The Final Tips..

CAT is as much about strategy as it is about thorough preparation. As exam date is approaching, candidates’ should start thinking about strategy. A strategy should always be flexible enough. There is no point being rigid about your strategy. One should start analyzing oneself critically. Analysis should involve, assessing your areas of strengths, subjects and questions where you always manage to perform well in mock tests. Similarly, your weak subjects should be very clear to you. It also pays to formulate different strategies for different mock tests and check which one works out better. One should be very clear about the order of questions he or she would be attempting on the D-day. Don’t press yourself hard for your weak subjects. In fact, stop worrying about them. Just give a glance to those questions set but don’t indulge in over-scrutinizing yourself. One does not really need to start afresh in one’s weak subjects at this stage of time.

Remember to choose questions wisely and judiciously. Success mantra says, candidate should pick right questions to answer. CAT tests your smart choices and not your in-depth knowledge. One should also take a full length test only once a week and analyze the answers and results thoroughly.

Finally, stay calm and relaxed. Just don’t be bookworms. Have adequate sleep, little time for movies and sports as well. Spend time with your loved ones. You should keep doing whatever you like. This has a calming effect on stressed minds. Don’t think too much about the exam and feel positive energy inside. Last but not the least, this is just an exam. World does not begins and ends with this. There are more exams to come.
