A Counterintuitive Approach That Will Help You Crack The CAT

The advice that I have for all of you is, TAKE A BREAK! For a couple of days or so. But do take one. You have earned it. You have worked very hard to reach the level you are at right now. Just compare it to where you were when you started off. You have reached here through pure hard work. But the journey from here on is going to need something else from you. And for that, you need to refresh yourself. So trust me, defy your gut feeling just this once, and do what you have sacrificed upon in the last few months. Do what will really make you happy. Something that makes you forget about everything else. Indulge yourself in absolutely anything you want. It can be something as simple as a 2-day movie marathon to something as exotic as a 3 day Goa trip! It will sure as hell make you happy. I know this advice is very counterintuitive. But trust me it works. If it is of any help, after taking a 3-day break just 3 weeks before CAT, my scores rocketed from 140 to 194 and stayed at 160+ thereafter.

After you do this, do not take more than 2 tests a week. And do not spend too much time analysing the tests. Just enjoy those 3 hours without thinking about the result. Try to be at your best for just those 3 hours and let the results take care of themselves. Again, you have already done the hard work and you have explored every possible strategy under the sun. Now it is all about having fun when you take a test. If you do this, I promise you on the Big Day, you will be the one with no pressure at all. And take my word for it, you will actually enjoy the CAT!
