Depends on how well you have prepared! Normally, a student with a good academic background and sound concepts of physics and mathematics can clear the test with some good preparation. As an indicator of the quality of the admission test and its focus on concepts rather than learning by rote, students with barely 60% marks in the Intermediate Level can sometimes clear the test while students with more than 85% marks sometimes fail to clear the test. So the bottom line is: Consolidate your concepts!
