What should be your mindset while preparing for the CAT exam?

You need to have an optimistic mindset while preparing for the CAT exam. The CAT exam does not only test your knowledge but also your test-taking ability. The exam is a real test of how you will manage your time and efforts to give your best at the deadline. As a CAT aspirant, one must focus on self-improvement; else you will either get stuck with speed issues or get distracted by accuracy. To be successful, you will need to maintain a balance between speed and accuracy. For this, you need to practice as many CAT previous year's questions as you can. Keep track of progress in your weak areas and make a proper schedule to improve. Also, you should not have self-doubt, or else it will undermine your real abilities. Self-doubt can affect whatever you have prepared for the CAT exam during the examination. Just keep reminding yourself that CAT percentile is the key to your dream IIM. Best wishes.

Hi dear, It depends on how you want to SEE it and practice throughout your preparation. CAT exam can become very easy when you work hard. The foundation step to ace the CAT in first attempt is always clearing the basic concepts from all the corners of your syllabus and practicing throughout the duration of your practice. If you are clear about the basics of 12th syllabus of Quantitative Aptitude Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension, then you are more than sufficient to appear for CAT. You should maintain a to-do-list to complete all your topics in a day of a particular section. Sticky notes make things quirky way to remember. Along with the full-length mocks, practicing sectional mocks is equally important. Giving a full-length mock once a week will help you strategies and find multiple ways to appear in CAT. Hope it helps! Thankyou:). .
