Here are some hygiene factors that one can develop which will help aspirants to crack the CAT 2024 DILR section with a 99%ile+ in their first attempt.
Strong Bottom-line: Building a strong foundation in the basics of mathematics and logical reasoning is essential. One must revisit fundamental mathematical concepts like arithmetic, algebra, and geometry and develop a deep understanding of logical reasoning concepts like sequencing, coding-decoding, and syllogisms for starters.
Time Management: One of the most challenging parts of the CAT exam is managing time. The exam is divided into three sections, and each section has a time limit. In every section, each question must be solved within a specific time range, which the candidate needs to keep in mind to ace the section. Especially for the DILR, time is of the essence. To improve your time management skills, time yourself while practicing mocks and make sure to complete the question within the allotted time frame.
Find your Forte: The candidate should be aware of what they know and what they don’t know. 90% of people are unaware of their strengths and weaknesses while taking the exam, which leads to poor scores. Finding your forte involves identifying the areas in which you excel and using them to your advantage at D-Day. The 5-Step process you should follow to check where you stand:-
- Complete the syllabus (At least once)
- Take Sectional and Full-length Mock Tests
- Analyze your Performance in Detail
- Focus on your Strengths, work on your weakness
- Practice Regularly

Perfection Takes Time: One should solve as many DILR questions as possible to improve their speed and accuracy. Attempting previous year's question papers and mock tests can help to get a feel of the actual exam and identify areas that need improvement. This process takes time, and therefore one should not leave their preparation in the middle, just stay focused and glued to the end.
Focus on Breathe: The exam is just a means to achieve your higher goals in life. One should remember, it’s not the end and therefore being calm and confident is an integral part of cracking the exam. Taking calm breaths can help reduce stress and anxiety during the exam. One should not panic if one comes across a difficult set. Take a deep breath, read the question carefully, and use the strategy to solve it.
In conclusion, cracking the CAT 2024 DILR section with a 99 %ile in the first attempt requires a combination of hard work, dedication, and smart preparation. The journey is tough, but it’s not impossible. One should follow the structured approach yet be open to adapting to the changes in real-time and be dynamic to ace the exam.
