For LR-DI, solving the caselets from the past year’s papers is enough. Target to crack the logic and methodology for caselets in the first 5 mins and then target to complete the remaining questions. Leave out the tricky questions in a passage and attempt the simple questions. Attempting all the questions in a caselet is not advisable as this will invite negative marking. Heavy LR-DI caselets have been a pattern since the last two CAT exams, hence be prepared with extremely difficult questions and target to solve at least 2-3 caselets correctly. Take two test series (TIME, IMS, Byjus, CL, etc.) and give at least 25-30 mocks before “The Day”. Critically analyze your mistakes and create an error log wherein you jot down all the areas where you tend to go wrong. Read this thoroughly before the exam.
Some important tips before appearing for the exam:
Do not consider this as a do or die game. Doing so will get you unnecessarily tensed about it and you will get under pressure easily.
Be updated with the pattern changes and give a few mocks with the updated pattern. These changes are typically announced at a later date and missing out on them can put you at a disadvantage as opposed to others.
Stay calm and maintain good mental as well as physical health in the last week. Put yourself away from anything that creates pressure and distracts you from performing to your fullest potential in the last few days. ALL THE BEST GUYS. Hope you reach that coveted 99 percentile mark. Cheers!
