If you’re someone who thinks it’s impossible to prepare for CAT while working full-time, trust me—I’ve been there.
I’m Vishan—and I scored 99.4%ile in CAT in my second attempt. But this isn’t just a number for me. It’s the result of months of calculated effort, struggle, and a solid support system… all while juggling a 12-hour job.
When I decided to give it another shot, I promised myself two things:
Here’s what my day looked like:
Quantitative Aptitude (QA): Focused only on weekends. Refined concepts, mocks, and analysis. The classes are well organized and you get worksheets which really help you out. Especially the detail in which syllabus is covered is amazing, you do not have to worry of you’re missing on anything.
DILR: I made it a rule—2 sets every day, no matter what, DILR. There were 3 major components in DILR – Lectures + Assignments, section wise tests + live mock analysis. Live mock analysis really helped me to frame the approach.
Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC): 3-4 RCs daily. Even if I was dead tired, this was non-negotiable. Quantifiers have more than 150 sectionals and all that really helped me to keep on track, sectionals which come with video solutions really helped me groom my approach.
At the end of the day, I had to give my daily update to Sahil Sir, no matter what the time, be it 1 am or 1 pm.
It wasn’t about how long I studied. It was about what I studied and how I executed it.
Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Start with what you have, stay accountable, and trust the process.
Your 99%ile is waiting.
