All
you need to do is maintain focus and discipline towards CAT
preparation. You have only one target for next 3 months and that is CAT 2018. So most of your time should be spent in preparing for it.
CAT
preparation requires 300–500 hours in total which you can put in next 3
months. Devote 7–9 hours everyday to CAT preparation and you will
definitely score a decent percentile and will get a good MBA college.
In
these months , self-disciple is going to play a very important role for
you. Your thoughts. Your emotions. Your behaviors. And your habits. All
of them must be kept in check. Set targets everyday in the morning and
before going to bed, check if they are completed. Try and manage to
complete the targets on time. It can be done by making a right strategy
for preparation and following it religiously. Smart study is required to
get a good percentile in CAT EXAM. Basically you need to put your efforts in
the right direction.
Before starting the preparation, know about the exam. Also, know the CAT Syllabus & Weightage of each section.
- CAT is a 180 minutes exam consisting 100 questions having maximum 300 marks.
- It comprises 34 from Quantitative Ability (QA), 34 from Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), and 32 from Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR).
- The question paper will consist of both multiple choice questions and numerical answer type questions.
Plan your preparation. Your plan should include syllabus completion, revision, and practice tests.
Build Basics. This
is the most important part of preparation. If you will be good with the
basics, you will be able to solve all types of questions based on that
particular topic just with the help of basics and practice.
Practice. You
have a limited time for preparation but still try to practice as much
as you can. Take out the books from market or you may practice from
study materials of leading coaching institutes like TIME, IMS, CL.
Mock tests for analysis. This
is the part on which majority of toppers emphasize. The reason being
for the same is that you come to know about your weak areas only after
writing mocks. Once you know them don’t let them be your weakness
anymore. Also writing mocks will make you less nervous in the exams. So
write at least two mocks every week after completing 75% syllabus. And
write a mock every alternate after completing the syllabus.
Learn from your mistakes in mocks. You’ll
observe many silly and major mistakes after writing mocks and you can’t
afford to repeat in the main exam. So it’s better to learn from them
and move on. I would recommend you to make the notes of your mistakes so
that you don’t make the same mistakes again after reading those notes
twice or thrice.
