How do I prepare for the CAT and GMAT simultaneously?

The GMAT score qualifies you for a foreign institution, whereas the CAT exam is required for admission to the top Indian Institute of Management. It is challenging but not impossible to prepare for both exams. You can follow the experts' suggestions to prepare for both exams: 1. Find common sections to study in both exams. For example, the reasoning and quant sections are asked in both exams. You can practice these simultaneously. 2. You can also allot a separate time slot to analytical writing, which you can pair with the reading comprehension section of the CAT exam. 3. Understand the different demands of both exams to prepare accordingly. The GMAT prioritizes the verbal section, whereas the CAT prioritizes the quantitative section. 4. Select your study material in such a manner that it has some common books or notes that can be useful in both exams. 5. Give mock tests for both exams on alternate days. For example, if you are giving a GMAT mock on Monday, you should give a CAT mock on Wednesday. Because the GMAT takes significantly less time than the CAT you can begin preparing for the CAT before the GMAT. Also, make sure you leave enough time between the two exams to deal with exam stress.
