As you must know any national level exam like CAT requires a preparation par excellence to get you into your dream college. And it requires us make decisions from the very beginning. This is where smartness comes into play. I will break down the answer into multiple phases right from the beginning to the end. Depending upon your capabilities and how much time you will be able devote on your per day basis, you can decide whether you need a coaching or do it by yourself. There might be pros and cons to both the sides. Don't run much. Look at your own academic career, analyse it. See at what point of time in your life you had the need of your tutor. Compare it with your current scenario like what it is you are aiming for and is it possible for you to get there without a continuous support from a mentor. This has to be done by you. With sheer honesty. You will come up with your answer. Now once decided, you can opt for self study or classes. Classes again create a dilemma like which one to choose and what should be the medium. Online or Offline. Online / Offline : Now this is where you need to get out of your comfort zone. You might be well acquainted with offline classes. But just think, is it okay to go for offline classes just because you have been accustomed to it, or won't it be better to go for something that promises more and is more aligned with your goal? If you are a working professional then have a look at your routine/shifts and then decide which one benefits you the most. Learning on the weekend offline or throughout the week online. If you are still studying then see how you can do manage with your daily routine. But yes. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. CAT requires this much. Which one to choose : DON'T run after the names in the market (I am not defaming anyone). Instead look for the place which meets your capabilities. For instance, everyone has their own grasping power. If a person will go for a coaching that is in a hassle to complete its course only then, please DON'T GO FOR IT. Instead chose a place which looks for clearing doubt of each and everyone before moving to the next topic. If you are really good at learning new things in first go then good for you and if you are not then even better. So, in simple words look out for a place where you personal care is guaranteed.
