Managing Time Efficiently While Preparing For CAT 2020 | Aishwarya Nair, IIM B

With less than 60 days to go, preparations for CAT 2020 are on in full swing across the country. One of the essential things that stump many MBA aspirants is managing their time efficiently while preparing for CAT and other entrance exams. Not everyone takes a year off to prepare. Most CAT aspirants tend to their preparations alongside their final year of college or a hectic work-life. The time management issue has been further aggravated this year due to the pandemic and the lockdown. For college students, this means attending online classes, often for longer durations to compensate for the lost class hours. For working professionals working from home, the work might start cutting into any free time as the gap between work and personal life reduces. How can a person find enough time to devote to preparation amidst all the other vital things in life? How many hours of practice per day are considered sufficient to get a good score?
