Start by familiarizing yourself with the CAT exam pattern and syllabus. Break down the syllabus into topics for each section: Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), and Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR).
Begin with the basics of each section. For QA, focus on topics like arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. For VARC, work on improving your reading speed and comprehension skills.
Go through past years' CAT question papers. This will give you insights into the type of difficult questions that can appear on the exam.
When you encounter a difficult question, don't panic. Take a deep breath and read the question carefully.
Allocate a specific amount of time to each question based on its difficulty level. Don't spend too much time on a single question, as it can negatively impact your overall performance.
After attempting a difficult question or a mock test, analyze your mistakes. Understand why you got a particular question wrong.
– If you're struggling with specific topics or concepts, consider seeking help from a mentor, tutor, or online resources.
Maintaining a calm and confident attitude during the exam is essential. Panic can lead to errors. Trust your preparation and problem-solving abilities.
