- Have Focused Strategy: For CAT 2022 preparation, your strategy should be tailormade. As every individual will have their unique strategy based on their strengths and weaknesses. Pay attention to the time constraint. Prepare your strategy based on the topics from which the questions have been asked.
- Practice: Practice as much as you can. Attempt Mock tests. They will provide you with a real environment of the examination questions. Be true to yourself and see how you are faring in the mock exams. Work hard on the topics on which your scores are not good. Analyze your performance in the mock tests.
- Speed and Accuracy: As CAT is all about accuracy, be sure of the answers that you mark. As CAT has a sectional limit of 40 minutes (CAT 2021), make sure you maintain the speed also while answering the questions. Leave the questions that you find difficult. Be selective in answering the questions. Vedic math and learning tables, squares are going to help you in speed building for the exam.
And, last but not least have faith in yourself and work hard. All the best for your CAT 2022 preparation.
