Preparation:

This was my second attempt at CAT. I used the material provided to me by the coaching class. I focused on making strategies for the exam and analysed all my test papers. Managing time between work and CAT preparation was a difficult job. The strategy for the test is not fixed, it depends on the paper. Seeing the paper you can decide on which strategy to use. So for me realize which strategy to be used during the paper, mock CAT helped me. I had solved a lot of mock papers and analysed each paper thoroughly.

Advice to juniors:

• Make as many strategies as you can
• Analyse each paper
• Give as many Mock CATs as you can
• Be thorough with the basics of quant and DI
• Read editorials for improving verbal
