How much time does it take to prepare for CAT? My English is not good.

It mainly depends on your consistency and hard work. There are many students who have crack CAT in 1st attempt. I would suggest you to work more on your verbal section and be regular to your practice. Most important don't take stress and be positive. -
Hi Vishvesh,
Preparing for CAT is not that easy. You need to dedicated work hard and smart for it. As you have mentioned that you are a little weak in English, I suggest you to work on it more and on the other sections you should master such that it would cover up for the loss in English. One would not be able to define in terms of months or weeks. You need to consistently work on it. For some Just 5 to 6 hours of genuine study is enough whereas for some even 15 hours are not enough. So you according to your caliber decide and start working on it from now on. Good Luck Mate. -
It depends on student's capability. As you are weak in English, then in that case it will take a year or so to build your understanding on RC's, as it is a most important part of CAT exam. With English, focus on other subjects as well. Good luck. -

7 years agoHi Vishesh,
There is no fixed amount of time that one has to invest in order to clear. It all depends on how much you practice and devote time in clearing the concepts. And, if your English is weak, try working more on your verbal and manage your time accordingly. I believe minimum 5-6 months would be required to do so, if you are consistent. Hope that helps. All the best.
