How I Came Back Stronger In My 2nd Attempt On The CAT?, Ft. Prachi Gupta, CAT'21 99.6%iler

My first attempt at CAT was in 2020 for which I had prepared very diligently. With the overall %ile being 96.5, with 98+%ile in QA and 96+%ile in VARC, I could not make it because I could not clear the sectional cut-off in LRDI in which I had gotten a mere 60+%ile. I had made silly mistakes that cost me 9 marks in that section. The weight of those silly errors was so heavy that I could not perform as well, as I could have in XAT and let my chance of getting into a B-School straight after graduation go. It took me a solid 2-3 months to make peace with the situation, take all the learnings, and move forward. It was only in July that I again started preparing for CAT 2021.
