Hello dear student !
Yes, definitely you can crack IPM exam in one month preparation. The IPM examination takes place in the month of may , so technically you have about 1 month for the preparations which is enough if you basics are clear. There are people who cracked the exam in just one month preparation. You have to focus on quantitative aptitude as 60% of the exam is based on it. Rest you can do it , you just need to work hard in that one month.
Hope this will help you
All the best!
