17 days to CAT
Your heart must be beating, and dreams would have turned into nightmares, that what if I am not able to solve that DI LR set or what if RC part comes out scary. Let me tell you one truth, all your what-ifs can wait, but persistence and consistency can’t, and this is the time when this is needed the most!
Face Your Fears
This is the right time to face your fears. Solve mocks daily and not just one but two but you know what is the most important part, not quantity but quality. Taking mocks won’t take you miles, evaluating them will.
Read this sentence twice till it sinks in, “Never attempt another mock without analysing the first mock you gave”. Making mistakes is okay, but not learning from them and repeating them is not.
Work On Your Weakest Parts and Strengthen Your Strongest Ones
You must have heard this many times now but let me tell you how to implement it. By now, you see, for one particular section, your percentile is consistently low, analyse it’s weightage in Cat if it is high enough to ruin you, work on it, otherwise leave it outrightly. While working on it, go to the depths of it not just width of it. Give bare minimum 8-9 hours on it and then attempt as many sectionals related to that topic as you can but if you still feel, it is not working out, leave it then and there and never ever look at it again because you covered the basics but are not strong at it. So, in a case in CAT, the question from that section comes before you, you will leave it in 1st round, revisit it in 2nd round, and if you feel it is easy, you will attempt it otherwise, you won’t waste much time on it.
Frame Strategies
Frame your own strategies. One thing which worked for one person might not work for anyone else. At the same time, be adaptable. CAT cannot be totally opposite to what you have thought. Always prepare for the worst. Only them, you will come out strong.
Key To Success
In the end, the key to success is staying calm and make conscientious decisions. I have seen people ruining their exam because of panic attacks, so, in any such situation, take a deep breath, believe in yourself and your hard work and stay calm and no force can stop you from nailing it.
