Take A Look At → CAT 2021 Personalized Study Planner
Which was the most challenging section for you? How did you deal with it?
The most challenging section for me was VARC. So I started reading newspapers and blogs daily. It improved comprehension along with reading speed and vocabulary. I practised questions from the VARC section daily, even if I could solve only two RCs. I always aimed at minimizing the negative marking. I also kept reading blogs from InsideIIM.com, which tested strategies of IIM people who have already nailed at CAT. It helped me boost my score.

One piece of advice for future aspirants
My advice for aspirants is to put most of the effort into accuracy even if they attempt fewer questions. First, skim the entire Question set and pick the questions you are most comfortable with. Question selection is essential to save time. Time is the most crucial asset in the CAT exam.
