Needless to say, practice makes perfect. For the remaining time, practice as much as you can. CAT is not an exam of formulas, but of understanding and practice. It will not ask tough questions but tricky ones. The understanding of the basics will help you more than cramming up the integration of different functions.
On the day of the exam, have a different strategy for the different sections. The same approach to all 3 sections will not be a smart thing to do. In the paragraphs of the vocabulary section, your general knowledge is your biggest enemy. Paragraphs are not the place to show it off. It’s not a test of who knows the most about Global Warming or Philosophy, but how much one can understand other points of view. The paragraph provided is written by someone else, it bears their perspective, their line of thinking and their conclusions. So, if the paragraph says that one should be open to lying for the good of others, then that is the answer to be marked when the conclusion of the paragraph is asked.
Some questions in the quantitative section are more of a treasure chest, situated across a river of raging waters. One will eventually cross it, but the time spent in the process is generally fatal. No question is worth 5 minutes in a section.
Most importantly of all, RELAX! During the exam, I took one-minute breaks to calm myself down and focus back. I thought of the food menu for the night. Just a bit too loudly though, people find it strange when you suddenly say Burger!
All the Best!
