How To Crack The CAT Decoded

How To Crack The CAT Decoded

With less than two months to go, the aspirants of CAT 2019 are at the most stressful times of their preparation. Anxiety and anticipation often bring their morale down. "Am I going in the right direction? Are these the right study materials? What if the questions are different from what I have solved? I keep forgetting the formulae of quants. DI and LR are complicated to solve, even while solving at home. How am I going to score in this subject, especially when the questions of DI&LR are so unpredictable? How many questions to solve in DI&LR to fare well in the exam? Why do I do so much negative in VA&RC? Para-jumbles are confusing; I am often split between options. Are the most obvious answers usually wrong in VA&RC? Do I go with my gut feeling? Is that why I get so many questions wrong? I can't read fast enough to solve RC problems." - The questions are endless, and most students make the mistake of trying to solve a question before understanding why the examiner chose to ask that question. In a series of articles, I will try to answer each of these questions, drawing from my personal experience.
