Hi,

You might have heard that CAT is one of the most difficult examinations to crack and is listed with exams like UPSC for it's difficulty level, well it's TRUE. The exam truly tests the endurance, focus and accuracy of the candidate within a comparatively less time period.


Many people who appear for CAT and crack it in the first go with the right amount of Hardwork, focus and dedication.

If you are not familiar about the pattern of CAT, it consists of Vocabulary (English, RCs section), Quant (Mathematics section) and DI & LR ( Graphs, Pictures and reasoning section).

CAT which is a race against time and packed with negative marking scheme.


So there is this link which can help you with detailed CAT prep and so will many other CAT coaching classes, https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/cat-when-and-how-start-preparations/amp&ved=2ahUKEwjE8M7_vOrhAhWK63MBHYiEDzoQFjATegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw3wpWyn9MB0MhMz31UyIRQD&ampcf=1


The real tricks lay beyond the syllabus and that's what you need to master. Its about ability to crack examinations instead of cracking the syllabus.

Best books would CAT books by Arun Sharma, Coaching Institute Material and Test Series, RS Agrawal for DI-LR.

And yes sure you can Bank exams like SBIPO etc with knowledge of CAT, only you might have to brush up on your General Knowledge (GK) for great results.

All the Best!!

Hey prakriti,

You can definitely crack bank PO exam if you have prepared well for cat exam. The difficulty level of bank PO exam is low as comapred to cat exam so its easy to crack bank PO exam if you have prepared well. The difficulty level of questions in bank PO is quite low as compared to cat exam. Also the number of questions are less in Bank PO exam. All you need is speed and accuracy to crack bank PO exam. You have to prepare for GK section as Gk is not asked in cat exam but bank PO paper have Gk section so this is a section which you have to prepare separately.

All the best

Dear Student,

Greetings.

Yes,  preparing for CAT definitely helps clearing the Bank Exams. There is an additional section in Bank Exams compared to CAT syllabus i.e. General Banking Awareness. As you'll be preparing for CAT you have to read newspapers on a daily basis and that will help in both the exams. CAT exam has high level of difficulty. It'll be easy to clear the Bank Exams. The difficulty level of IBPS, SBI is 60-65% of CAT. But you need to take extra care for GK.
