7 years agoNo, it's not tough for any average student. If you prepare daily at least 2- 3 hours yourself for 6-8 months, you can score good percentiles in CAT. Its level is kept high, but most of the time, inclusion is spread about the toughness of CAT. It requires 3 sections to be very strong namely as Data interpretation and analytical reasoning, General comprehension and verbal ability and Mathematical reasoning and analysis. -
It all depends on your preparation. If you are well prepared, practiced a lot, then you will be able to crack CAT (not easily, but yes you can, by putting a little bit of effort). -
No, it is not at all tough for an average student. If you are able to give 2-3 hours daily for 6 months then you can easily crack the CAT. You should be clear with your concepts and how to apply it. Practice more and more AIMCAT'S & purchase some good test series like IMS and many more it will help you a lot. Don't worry there are many good colleges in 60-70percentile slab, so you will definitely land up in good college. Keep going. -
It would be a bit difficult, but if you work hard as you can crack it.
All the best.
