Meet Divyansh Gupta, who scored 100%ile in CAT 2019. Not just that, he scored 100%ile in VARC too, and 99.9+%ile in DILR & QUANT both. Wondering what he did to score so high? Watch this video and find out!  
  Divyansh Gupta was in IIT Delhi, and had completed his CFA level 1, when he realised that he had an inclination for finance. He even took up electives like Financial Modelling from IIT DMS to prepare for a role in finance. In his first CAT attempt, he scored a 99.99%ile, but he wasn’t sure if he was ready for an MBA, and so he did not go for any interviews. Finally, in 2019, he decided to take CAT a second time, scoring a coveted 100%ile. In this video, he explains his strategy for each section, how he managed his mocks and analysis, and more. If you’re preparing for CAT 2020, this video is a must watch for you!

Key Takeaways:
1) CAT tests your presence of mind more than it tests your knowledge.
2) You don’t need to read academic articles to prepare for VARC, reading novels can help you too.
3) When reading, try not to trace with your finger or mouth the words, if you want to improve your speed.
4) Quants is all about practice. The more mocks you give, the better you will get at solving this section.
5) When giving mocks, try to replicate the conditions of the actual exam. This will mentally prepare you for CAT day.
6) For VARC, find that one question, which can give you a gist of the entire passage.
7) Focus more on a score goal rather than a percentile goal and prepare accordingly.
8) Don't spend too much time on mock analysis either. There should be a balance between analysis and practice.
