You must become consistent with your preparation timing as proper time management plays a key role to scoring high CAT percentile. Four to five month of serious preparation can get you a good confidence level for CAT. Practice and consistency is the key to success. You should ideally put at least 20 hours a week for CAT preparation. The more, the better! Divide your available time to different sections. This will depend on your current level of preparation, what all topics you have already done, whether you are working or not, etc.

Adding to Mini's and Rishi's points. Another point is Answering Strategy It’s a good idea to first read all the questions and quickly attempt a few easy questions on the way. “Generally, CAT exam has at least 20% easy questions. This takes care of 20 easy questions and you are left with 80 problems. Mind you, some one-liners look easy but can be quite difficult. Don’t waste your time on it. Quickly move on,” says Tarun Malik, Academic Head at Career Launcher. Next, attempt questions with medium difficulty level and finally look at the hard questions. Repeat the process for all the three sections.

Another point is selection of Questions: Selection of right questions will be the game changer in CAT 2015 exam. Attempt just 10 questions in a section. But make sure you solve all those questions correctly. Since, a certain time is allotted to each section, candidates can choose to attempt only a few questions to score above the cut-off marks. This strategy is useful for the weaker sections. Never forget about negative marking.

Time management is one of the most crucial part of CAT 2015. This time, 100 questions need to be solved in 180 minutes. So, 34 questions in QA and VRC need to be attempted in 60 minutes and 32 questions in DILR to be attempted in 60 minutes. So speed is an important part of exam strategy. Candidates should focus on building up speed. Avoid spending too much time on a single question. Maintaining a tempo and being wise with time is vital in CAT 2015.
