Employing Impromptu CAT Strategy

So, the question is how to tackle such inevitable mysterious surprises on the Big Day?

The answer to the question is – by strategising the pre-prepared strategy on the spot. As soon as your eyes meet the question paper, go through it quickly, gauge the test content and structure, and decide on how you’re going to attempt it. Even if your strategy doesn’t align with the type of question paper, take a deep breath, think for five seconds and tailor the strategy impromptu – what I would term it as Strategy Customization (SC). Realign your plan with the test structure and execute the plan. But the noteworthy point here is that this SC should take place within 30 seconds or one-minute tops, post going through the entire paper or in this case, entire section.

This technique of SC will not only ensure apposite time utilisation but will also help you in attempting the section (moreover, the complete exam) in a sequential and an effective manner. Plus, it’ll safeguard your exam from the fiasco.

Side note - This technique can be applied in all other MBA exam or any exam.
