Hello candidate,

The CAT examinations are conducted by the Indian institute of Management for providing admission into various top B- schools of the country. The question paper will be divided into three major sections- Data interpretation & logical reasoning, Verbal ability and reading comprehension, and Quantitative Ability.

Here are some of the preparation strategies which might be of your help-

1. The candidate must keep in mind time management because, it may happen that candidates may end up wasting their prized time even after being aware of the revised exam pattern and syllabus of CAT.

2. Moreover, make an effective timetable that will enable you to cover the topics mentioned in the CAT syllabus 2021.

3. Having the fundamental concepts clear will act as a benefit in CAT 2021, because you can answer the tricky questions in a much simpler way if you have got your basic right.

4. Finally, make a habit of keeping revision note at a place where you can look at them on a regular basis and try to attend sample mock examination in order to know your current level of preparations.

Hope you found it helpful. If you have any further queries feel free to post it here!!

Hello there!
See the general preparation idea for the preparation of every exam is same. You need to follow few tips-
1. Learn your concepts well.
2. Solve as many mocks as you can.
3. Learn well and smartly.
4. Perform well.
Also, as far as self study and coaching is concerned, you can go for either one. There are various online and offline coaching institutes which provide coaching for the same.
You can choose depending upon your comfort and finances. But whichever you choose, a guidance from mentor is must.
Good Luck!
