What should be your preparation plan and strategy from now on?

The essence of your preparation now can be captured by a five letter word – MOCKS. Take loads of mocks. With 30 days to go, you should be looking at taking anywhere between 10 and 15 mocks before the D – day.

We understand that, taking mocks and ending up getting slapped almost every single time is not easy. Which is why CAT is not just a test of your intelligence but that of endurance and perseverance as well.

There are bunch of articles that have been tailored specifically for mocks. That covers a broad spectrum of idea taking mocks, and analyzing them

2. How to manage 2 hours mocks

CAT 2021 admit card, time slots, and mocks

The admit card gives you the slot time during which you will be taking the examination, and your examination center and city. Start taking mocks at the exact same time slot as mentioned in your admit card.

You could be a person with sleeping-late-at-night-waking-up-late-in-the-morning routine and you could be allotted the 9 am slot. Taking mocks at that specific time helps you in conditioning and ensures you plan your day and sleep cycle, accordingly.

A final note!

• Train yourself – by enough and more practice – to sit through the two hours of a mock. Get yourself ready for the time slot you have been allotted.
• Do not go on a mock spree without analyzing your earlier mocks. There is NO hard-and-fast rule that states, “If you take a mock every other day, then you are destined for a 99+ percentile.”
• This is the time to consolidate topics. Do not try to load yourself with new topics now. Instead, focus on how best you can maximize your mock score with the areas of strengths.
