CAT 2024: Avoid these errors while preparing for CAT exam

CAT 2024

With the CAT exam scheduled for November 24, 2024, by IIM Calcutta, candidates should now focus on final revisions to make the most of the remaining time. As the CAT is one of India’s most competitive exams, it’s essential to be well-prepared, both mentally and strategically, for exam day. Here are some practical tips to help you avoid common errors and maximize your performance.

CAT 2024 Final Preparation Tips

  1. Focus on One Book or Source With only a few weeks left, avoid switching between multiple study materials. Pick one reliable book or resource and stick to it. Jumping between different books can lead to confusion and waste precious time.
  2. Practice Mock Tests and Past Papers Regularly take CAT mock tests and review previous years’ papers. This practice will help you get familiar with the question types and improve your speed, which is crucial for the actual exam. Mock tests also help you manage time better, giving you a feel of the real exam environment.
  3. Avoid Starting New Topics In these last days, it’s best to focus on revising what you’ve already studied. Starting new topics at this stage may add unnecessary stress and consume more time than expected. Prioritize topics you are already familiar with and work on perfecting them.

Key Tips for CAT 2024 Exam Day

  1. Read Each Question Carefully Misinterpreting questions is a common mistake under time pressure. Make sure to read each question carefully to understand exactly what is being asked. Prioritize the questions based on their difficulty and start with the ones you feel most comfortable with.
  2. Don’t Worry About Tough Language Sometimes, questions with complex wording may appear more challenging than they actually are. If you encounter a difficult question, don’t panic. Move on to other questions and return to it later with a clear mind.
  3. Stay Calm with Lengthy Questions Lengthy questions can be intimidating, but they’re often simpler than they look. Don’t let the length of a question make you nervous. Take a moment to assess if it’s worth attempting right away or if you should skip it temporarily.
