Hello,

Yes you can crack CAT exam without any coaching provided you completely focus on it, stay dedicated and work really hard.

Below I have provided some tips for preparing for CAT exams:

• The most important thing that has to be done first is to understand the exam pattern, the dates and the syllabus . This helps you to understand which topics you will have to spend more time on and plan your timetable accordingly

• Once you get to know about the syllabus and the dates, now you can set a timetable. You can decide how many days or hours you will be keeping for each subjects, revision and to practice previous year papers and mock tests. Manage time in a way that you spend enough time on difficult topics and also ensure that you have ample time for revision and practice.

• Another important thing to keep in mind is to find the correct books for you . Some books may be hard to follow, so try to get materials that are written in a student friendly language. Below I have given a link where you can find details about the best study materials

• While studying the subjects make sure you keep note of important points and equations in a separate book . This will come in handy at the time of revision.

• Once you are done studying the subjects start revising and doing previous year papers and mock question papers on a daily basis . This helps you to recollect the formulas, gives you an idea on where you have to improve and will also help you to manage time better. Make it a point to solve atleast one paper every day during the month you have kept apart for revision and practicing question papers.

Below I have shared a link where you can get sample question papers.:

• Another important thing is that don’t study anything new at the last minute and this can create confusions.

• NEVER TAKE YOUR HEALTH FOR GRANTED . Get proper sleep, eat healthy food and keep your self hydrated. Ensure that you do not stress your self too much and give enough time to relax and take breaks. Always remember that if you are stressed out then take a break as it would not bring out any good results when you put yourself in more stress.

• Finally, on the day of the exam relax and don’t get tensed. Keep your mind clear and give the exam.  You will surely be able to do well.

Also you should have good concentration if you want to study well. Below I will share some tips that will help you to concentrate better:

• Find a time which is best suitable for you to study. Some find it better to concentrate in the morning while others find they can do better in the night.

• Decide what portions you would like to finish in that particular day

• Prepare a timetable according to the above, keeping slots for breaks

• Start studying with your favorite subject, so that you don’t get bored from the beginning itself

• Take breaks when you get bored, and try to avoid studying at a stretch for a longer duration.

• Always keep some time apart for your hobbies, exercise, etc.

• Eat healthy food, sleep well and also socialise. A healthy mind is the most important for good concentration

• Do some mind games like Sudoku, Crossword puzzles, Chess, etc

• Also try meditation

Following these I am sure you will be able to improve your concentration

Good Luck
