Before we start going over the preparation plan for cat 2021, there’s an extremely important note that one should always keep in mind –
Examinations can induce discomfort and tension at times. Still, the situation doesn’t have to be that. There are many tried and tested approaches that can help you smartly study for tests. When the happy coincidence of scoring well and beyond as compared to others does not happen, one needs to look past it instead of being resigned to what one perceives as a disappointment. Students ought to see that several years into the future, despite their victories, everything would feel minute and trivial to them. Do not give up no matter what happens. Focus with absolute persistence on achieving the ultimate objective. You’re going to do perfectly! Remember, procrastination does not deliver attractive test outcomes. A realistic approach can help you smoothly discuss each issue. We hope these eight tips will help you get through each test in the best way. Many who attain success with MBAP will deservedly applaud their victory, but hopefully, they will look past their outcomes to what more could be feasible in the future. That’s an important lesson for all of us that tests are a means to an end and not an end in themselves.
There are some basic tips that one should remember while preparing for a competitive exam like CAT.
Verbal ability and reading comprehension (VARC)
This section is divided widely into the comprehension of reading, vocabulary, grammar, and verbal capacity. Applicants need to use a different method for each section to practice for this section of the CAT test. For starters, reading comprehension training should start much sooner, as it is more about establishing and nurturing the habit of reading.
Data interpretation and logical reasoning (DILR)
The most critical thing in planning for DILR is to have the clarity of foundational principles. Since the questions in this segment are focused on facts and reasoning, the candidates need to develop sharp analytical skills and attention to detail. Tables, Line Maps, Pie Charts, Bar Charts, and Mixed Charts are big subjects to review for DILR.
Quantitative Ability (QA)
This is the final and the most comprehensive portion of the CAT test. Math topics including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Mensuration are included in the QA section. For all principles, formulas, and theorems, the trick to excelling in this portion of the CAT exam is to be comprehensive. Build the capacity to mentally calculate, too. While in the examination centre a calculator will be given, the mental calculation will save more time.
We at MBAP suggest the following schedule if you’re planning to start anywhere between January to March
