How To Prepare For CAT 2021 Ft. SPJIMR Mumbai Students Co'23

Here are a few insightful snippets from the CAT 2020 journey of SPJIMR students along with their words of advice for CAT 2021 aspirants. While CAT is a daunting exam for a lot of students in India, trying to cram at the last minute is not the way to go about it. Most of the times students forget the basics because of their stress. To make the most of the time, your focused attention should now be on revisiting and strengthening what you have learnt, taking Mocks, identifying and improving upon your errors, and further strengthening your strong areas instead of starting anything new. It is not only your good CAT exam preparation but also the CAT test-taking strategy that helps to improve your CAT percentile. Time management is an essential ingredient to crack the CAT exam and make it to your desired B-School. Managing one's time includes balancing speed with accuracy, handling the pressure and uncertainty, and apt decision making.
