Tighten the bolt on CAT 2020 preparation

This Sunday is the day you have marked in your calendar as the D-day for the catwalk. 

The CAT is the numero uno of all entrance tests for aspirants pursuing graduation in management. No other test in India hogs the limelight as much as the CAT.

The reason most B-schools across the country accept the CAT score, leave a few who run their house tests like XAT, NMAT, or SNAP. Besides, the IIMs who conduct the CAT use only the CAT score. And an IIM admission is the holy grail of the MBA degree in India. 

Those of you who will be taking the CAT this year are almost ready to bell the CAT. But you might yet look for that final kick to score a goal. Without getting tense, look for quick revision of the sections.

Experts have suggested that a calm mind is the best one to win any competition. Eat healthily and sleep well. Be smart and stay on top.  

Those who have scored 99 and 100 percentiles in previous CAT’s have adhered to a schedule in the final moments:

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

Reding Comprehension

Regular readers of newspapers/articles/books sure score better than the rest. But you cannot skip passages. You must learn to select familiar topics and passages that have direct questions with the least confusing options. When you solve RC, you must:

Paragraph sequencing / completion / elimination

Critical reasoning

Revise words and phrasal verbs

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

You must solve at least four or five DILR sets every day. Prioritize accuracy and dynamic strategy. Analyze the sets for the best approach in solving them. Select questions you can solve quickly and ignore the ones which will need much of your time in solving. 

Practice these topics:

Quantitative Aptitude

Identify topics you are comfortable with and revise them. Do not pick a new topic at this stage. Solve a minimum of twenty questions on one topic to get the comfort you need at the test. 

Revise the following topics: 

Answer the test smartly. 

Wish you all the best!
