Q: What was your overall preparation strategy for CAT?

So, there are two parts to CAT preparation, practice and mocks. I believe both are equally important, especially, if you’re preparing for the first time. I enrolled for the classroom program at IMS during the second year of my college, but my serious preparation started only in March 2019. I began by practicing IMS modules, which helped me in revising the basics.I started giving mocks in May, even though I was not done with a lot of portion. I used to give practice all the three sections consistently. I never skipped a particular section, say VARC, because I had to focus on Quants. Learning to strike a balance between three sections is really necessary.
