Hi Sudheer, 

To crack CAT and score a percentile as high as 97, you need to be proficient in each section. You cannot afford to be weak or lose marks in any of them. I am listing a few resources. Please go through them, and know how to strengthen and work on each of the sections.

How to Prepare for CAT Quantitative Ability (QA)How to prepare for DI & LR

In order to prepare well, you need the best study material. You may join a coaching institute to aid your preparation and study from the material given by them. If you plan on studying by yourself, please go through the Best Books for CAT Preparation. Additionally, you will have to explore how to manage your time for CAT, I suggest you go through the Sectional Time Management Tips for CAT 2018.

To get a better foothold of each section, taking sectional mock tests would be highly beneficial. I cannot stress on the significance of mock tests enough, especially the analysis of mocks. Try to give as many mock tests as possible in a timed manner to get a feel of CAT and get habituated to sitting for three hours in front a system, if you already aren’t. Please take a look at -

Goodluck!

Hi Sudheer! In order to get 97 percentile, you need to score in a range of 134-141. For details, refer to the article below:
