If you’re studying for CAT and still haven’t begun taking mocks… let’s be frank — you’re already behind.
Mocks aren’t just the last leg of preparation.
They are THE preparation.
Every year, lakhs of aspirants study the same concepts, solve similar material, and attend the same classes.
The difference between a 90 and a 99 percentile? More often than not — it’s the timely use of mocks.
Here’s why taking CAT mocks early is not just smart, but absolutely necessary:
Most students waste months chasing the syllabus.
But CAT doesn’t test your memory — it tests your decision-making under pressure.
Mocks replicate the exact CAT environment:
The earlier you begin, the sooner your brain adjusts.
You don’t have to complete the syllabus before your first mock.
That’s a myth.
Your initial mocks are diagnostic tools. They:
Without this feedback, you’re preparing in the dark.
Top percentile scorers don’t attempt everything — they choose wisely.
Taking mocks early teaches you to:
And this takes weeks of experimentation. Starting early gives you that time.
Without CAT mocks, it’s easy to live in a false sense of preparation:
“I’ve solved 10 RCs today. I’m killing VARC.”
But can you solve them:
Mocks reveal your true readiness, not just your notebook confidence.
CAT doesn’t repeat questions, but it repeats patterns
With regular mocks, your instincts sharpen:
Only CAT mocks can build this intuition.
Stress management. Mental recovery. Sectional bounce-back.
None of this comes from theory.
Mocks train your emotional stamina.
Those who start mocks late often panic when early scores are low.
Those who start early? They’ve already absorbed the hits. They build resilience and composure.

Mocks aren’t the end of your CAT prep — they’re the center of it all.
Mocks are the game-changers. They simulate the real CAT exam environment and help you assess your time management, accuracy, and stamina. Practising mocks early = lesser stress later.
NOW. The earlier you begin, the faster you learn from your mistakes. Most toppers started taking mocks 6–8 months before CAT day.
Ideally, 30–40 full-length mocks and sectional tests. But it’s about quality over quantity. Analyse them deeply for maximum results.
Break it down by section, spot weak topics, identify time-consuming questions, and track your accuracy. Smart analysis = smart improvement.
NOPE. Low scores are part of the process. Even 99%ilers flunked mocks in July–August. Stay consistent and keep learning.

Absolutely. Mocks pinpoint your pattern of mistakes. With our 1-on-1 mentorship, you’ll master your weak zones.
Yes. Start with what you know and build up. Don’t wait for perfection.
Mock scores in July don’t predict the final percentile. Many 99%ilers were scoring less than 80 at this stage. 🎯 Focus on progress, not perfection.
Start with 1–2 mocks/week. By September, ramp it up to 2–3 per week.
💡 Smart prep > random practice
Only if you analyse them well. 40 mocks = 40 opportunities to learn — if done right.
