With less than 50 days left for CAT, you should quickly brush up basics and revise all chapters within next 15days. After that give 5mock papers or last 5year papers for CAT to get complete understanding. Alternative is you can join CAT time series for mock exams where you would get solutions set, weaknesses report and percentile as per normalized method. In the end, focus in your mistakes and make them your strengths. Cheerypick some good questions only where you feel are confident enough to go right for final CAT exam day, and make sure you dont consume lot of rime for d same. All the best, with this strategy you can hope for good percentile.

I would suggest you to follow the basic thing first. Give a mock and then see your score. Your score will reflect your weaker zone. Start giving more time on those sections. Since days are very less, you really need to push hard. Make a schedule and start following it religiously. Give one and half hour extra for your weaker sections. Try to cover your basics by October end and in between give a mock per week. Always do deep analysis (strongly recommend) of your mocks. After October, start solving pervious years mocks and increase your frequency of giving mocks as two per week. Repeating, mock analysis is important because you learn hell lot of things from your mistakes. If you follow this diligently then you will end up scoring very well.

As less than 2 months are left for CAT exam so quickly brush up with your basics and start giving lots of online mock test which will help you in overcoming your mistakes and come up with a strategy to attempt your paper which will definitely help you in improving your marks and percentile.

In this short time making your basics strong and attempting one paper each day with analysing solutions will help you in doing well in CAT exam.

All the best for your preparations and exams!!

It is possible to get a good percentile if you start preparing rigourously from now.

First of all revise all the concepts from any of the preparatory books like by Arun Sharma or others. Then practice questions from all areas. You should also start taking mocks after your preparations are complete.

The most important thing for CAT is that you give as many mock tests as you can. Register on sites like testfunda and oliveboard and subscribe to their tests. Mock tests will give you an idea of which topics are you weak in. Concentrate on them and practice those areas. They will also give you an idea about how to manage your time and where you stand. It will help you get acquainted with questions also.

Remember to give tests which a lot of people give as otherwise you will not get an idea of where you stand actually. Practice is the key. I can't stress how much important mock tests are.

Have clear concepts and monitor your mock test scores. Build your comfort around your weak areas. Mock tests should be the focus mainly.
