Which are the best test series for CAT preparation and why?
-
Some mocks are too main stream and suggested by everyone, but to stand apart from everyone, I followed India's first Al based mock test series.
iQuanta's iCAT mocks are one of the finest and carefully designed mock test which are actually at par with the level of CAT unlike others.

I'd say that the iQuanta CAT mock series 2023 is the best mock test series an aspirant can go for. They are launching India's first ever AI Based mock test platform that will help you with efficient mock analysis. You've go to check them out.

I would suggest you to take iQuanta mock series! The level of difficulty, the interface, the solutions, the analysis, everything is so very clear. Also, they are going to launch first ever AI based test series this year, which is definitely going to help you better!
So, if you are a person who is dedicatedly preparing for CAT, go and check them out. -
Mocks are an important part of CAT preparation and analysis of the same is also vital. I would recommend you to take iQuanta’s CAT Mocks as known as iCATs. They are highly relevant to actual CAT questions.
They provide 20 Full Length Mocks, 60 Sectionals (20 in each section) and more than 15 OMETs with video and in depth analysis. They are also launching AI based Mocks on their platform which is a very unique feature not provided by any other institute yet. You can check them out.
Thanks and Happy Learning.

Let me make it clear that I too have my own test series for CAT which I create. So could be little biased. Obviously I believe that my test series is best. As I take enough time per question to make it like a CAT like question - which is difficult. But since I am answering the question, I will put aside my test series and focus mainly on the test series of IMS, Time and CL. Can't comment on others as I don't have much idea.
For the verbal section I would rate IMS the best. From what I have heard from the students who have cracked CAT, they really liked the quality of Verbal section of IMS.

Career Launcher is the best out of main 3 institutes:
CL, IMS and TIME.
IMS and TIME are of higher difficulty level which is not at all required. You just end up wasting your time if you start analyzing mock because they contains questions from the topics which CAT will never ask.
Like in quant, very difficult questions from SET theory, PnC, finding last 3 digits, etc. which will never appear in CAT. You end up doing lot of unnecessary topics and difficult formulas. CAT just checks your problem solving ability under pressure, it does not check how many formulas you can mug up or difficult questions you can solve. Also, many times you will...more -
The test series in which most students enrol and are exhaustive are the ones to opt for. In my opinion, CL and TIME have the highest number of students enrolled for the test series. Hence, the performance in the mock tests gives you a fair idea of your performance and one could predict one's level of preparation. So, I would rate them as the top two. Now, if you slice the test series on the basis of the components of CAT, ie QA/DI and VA/LR, I would say that TIME has a more balanced test series for QA/DI section, whereas, CL has a more balanced VA/LR section. That said, opting for any one of these is going to suffice your prep. At the...more -
CAT is an exam which has maintained its standard for years. Although there are a lot of test series out there, it would be difficult to point out anyone name that would certainly take you over the line. CAT is more about practice than anything else; not letting you drop your guard at any point of time. Any test series would be able to do that for you.
You can check out CL, IMS, TIME (although I do not prefer TIME because of its abnormally high standards).
You can also try out a new series that's into the market, Beatest | Free Test Prep Solution | CAT, Banking Exams which is at an early bird registration stage and provides completely fre...more -
There are many test series available for CAT. I will tell you about my experiences with each of them.
TIME: Time AIMCATS are all India level mock test. These are attempted by most of the CAT aspirants across the country. This means that the [percentile you score in these is a better indicator of where you stand compared to any other mock test series. But TIME mock tests are of higher difficulty level than actual CAT. In a way, it can help you to be prepared for the unexpected. But it should definitely not lower your confidence levels if you score low.
IMS: IMS test series are pretty good. They are not very tough. It can be used as an add...more -
