CAT Preparation Strategies for Last Months

The D-Day is coming soon what with CAT is just about 2 months away. All the serious CAT aspirants must have started preparation with full sincerity and dedication. The exam will go on for a month and quite a number of candidates must be feeling anxious regarding completion of their preparations. It is the time when you should revise all that you have prepared. You also need to be selective from here on. Let’s have a look at what you can focus on during these last two months.

Many students face difficulty in RC section. So instead of bothering about that, start reading more for a period of say, 30 minutes to one hour daily. Read diverse subjects and cover as much ground as possible. Do keep a tab on your reading speed. Focus on learning new phrases, idioms and words each day. Revise them regularly and try to use them in a sentence so that they will last longer in your memory.

For DI, practice 3-5 sets daily. Allot one hour for logical reasoning questions. Don’t allow your mind to divert. You must attempt 25-40 questions daily covering algebra, arithmetic, geometry, mensuration, speed-time-distance questions, etc. It is always better to cover all the subjects regularly. Make a fixed routine and don’t deviate from it. Question sets of last year’s can give you great idea about the pattern of the papers. Try solving all those problems in a real exam environment using watch. There is no better preparation than mock tests/ practice tests. Do it on both paper as well as computer based tests. Finally, for a while take time out to relax and rejuvenate.
