Hi Sidharth,

CAT 2018 is just 3 months away. You should start solving mock test papers to analyse where you stand in terms of preparation. By solving and analysing your performance in mock tests, you would get to know your strong and weak areas. Taking a professional help in mock analysis is a good idea. You can even join a mock test series at any MBA coaching institute. You will get a professional guidance.

To know more about CAT preparation in the last three months, you can refer to the tips given by CAT exam toppers of previous years. Visit the links below to get all the tips about CAT preparation -

Hello,

You need to do really hardwork to have good percentile. You need to study atleast 10-12 hours per day to crack it.

You should start doing online test which will help you to increase speed within time limit as CAT test will be online. Revise all concepts amd basics properly which will help you.

Thank you.

Good luck!

These three months for CAT'18 aspirants are really crucial and can be a game changer.

For all those who have already been preparing since some time ago, use these months efficiently to give as many mock tests as possible, sitting religiously for three hours to accustom yourself to the exam pattern. Also, give section mock tests to know your specific strengths and weaknesses. Analysis of these mocks are even more important and may take more time than expected. But remember, it is this analysis that will strengthen your concepts.

For those who are going to begin preparation, it's very important that you divide your time appropriately so that you brush up all the important concepts of each section. One of the routines that you can follow is devoting half part of your preparation time for conceptualising each section, and rest half for questions solving. Following this for, say, one month will give you a basic idea of all the concepts. The more the questions you solve, the more variety you get in each concept. For the next few months, start giving mock tests.

Feel free to ask any more doubts.

All the best!!

hi, Sidharth,

let's start with the basics.

If you don't have any knowledge regarding CAT, I would suggest you to visit a local coaching class in your vicinity and enquire about CAT, its format and if possible anyway to get sample questions papers from them.

if you are convinced by them, you can join crash courses they provide. It would help you to get a broad perspective of CAT and its structure. If you join coaching, there is a high possibility to gain some extra knowledge regarding the exam and you may also get some tricks to pace up your solving.

And, if you want to study on your own, I would suggest referring ARUN Sharma's book for practising quants and LR - DI. For Preparation of VA-RC, i would suggest you to read some philosophy books, newpapers and try to solve as many passages within a time limit.

Try to increase your reading speed.

lastly, I would suggest to solve as many mock tests weekly or if possible on daily basis and analyse your performance.
