One of the major questions MBA aspirants have is how to prepare for CAT. Many go to coaching institutions but are still not able to crack the exam with good percentile, while some people do manage to get into top IIMs in the very first attempt with self-study, like me ;)
This is going to be a long story having a mix of love, cries, hard work, and finally, luck. and with this, I hope to add some value to your CAT preparation and to your life.
30 days to go for CAT 2019. Life just got a whole lot tougher. Should I do only Mock CATs now that we have only 30 days? Should I leave some of the topics that I am weak in? My scores in two sections are good, but I am not scoring well in one section! My scores are very erratic; I am losing confidence with each passing day! What do I do? How can I improve at least 50 marks in the next 40 days? How do I prepare for GK for IIFT and other exams while CAT prep is still on? If these are some of the questions on your mind right now, we’ve got your back. ARKS Srinivas, an alumnus of IIM Calcutta, National MBA Head At Career Launcher, will be hosting a free webinar to help you with how you prepare for CAT in the next 40 days!
With just ~45 days to go for CAT 2020, it’s time to pull up your socks and focus. But wait, what to focus on? And how to make sure you’re doing all the right things so that you can crack CAT 2020 satisfactorily? The answer lies with CAT toppers and students from the previous years. Which is why we have Ankit Gupta, IIM Lucknow student, who scored 99.54 %ile in CAT 2018 here, who has gone in great details and explained how you can make the most with the time in hand!
What does it mean to you to know that there's one last month left to take an MBA entrance exam that is occupying a fair part of your mind space for quite a while now? I know that the countdown brought me anxiety and focus in equal measure. But let's face it, we all prepare for CAT quite differently, some of us started later and some of us just want to get a feel of the exam so we seriously re-attempt CAT the following year. My point is, don't let the ticking clock lessen your motivation to finish what you started well. To be very honest, when I was preparing for CAT 16, I used to avoid reading stories about the number of days left to write CAT because those articles used to be by people who had reached heights I didn't dream of or the fact that they set the bar high in terms of the things to do (I was a BBA student back then). So I did what felt right to me to stay motivated to see this to its end and I've listed some of these down.
The first step towards FMS was cracking the dreaded CAT examination. Here's my journey of scoring 99.47 percentile (OA)
