Aspirants who started preparation early for CAT 2020 are rolling up their sleeves and bracing themselves up for <a href=\"https:\/\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/cat-2020\/cat-2020-slot-timings-update-from-iimcat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the new timings<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/cat-preparation-strategy\/cat-2020-pattern-change-how-to-prepare-for-the-new-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other updates<\/a>. Some of them are intimidated by the sudden changes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/profile\/Rajesh-Balasubramanian-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Rajesh<\/a> has something to tell y&#8217;all, in the video below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CAT 2020 Pattern Change &amp; Deadline Extension | First Take from Rajesh B | 4-time CAT 100%iler | 2IIM\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xeExclAcaSA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">On the other hand, this announcements seem to have had very less to no bearing on those who are starting\/have started their CAT 2021 preparation. Tell you what, if you have already registered, it is worth giving a shot at CAT 2020. CAT 2020 is going to be interesting, as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Having said that&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CAT 2021 Preparation &#8211; why start today?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Have you heard people talk about &#8220;long haul&#8221;, &#8220;routine&#8221;, &#8220;habit&#8221;, et al.? These words might have sounded superficial, but they are not. It would be of interest to learn why CAT 2021 preparation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rFTyruuwXjs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">needs to be started today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Long-Haul-3.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cat 2021 preparation\" class=\"wp-image-7612\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">CAT has started testing things that go hand-in-hand with the idea of what you might call as a <strong>habit<\/strong>. It takes a long while to get conditioned to not jump into a formula the moment you see a question. Reading from a wide variety of sources helps immensely in the VARC section of CAT, which is about one-third of the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 13-month preparation cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There are a bunch of things you can take value from. Starting today for an examination that is 13 to 14 months away is a great beginning. The first step is always going to be crucial; if you have taken the plunge, or are about to venture into this territory, dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starting from scratch: The CAT 2021 preparation grind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">If you have given a cursory glance at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/2iimcat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a>, chances are you might have heard Rajesh mention the following phrase &#8211; &#8220;learning from first principles&#8221;. This holds particularly good if you are starting now for CAT 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CAT-2021-Article-1-1.jpg?resize=800%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"understanding\" class=\"wp-image-7602\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Starting your CAT 2021 preparation today could be a great idea for more reasons than one.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You have enough and more time to learn the concepts in depth, practice gazillions of questions, revise, rinse and repeat. Note that most, if not all, CAT aspirants do not get this luxury of preparing for a full 12-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No frenzy. Just preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There are people who can crack CAT with two or three months preparation. It is possible. But there are also the others &#8211; the bunch that forms the majority of us &#8211; who might need more time. These are people for whom the concepts need to be revisited constantly; they are those who wish to take CAT preparation gradually as just yet another aspect in lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Relax-2.gif?h=360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"deep breath\" class=\"wp-image-7608\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">We are often given to getting overawed by the rags-to-riches stories (cue clickbait-y title and a catchy YouTube thumbnail that reads, &#8220;I was zero at Math. I cracked CAT in 22\/7 days&#8221; :P) that we miss track of reality. Outliers need not and do not constitute the majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You can start today, setting your eyes on CAT 2021. You would be surprised at the kind of leisurely prep regime you have, as you get geared up. There is so much joy in taking things one at a time, absorbing the beauty of Math serenely, and moving ahead incrementally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CAT-2021-Article-2-1.jpg?resize=800%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cat 2021 preparation\" class=\"wp-image-7604\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Beginning your CAT 2021 preparation right away helps you &#8216;sharpen your ax&#8217;.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning for CAT <em>your<\/em> way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When there is limited time at your disposal, and the arsenal of portions to be covered are huge, you will seek the guidance and gyan of every Tom, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hqACIN7Yzos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rajesh<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vUtvrXr4hL0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bharath<\/a>.
