Hello Team, I want to know about CAT. What are the strategies to Crack CAT. I am unemployed and I don't know what to do I need personal counseling.
Here are some strategies to help you prepare effectively for the CAT:
1. Understand the CAT Exam Pattern
- Sections: The CAT typically has three sections:
-Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC)
- Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR)
- Quantitative Ability (QA)
- Duration: The exam is usually 2 hours in duration, with 40 minutes allotted to each section.
- Scoring: In CAT, you get +3 for correct answer but -1 for incorrect answer.
2. Create a Study Plan
Assess Your Strengths and Weaknesses: Take a mock test to identify areas where you need improvement.
- Set a Schedule: Allocate specific hours each day for study and stick to this schedule.
- Balanced Preparation: Divide your time equally between the three sections. People make the mistake of devoting more time to the section they think they are good at.
3. Study Material and Resources
Books: Use standard CAT preparation books like "How to Prepare for Quantitative Aptitude" by Arun Sharma, "Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension" by Rajesh Balasubramanian, and others.
- Previous Years’ Papers: Practice previous years’ CAT papers to understand the exam pattern
Hope this helps
