Not at all. CAT tests you on the 10th standard maths, data interpretation and English. You can purchase books like Arun Sharma or take some coaching material like that of time and study on your own. Take mocks and go for cat.

No doubt, you have to study books on your own to face the Test. But, you see, for speed practice, coaching may become necessary. You can't get any interaction at home. So, you won't know how others are doing. So, it is good, if you go for coaching.
