Prepare a Time-Table - You need to have fool-proof planning of all your moves in the direction of preparation for CAT 2020. Approximately 40 days are left the main exam and this is the time to revise all your concepts/short tricks etc. Also, preparing a time-table according to your short-comings will be very fruitful.
Take a Break - "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" - this saying is quite true, especially when you are studying continuously for long durations. We suggest you take regular short breaks from your studies to refresh and rejuvenate. This helps you to concentrate even more and makes your efforts fruitful.
Attempt Mocks and Previous Years' Papers - To have the best idea of the type of questions, exam pattern etc., you must attempt more and more mock tests. Attempting mocks and making mistakes while doing so is the best practice as you get a chance to identify and rectify your shortcomings
