- Quantifiers
- 1st January 2025
Dreaming of that converted IIM call? Or perhaps envisioning yourself at another top B-school in India? The journey to CAT 2025 begins now, and while the road may seem long, trust us — with the right mindset and strategy, you’ll not only conquer the CAT but thrive along the way.
Why Start Early?
CAT isn’t just an exam. It’s a battle of endurance, intellect, and strategy. Starting early gives you the luxury of time to master the concepts, identify your weaknesses, and develop iron-clad test-taking habits. It’s not about cramming last-minute; it’s about slow, consistent growth.
Month-by-Month Breakdown
Month 1-3: Building the Foundation
Think of this as the groundwork phase. Start by familiarizing yourself with the syllabus and exam pattern. The CAT tests three areas — Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), and Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR).
- VARC: Pick up reading habits. Devour newspapers, novels, and editorials. Your reading speed and comprehension are your superpowers here. You can also make use of Quantifiers Free Daily Targets.
- DILR: Begin with easy level puzzles and solve sets everyday. Make sure to be consistent because once you start getting the hang of it, DILR is fun and productive.
- QA: Dust off those high school math books. Focus on arithmetic, algebra, and number systems. Start slow and steady.
Month 4-6: Conceptual Mastery
Now, it is time to get serious. Join a coaching class if needed or enrol in an online program like Quantifiers and Focus on Sectional tests.
- Goal: Solidify concepts. If you are weak in a particular area, give it extra attention.
- Tip: Maintain error logs. Every mistake you make should be recorded and analysed.
Month 7-9: Test the Waters
Mock tests are your best friend here. By now, you should be comfortable with most topics. Start taking full-length mocks and analyzing performance.
- Key Focus: Accuracy over speed. Speed will follow naturally.
- Pro Tip: Experiment with strategies. Figure out what works best for you.
Month 10-12: Full Throttle
By now, the CAT should feel like second nature. Increase the frequency of mocks. Challenge yourself with tougher questions and identify patterns.
- Focus: Time management and stress handling.
- Mindset: Stay calm, stay hungry.
- It’s crunch time. Revise formulas, short tricks, and strategies. Take one mock every other day and review them religiously.
- Rest: Do not burn out. Keep a healthy balance of prep and relaxation.
- Visualization: Picture yourself acing the exam. Believe in your preparation.
