Registration is completed today is the last day for CAT.
you need to Prepare since Last year for This year CAT.
It will be the scheduled on November 25th 2018 .
CAT is a Common Aptitude Test Conducted By iim's for the eligibility for the higher studies like MBA / PGDM.
if you score more than 50% in graduation u r eligible for the exam.


Rather than focusing on all the topics, students need to try and select those topics with which they are more comfortable. Even on the exam day, with the question sheet in hand, students shouldn't try to solve each and every question and waste their energy; they should rather spend 5 minutes in scanning a section and selecting questions from their area of expertise and skill.
In order to ace CAT, students should look at questions from previous years' CATs and understand its syllabus. They should assess whether they are proficient, average or need improvement in each of the areas. The areas that fall in the third category should be focused on first followed by second and first.
CAT aspirants should always start early in preparing for the exams as an early start would benefit them in gaining knowledge about the kind of questions to be asked. Another advantage to it can be spending time in developing extra reading habits and increasing vocabulary.
The best way to go on with the CAT 2018 preparations is to evaluate oneself in every 10-15 days, which is done by mock tests. But one thing that students should be careful about is to not to repeat the mistakes made by them in either the mock CATs or while practicing at home or the whole purpose of taking mock tests would be lost.
One thing that is must while preparing for CAT 2018 is to practice on calculations rigorously on an everyday basis. There are never long equations in CAT 2018, the only thing which works is the smart way of calculations which can be mastered by practicing the tricks available in books and internet.

Thanks,
