The Journey from 75%ile to 99%ile: A Reflection | Vishesh Garg

This write-up is more than just a letter; it's a story of my journey and the lessons learned on the way to improving my CAT percentile. From T-1 year, T-1 month, T-1 week, T-1 day, to the T-0th day, I corrected my mistakes and gradually transformed my approach. During CAT '22, I was somewhat directionless, chasing the elusive 99.99%ile and striving for 100% accuracy. Little did I realize, CAT is not about perfection but rather a Pareto principle game — where 20% effort can yield 80% of the results. Here’s how some last-minute tips helped me crack CAT 2023:

You've Prepared For This Moment - You've Got This! | Last-Mile To CAT | Milan Madaan, SPJIMR ' 26

"Dost ab aagye hai hum akhri padaw parr......." Just a couple of days left for CAT 2024. You’re likely feeling excitement, terror, and a sudden urge to binge-watch that series you’ve been putting off for months, which is normal (I binged Mirzapur S1 days before CAT 2023). As a non-engineer who bagged a 98.45 percentile in CAT 2023, I’ve been through the last-minute jitters, those last-lap mini panic attacks, and one irrational thought: What if I forget how to read English during VARC? Trust me; you’ll be fine (even if you don't feel it right now, eventually, you will realize the same). The key lies in smart planning and keeping your cool. Let’s dive into a recap of some lessons I would've wanted to be told during my last days of CAT 2023, which might help you crush CAT like the legend you are.

Keep Negativity At Bay Before CAT 2024 - Manisha Agrawal

The only thing I would recommend for last few days before CAT would be being positive & confident and not studying overboard, just few revisions and you are done. Going through notes,formula books and few previously solved mocks is what all needed. Adjusting body schedule according to exam day is helpful but not mandatory. Something which people might not tell you but in my opinion it is most important, that is not having too much involvement with fellow CAT aspirants and social media to keep negativity at bay.
