by 26th Oct

You will get 1 Test Voucher with each of the test packs. Each ‘Test Voucher’ will be valid for only one month and can be redeemed against one Test-Slot in the IMS e-Learning centre within the validity period. The students who register for a time-slot in the first 15 days will take the first of the two SimCATs (in the CD) in the IMS centre while those who register for the next 15 days will take the second SimCAT in the IMS centre. So, in all, every student can take 3 SimCATs in a proctored environment.

Note: All India Percentiles will be given for all the 10 paper based tests as well as the 6 computer based SimCATs. Additionally, percentiles will also be available for 6 e-CATs as well as 10 e-ACECATs.
