It requires hard work, smart work, some amount of luck and sound temperament. We will break it down into the components listed further down and see why each part is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hard work:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">It goes without saying that there are a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"lot of topics to prepare for CAT (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/2iim.com\/howtoprepare\/catschedule.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">lot of topics to prepare for CAT<\/a>, and lot of ideas to revise &amp; revisit. For instance, there are a bunch of types of DILR Puzzles such as Seating Arrangement, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sequencing (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iim-cat-questions-answers.2iim.com\/LR_sequences\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequencing<\/a>, Blood relations, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Grid puzzles (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iim-cat-questions-answers.2iim.com\/LR_grid\/\" target=\"_blank\">Grid puzzles<\/a>, Table based, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chart based (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iim-cat-questions-answers.2iim.com\/DI_Pie_Charts\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chart based<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Graph based (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iim-cat-questions-answers.2iim.com\/DI_bar_graphs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Graph based<\/a> etc. Though the <a href=\"https:\/\/online.2iim.com\/CAT-question-paper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"recent editions of CAT (opens in a new tab)\">recent editions of CAT<\/a> have not tested them directly, knowing how to approach these ideas sets the base for a good DILR preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Likewise, Quantitative Aptitude section has 30+ topics, broadly classified into 4 headings as Number Systems, Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. The number of ideas to learn, remember, understand and practice is a lot, hence the absolute necessity of <em>Hard work<\/em> in CAT prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The Verbal ability section is no less\neasy than the other two. It requires at least a few hundred-hours\u2019 worth of\nreading for a strong foundation for the CAT VARC Preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart work:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">There is a fine line that distinguishes <em>smart work <\/em>and hard work, especially in context of CAT. Learning Remainders, adding Chinese remainder theorem and pigeonhole principle in your arsenal is a great thing to do. If you follow it up with 100 fantastic (read insanely tough) practice questions on remainders &#8211; that is an excellent example of hard work. But is it smart? It is patently not. Why is that so? Because in the last several years, there have been close to zero questions on remainders tested in CAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Another example to drive home the\nidea of smart work &#8211; learning 18 different formulae to solve speed time distance,\nrepresents hard work while, knowing that S=d\/t is enough to solve any speed\ntime distance question is smart work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Same goes for memorising words\nthrough flash cards, knowing grammar rules by-heart etc. Intuitively figuring\nout meaning of words in that context is smarter than going back to the\ndictionary every time you are faced with a new word. CAT has moved away to a\nlarge extent from things that can be fixed only with hard work (this does not\nmean hard work is not necessary, but hard work is essential, but just not\nenough, and requires one to do smart work as well).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Luck:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is <em>Luck<\/em> important in CAT prep?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does that mean, all the preparation\nyou do is not going to help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">You got to see it the other way\nround. Your CAT preparation occupies 50% of the pie, which contains all the\nfactors that are important for \u201cGreat CAT Results\u201d. If you do not have it in\nplace, your base is shaky and will most likely lead to abysmal performance in\nthe CAT Exam. But, if it is in place, does that guarantee a fantastic CAT\nscore? Maybe, maybe not. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Factors such as your mental state, whether you are unwell, did your Car breakdown on the way, did the invigilator behave rudely with you and umpteen other external factors matter on the D day. I am not saying that <em>luck<\/em> is very vital, and if you are lucky you can nail this exam. If anything I am saying the opposite, prepare well, have your wits with you. This is an exam of temperament. Luck helps you keep your composure, if you are naturally not gifted on that front, or have not gone through enough experiences to be there already. Hope and pray (if you believe in that) that your day should be a good day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"#sound-temperament\">Sound Temperament:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is having a <em>sound temperament<\/em> important in this context?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to hang in there, in\nmultiple occasions to get to a great place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">It could be when you have crossed the\n15<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;minute into a DILR puzzle, and you know the answer will\ntake another good 5 minutes, and you do not want to let stress get the better\nof you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">You could get a few bad mock scores time and again. It takes lot of mental strength and grit to hang in there and keep pushing more mocks into the system without worrying about the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Having it in you to keep pushing and\nfocusing on input metrics compared to output metrics is a brilliant thing, and you\nneed lots of discipline and grit to keep at it continually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">These are the most important factors\nthat can make or break your CAT exam. The line that distinguishes hard work and\nsmart work is too close to be distinguishable. Make sure you realize which side\nof the rope are you in. Also remember, there are many who got into brilliant b\nschools in their 4<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;attempt, 5<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;attempt at\nthis hit or miss exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best Wishes for CAT Prep!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With hard work and dedication, anything is possible &#8211; Timothy Weah Preparing for CAT exam is like performing tapas (penance).
