Hello dear,
.
I say it depends on your work.If.you are really interested in education and career,if you are strong to crack the exam then you need a Lotta hardwork to get it done.
.
Even students after attempting 1 year coaching are unable to clear it,leave it aside.
One who are really dedicated have successfully cleared it.Take this a point.
.
I will help you out with some tips which can help you.
.
Your timetable.what you are willing to do at what time.
.
Your personal notes.make clear points which helps you to remember.
.
Subject time.dont go for only 1 subject for longer time.
.
Group studies if you will be serious without wasting time.
.
Quiz yourself.Question in you a question in different ways.
.
Test yourself every weekend.
.
This will be enough if you follow to crack.But you need more time on education to crack it so that you will cover full syllabus.
.
Hope you know syllabus.If not ask me it will glad to help you.
.
Best of luck

Dear Kajal, yes. You can. CAT is an online examination of 3 hours duration.The questions in the exam will be of MCQ and TITA type totaling 100 questions. MCQ are multiple choice questions, for which candidates get multiple answer choices. Whereas,TITA is Type In the Answer which means you need to write the answer in the text box that is provided. The Verbal Ability section and Data interpretation-Logical Reasoning section have 24 MCQ questions each. Quantitative Ability has 25 MCQ questions totalling up to 75 questions. The Type in the Answer questions are 25 in number.

Each Question has 3 marks and a wrong answer takes away 1 mark. However Type in the Answer questions are exempted from Negative Marking.

First things first, know the syllabus. And go through the previous papers to analyse and prepare a comprehensive plan and set priorities according to the importance of different topics across sections.

Customise your own study plan based on your strengths and weaknesses. Gauge your preparation from time to time by taking mock tests. Solve questions to check your levels of preparation but not to set any targets. Remember, its ok to have cheat days and relax. But make sure you have a plan and stick to it for the next few months because even Rome wasnt built in a day.
