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. With only 3 weeks to CAT, preparation time is almost over and you should now be making strategies for the exam day. 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.
