Looking at the strenuous preparation schedule advocated by the toppers in their post-selection tales of their CAT journey, many aspirants mistake CAT to be a deep-dyed test of aptitude.

It might be difficult to understand how but CAT tests you as a person, it analyses such traits in your personality that will make you a good leader.

From Scoring Less Than 70%ile To Making It To SPJIMR Mumbai In My Third Attempt - Ft. Gokul V Sunil

From Scoring Less Than 70%ile To Making It To SPJIMR Mumbai In My Third Attempt - Ft. Gokul V Sunil

Unlike many students in college, I was clear with my goals and what I wanted to do with my career. But even then, how to achieve that particular dream was kind of ambiguous since there were multiple options in front of me - either going abroad or staying in India. The only thing that I had figured out towards the end of my four-year bachelor’s degree was to pursue my career in the management sector rather than in the engineering sector. When I gave my first CAT exam, I hardly knew anything about it, ranging from the duration of the exam to the actual pattern of the exam. I never intended to pursue my post-graduation immediately. I was held up with a lot of work at my college, both academics, and extra-curricular. So, it was like a mock test for me, and once the results got out, there was no element of surprise. I scored significantly less in the range of 70% tile, but the overall exam pattern, especially DILR and Quants, was very much comfortable for me, and I was confident that I could do better if I try again.

How I Scored 99.64 Percentile In CAT - Shivam Goel

With the dream of securing admission to one of the prestigious IIMs of the nation, I started my journey of CAT. As a non-engineer, I heard the prowess of engineers in the Quant and LRDI section of the exam and how difficult it is for a non-engineering guy to secure the 99+ percentile in the exam. I decided not to let these thoughts boggle my mind and started my journey of CAT. I started preparing in June of 2019. I had six months to prepare. I believe six months is a good enough time for preparation for the CAT exam. I started with understanding the pattern of the exam to plan the journey accordingly.

From 56 Percentile To 97 Percentile In VARC | Overcoming A Dreadful Horror Of An Engineer!

VARC has been a trouble maker for most of the engineers out there. I was not any exception. In my previous attempt of CAT 2019, I scored a meagre 56 percentile partly owing to my lack of preparation and partly due to the panic attack that took a toll on me on the D-day. So, I geared up myself for CAT 2020 knowing my weakest area was VARC and major work needs to be done there only.
