Last-Stretch Preparation Tips From The Notebook Of 99+ Percentilers

Brace yourselves, aspirants!!! CAT 2020 is coming. As there are three slots and 2 hours this time for CAT 2020, there are many speculations on the number of questions and difficulty of questions. IIM Indore conducted the exam in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, there were 140 minutes for 60 questions, and in 2014, there were 170 minutes for 100 questions. As in the guidelines, it is mentioned that there will be three sections, so you can most probably expect a reduction in the number of questions. Even if there is no reduction then also, it will not have much impact. Just try to solve the maximum questions you can and identify the easiest questions from the bulk.
