MAT is bit easier to CMAT, but requires ample of practice and accuracy to gain good percentile.
Most important is practice which brings accuracy. Although, You wont get accuracy by leaving questions, try to solve all problems initially and where you go wrong solve such questions more to make your weaknesses redundant, once you do that your confidence will boost miles away. Secondly, give maximum mock tests and make sure you dont repeat same mistakes again. once you're done with that you can then choose and select certain questions in final CAT exam to score great percentile wiyhin less amount of time for maximum accuracy. All the best for future endeavors.
