Re: Enough time to preparation for CAT

As per your request I am providing you some tips and tricks to crack your Cat exam.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a computer based test held in India. The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) started this exam and use the test for selecting students for their business administration programs. The test is conducted every year by one of the IIM's based on a policy of rotation.

This test scores a person on the bases of:
Quantitative ability
data interpretation
verbal ability and logical reasoning.

Typically, an average student requires anywhere from 300 to 500 hours to prepare for CAT.
Even if you can study two to three hours a day till the day of the CAT, you have enough time.
Divide your prep time into 5 sections. Broadly these have to be divided between English Quant DI LR and GK. List all other topics that you need to cover under each of these heads for the CAT . Make sure you hit each topic systematically under this rotation plan. Make sure you do some reading everyday.

Know what the tests consists of to prepare well:

To score well, you need to know what sections the test paper consists of.
CAT consists of Quantitative Ability or mathematical aptitude, Verbal Ability or your English language skills and Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning.
