1. Prepare and follow the timetable
Assuring a committed and regular study schedule is necessary for applicants hoping to score in the 99+ percentile on the CAT exam in 2023. They have to create and adhere to a strict schedule that allows the same amount of time to prepare for every CAT segment.
2. Keep practising CAT previous-year papers
Completing the CAT question papers from previous years is essential for attaining a high percentile since it gives the candidate a sense of the questions' nature and degree of difficulty. Therefore, it is recommended to compile a list of at least the last five years' worth of CAT question papers and solve them entirely.
3. Seat on CAT mock tests
Daily CAT mock exam practice gives the candidates a sense of how they are doing and how prepared they are. It is typically advisable to set a timer before beginning a CAT mock exam because this makes it easier to track how long it takes to complete each of the three sections. Accuracy and speed are key components of passing the CAT exam. To receive a 99+ percentile on the real examination, candidates should make sure they are finishing the mock test in the allotted time. It is equally crucial to analyze the CAT exam 2023 sample test to determine which sections require development and where they fall short.
4. Watch out time
The CAT exam has a maximum time limit of two hours, or twenty minutes, to complete each of the three sections: quantitative aptitude, data interpretation and logical reasoning, verbal ability and reading comprehension. Candidates find it challenging to spend only 40 minutes on each section; to overcome this, they should learn time management techniques. These abilities can be cultivated by completing practice exams while keeping track of the amount of time spent on each one by setting a timer.
5. Keep revising the syllabus
CAT exam revision should be a part of an MBA candidate's schedule. Instead of focusing on learning new subjects this month, they ought to concentrate on honing their strong points and improving their weaknesses. Keeping useful notes will enable them to rapidly review the CAT syllabus.
