    Focus on your strengths and weakness like you planned to. However, exam taking strategy will change. Candidates have to attempt each section for 60 minutes. There's no option of attempting your the strongest section first or last - it's all decided by CAT authorities. Non-MCQ questions are making an entrance this year. Iims haven't revealed any information about it. Irrespective of the difficulty level of non-MCQ questions, definitely attempt it, 'cause there's no negative marking here. I hope this will help you. Good luck.

    The changes mean that CAT as an MBA entrance test, is evolving. It means that Iims still haven't reached an ideal test pattern and may keep experimenting with strategy. As for preparation strategy, aspirants shouldn't change anything. Focus on your strengths and weakness like you planned to. However, exam taking strategy will change. Candidates have to attempt each section for 60 minutes. There's no option of attempting your the strongest section first or last - it's all decided by CAT authorities. Best of luck.

    The sectional time limit which was withdrawn in 2014 had helped the CAT takers to focus more on their strong areas in the exam. However, the sectional time constraint of one hour was reintroduced in 2015. It is possible that IIM Lucknow may again allow it. Testing window in CAT 2017 may go to 2 days from present 1 day as the aspirants have been demanding it since last year
    Change in number of Non-MCQs could be there or the Non-MCQs may remain absent in CAT 2017. In 2016 IIM Bangalore reduced the number of Non-MCQs from 28 to 25. It is very much possible that this number is reduced further. Another anticipation of the aspirants is that I
