Many students prepare for CAT by self and are less dependant on coaching but if you have decided to take this step make sure you take this seriously.

You have to start with making a systematic study plan and follow it with sincerity.

CAT does not need to mug up things instead you should have a good aptitude which requires proper strategy and knowledge of what all will come in the exam.

Now that less time is left, by now you should have clearly identified your strong areas and weak areas. Once you identify the same, you should build on your strength now and pick a few weak areas which you can work afresh from a concept level (if you have enough time then only go to the concept level)

Since you are studying from home you can prefer joining any online program which can help you to revise your formulas and syllabus.

The very important thing is test series/mock tests. You should be practising online-offline mocks, sectional-full length mocks by now.

This is not enough. Once you give the test, analyse it. Without analysing you won't get what you are falling short of.

Some of the books for CAT preparation you can refer are:

-Books by TMH – Arun Sharma

-Pearson Guide to Quantitative Aptitude for CAT by Nishit Sinha

-Quantum CAT by Sarvesh Verma

-For Verbal Ability –VA / RC book by Arihant

-Pearson Guide to Quantitative Aptitude and Data Intrepretation for CAT by Nishit Sinha

For Online mocks you can refer to:

- Career Launcher

-Test Funda

- IMS

Good Luck with the exam!
