Hello dear,

The CAT exam requires a significant amount of time for preparation, including brushing up on basic concepts and practicing advanced problem-solving. Starting too early can feel overwhelming and may not be sustainable with other academic commitments.

The CAT exam requires a level of focus and maturity that is not always present in class 9. Starting preparation at this stage can be challenging to maintain. At class 9, you're primarily focused on learning foundational concepts. So you just need to boost your fundamentals by practicing more and more at class 9 because the Quantitative Aptitude section of CAT syllabus includes all the topics of Mathematics from Class 9 to 10 such as Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry and Mensuration.

Start Preparation 12 Months Prior:

• Begin your CAT preparation around 12 months before the exam date.
• Dedicate 5 to 6 hours daily for studying, focusing on smart work rather than just hard work.

Identify Weak Sections:

• Recognize your weak section at the start of your preparation.
• Allocate more time and attention to improving your weak areas while maintaining practice in all sections

I hope you got your answer, That's all Thank you.
