In May 2020, ARKS Srinivas - the ultimate CAT coach and mentor - conducted 4 tremendously insightful sessions with CAT 2020 aspirants, as a part of the CAT 2020 Masterclass series. Here's what the attendees had to say after the sessions:
"My favourite session was when ARKS sir made everyone believe that 'Quant is silly'. I hope with time I can internalize that better. The key takeaway from these sessions was about the mindset that one should have for CAT 2020, and why we should not fear failure."
"I've been preparing for CAT on my own and wanted someone to mentor me and guide me with strategies on how to crack each section of CAT. My favorite session to be frank was the first session which was on mocks as it was much candid than other session, and the whole Masterclass series gave me a path-way to crack CAT 2020!"
"These sessions with ARKS have helped me kick start my preparation for CAT 2020. Most importantly, they have given me the right direction and approach to achieve the dream of 99th and above percentile!"
"These sessions have helped me to understand the crux of CAT, how to prepare for it and how to strategize. It has been really helpful! I am looking forward for more such sessions!"

CAT 2020 Masterclass Prime - Frequently Asked Questions
Are the QA sessions in the 'Become A Quant Wizard' package different from the QA sessions in 'The Complete CAT 2020' package?
No - these sessions will be identical. The 'Become A Quant Wizard' package is a subset of 'The Complete CAT 2020' package. In other words, if you purchase 'The Complete CAT 2020' package, you get access to all sessions in the 'Become A Quant Wizard' package as well. The opposite is, of course, not true.
In the QA sessions that will be conducted in July, will actual concepts be taught?
The QA sessions in July on Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry + Modern Maths and Numbers will not involve any conceptual explanation. These sessions are intended to provide you with the right way to approach these topics and master them. Due to paucity of time, no concepts will be taught in these sessions.
Where will the sessions of the Masterclass Prime series be conducted?
All sessions will be conducted live on Zoom. You will be able to ask ARKS questions on the live chat as well!
When will the first session be available to me?
The first session with ARKS will go live at 7:00 PM on 26th June, which is a Friday. Specific dates for further sessions will be informed to those who purchase a program.
What if I miss some sessions? Will I get recordings, and can I download sessions?
If you miss a session, you needn't worry! We will make sure you receive a recording of the session(s) so you don't miss out on any insights from ARKS. These recordings will be available for a limited period, and will not be downloadable.
