There are several avenues, one can seek to prepare for CAT. But, the issue with online platform is the lack of regularity. So, I would advise classroom coaching. If someone is working, they may opt for weekend classes. I too prepared via combination of online and offline coaching. What helped me secure 98 percentile in my CAT were 1. Facebook CAT preparation groups. They are easy to have a quick idea of the questions. The group was very active and helped me get a high level view of the variety of questions that one can encounter. Also, several top scorers were moderating the group ensuring a good set of questions. 2. CL Online tests- If one joins CL/TIME, they shall have the advantage of access to an online repository or question bank. This repository has questions from various sections of QA/DI and VA/LR as well as mock tests. With CL, you even had questions segregated into levels so that you can progress in an incremental fashion. Also, you could solve questions on the go with the help of an app. 3. Handa ka Funda- Ravi Handa has his web based CAT coaching which is exhaustive and is not too expensive. You may ask for a trial class to see for yourself. 4. Career Anna- I joined it for their GK course. I had calls from IIFT and TISS and wanted to strengthen my GK prep. Their GK capsule is pretty good and can help you give that extra bit to this very important section. That said, there is no need to have multiple channels of preparation tick to one, if need be. But, be regular and religious. That will definitely ensure success.

CAT exams are difficult to crack. So, proper preparation is very important. I don't think online coaching can do anything beneficial for you. Some online website which offer online coaching are: 1. CL 2. TIME These three are the best online coaching platform for CAT. CAT coaching is very beneficial, if you do it in class. A lot students who do CAT Coaching from TIME is getting seats in IIMS. CAT coaching emphasis on lot of factors like: 1. Quantitative aptitude 2. Logical reasoning 3. General awareness 4. Comprehension 5. Verbs and tenses 6. Mathematical analysis. So, I suggest you to go with class room session instead of spending time on online coaching. Classroom session along with online mock test is very useful. TIME also provides these kind of services. CAT is easy to pass, if you are dedicated towards the preparation.

As per my experience, the best online coaching for cracking CAT, XAT, SNAP, TISSNET and other MBA entrance exams is provided by Hit Bulls Eye, it is based out of North India. They use many innovative ways to make virtual sessions very interactive and engaging. Even they conduct weekly Mock Exams and give state level and national level ranking. All the exams solutions will be discussed by expert faculty. I used a free account and was able to access most of the modules. Post exams, they conduct online sessions on filling application forms, essay writing practice, mock interviews, one to one counselling sessions etc., The account will be valid only for 1 year. I am not sure if they are offering everything for free even now or not. Also, there are many other websites like HT Campus but I believe Hit Bulls Eye is the best one.
