- This is the best time to take mocks. Take at least 6-8 mocks in these few days left. Just giving the mocks is not the only objective; analysis of the mocks is very important. Analysis should make more than 50% of your CAT preparation. I had interaction with many 99+ percentilers, and the common thing they all did was the analysis of mocks. You may not get the same question, but the type of question generally remains the same. This will help you in solving the question on the d-day.
- Try to take mocks on the slot allotted to you. It will help you overcome any kind of pressure on d-day.
- For best results, practice all the past five year CAT questions. This will cover almost all the concepts of both Quant and Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation.
- If any of you are still facing issues in Reading Comprehension, then try to increase accuracy instead of attempting all the questions.
- If solving any question in off-line mode, then make use of a timer. Time your questions, and make sure you are not giving more than 1.5 minutes on any question.
- Don’t take too much pressure. It happens most of the time that people who are performing well in mocks may not get good marks in CAT because they take too much pressure, which they aren’t able to handle on the d-day.
- I will advise aspirants to take mocks in masks; this helps create the environment for the d-day. These are very small things which create a lot of problems if not done before.
- This is the time to follow a fixed strategy that you will be replicating on the d-day for maximum score. Also, keep an alternate strategy if you feel that the first one is not working.
- Follow easy questions first approach.
- Relax a day before CAT and watch any motivating or comedy movie which can help you relax your mind.
- Also, don’t go by the assumption that the CAT 2020 Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation section will be tough because in CAT 2013 and 2014 it was, as it is difficult to predict such kind of trends.
- Just like cricketers do warmup / exercise before the game. You can follow the same on the d-day, read any article in the newspaper which interests you. This will help you exercise mentally.
- Reach the center allotted to you at least 10 minutes before the reporting time.
- Lastly, you will have plenty of time to read the instructions. So read all the instructions carefully, as there may be changes in the number of questions or marking for each question.
These suggestions helped many and I believe these will also definitely help you.
All the best.
