- Percentile and rank against every other IBSAT aspirant on the same paper
- Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock
Yes, absolutely. Retake any IBSAT mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.
Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.
IBSAT, formally ICFAI Business School Aptitude Test, is conducted by ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education (IFHE).

Crackto mirrors the official marking scheme of IBSAT rather than applying a single blanket rule, so if the real paper penalises wrong answers, the mock does too.
The exact scheme for any given paper — marks per correct answer and the penalty for a wrong one — is displayed on that test's page before you begin, and again in your results breakdown afterwards.
The IBSAT syllabus is set out in full in the syllabus section of this page, broken down by subject area.
Crackto mock tests are mapped to that syllabus, so your section-wise analytics tell you which parts of it you have actually covered and which you have been avoiding.
