10 Key Steps for an Effective CAT Test Preparation Plan

How to Handle the GATE 2022 Exam Pressure

CAT is a speed and accuracy test. Practice as many CAT question papers and mock tests as you can to improve speed and accuracy.

During CAT exam preparation, measure your performance after each CAT mock test. Analyze strengths and weaknesses to work upon them more.

[{"selector":"#anim-13dddd61-a02d-4364-b4ec-dfc74763bd69","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9a80132-937f-4fbb-9634-b1358cdabb26","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -142.10982%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-de24838a-58ae-45a4-aaa8-d617609fe36e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] CAT Test Prep.

Solve each question at least thrice, because in the first attempt, you will understand it, in the second attempt you will solve it faster, and in the third attempt, you may discover a shortcut.

[{"selector":"#anim-7572e791-da1d-4334-8fe2-1f1827ea2f80","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8257ae19-84e2-4fc2-81f2-69d2565fe935","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -142.10982%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4fba659-cdd5-4773-8118-0cb68f333563","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

CAT exam has a sectional time limit, which means you need to complete each section within the stipulated time frame.

[{"selector":"#anim-19e7cf83-6b43-4170-a394-d8b8ae6ac47b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c66fbfbc-5353-4aa7-ba52-de009f40d8ab","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -142.10982%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1db1be06-44f8-49e7-a164-1812e98e4c99","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

CAT exam has negative marking. For each wrong answer minus one mark is deducted. To avoid this, learn the trick of selecting the right question for you.

CAT has a sectional cut-off limit, so do not ignore any topic. The sectional cut-off directly affects the overall CAT percentile and selection in WAT-GD/PI.

Keep your CAT preparation optimum but do not overdo anything. If you have prepared certain topics already. Do not work on them again and again. Focus on topics that are still your pain points.
