Key Takeaways:
1. GMAT and CAT prep are similar, so you can prepare for both simultaneously.
2. Verbal in GMAT is quite different from CAT. It includes Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction, which isn't a part of the CAT.
3. GMAT allows you to select the order in which you want to attempt the sections. Use it to your advantage.
4. Time management is key to your preparation. Especially if you are juggling your course, internship/job and exam prep.
5. For your interviews, be honest about yourself. B schools aren't just looking at your acads, but also how well you fit in their campus.
6. Clarity of future goals is a highly desirable trait in a candidate. If you are clear, your interviews will go comparatively smoothly.
