- Preparation – July is already here! At this point of time, a significant lot must have already wrapped up their learning the concept phase (obviously, read this point, if you have come out of comprehending my take on point 1). Even if you are lagging behind, there is still time. You can still pick up. But make sure that you are done with learning the concepts and practising innumerable questions.
- Sectional Tests –These tests are something I will suggest giving until the final paper is here. You will get an enormous catalogue online and solve them is definitely a plus point. I will suggest solving at least one set of Quant every day. Speed matters here, but not more than accuracy. You need to have that correct blend. For, VARC and LRDI, a sectional test an alternative day will be good. But again, make sure the number of sectional tests you give increase when you approach September. Some might think that at this pace, the catalogue of questions will get over. A suggestion – solve the same sets again! Doing that for LRDI will definitely help. Remember that you need to have a knack for most of the questions you face in Quant. Experimenting with new techniques in the final paper is inappreciable. You are not a scientist!
- Mocks –At this point in time, I hope you all are giving at least one mock every week. If not, please do that. Mocks will give you an idea as to how to allocate time, and act. If you are not done with your syllabus yet, opt for sectional tests. After July ends, the frequency should increase to at least 2-3 mocks/week. There isn’t any escape.
- Interviews –For the mental peace of yourself, please forget as of now that there is anything called GD or PI after CAT. I mean why will you do that! People read answers on Quora as to how difficult the interviews are. They might be or might not. But, why you have to think about it right now! Things will fall in place. You will have ample time to prepare for the subsequent rounds. The maximum you can do is simultaneously build your general knowledge or opt for some courses if time permits.
So yeah, that is how I will suggest tackling the situations. Some of you might find it stupid! I too might have shared that feeling had I read the article two years back. But, my perspectives have changed now. If you are willing to for the MBA, make sure you take CAT seriously. Make the right moves so that you are not left behind. As I have mentioned in my previous articles, your hard work is a vector quantity! The direction is significant in addition to the magnitude.
It is always about choices, folks! Think and choose wisely! Good luck.
