64 To 84 To 98.5 Percentile I 3 Attempts To Bell The CAT, Ft. Dipshika Damani

“When you feel like quitting, think about why you started.” This is the quote that helped me throughout my CAT journey. During my 3rd year of engineering, I decided to pursue an MBA but under one condition: it should only be from the top 10 B-Schools of India. As I started my journey, it started getting tougher and tougher by the day. Though I attended coaching, I didn’t really understand things. My friends were getting good scores in mocks, whereas I kept struggling with Verbal which always used to be my strength. I started reading lots of answers on Quora about the strategy to be followed for acing the exam and other success stories to keep myself motivated. I would think and tell myself, “If he/she can do this, then why can’t I?” But I reached a time when Quora got so overwhelming that I ended up deleting the app. I lost my confidence and just a day before CAT, I started suffering from high fever. The D-Day was a disaster. I was on high-power medication so it affected my performance. I could barely read passages and somehow managed the other sections. My friends did great. I scored a mere 64.76 percentile. Nobody except my parents knew about my real score and I decided to take another attempt. Meanwhile, I also got placed in one of the top IT companies of India.
