Error 1: Pushing Your CAT 2025 Preparation To Monday
The most common trait of serious CAT aspirants is consistency, discipline, commitment, and hard work. If you don’t exhibit these traits, then unfortunately, you won’t be able to crack the CAT in 2025. Students who lack them continue to push their preparation timeline to every Monday, which never comes in their dictionary. The more you delay your preparation for the CAT exam, the more you increase your chances of not achieving a satisfactory score in this entrance exam and taking a step back from pursuing a full-time MBA programme from a top-tier business institute. Thus, stop making any more excuses and start your CAT 2025 Preparation now to taste outstanding success.
Error 2: Multiple Revisions Before Appearing For Mocks CAT 2025 Preparation
Often, students don’t appear for the mock tests, thinking that they’re not fully prepared yet. Most of them think that one more revision is required, and then it will be a good time to appear for the mock tests. Well, this is not the right approach. At iQuanta, we believe that it’s best to practice mocks under extreme pressure, as that will give you clarity about your knowledge, time management, and accuracy skills. Upon appearing for mock tests, you will understand which topics are your weaknesses and what strategies you should implement regularly to fix them.
Error 3: Less Focus On Reading Comprehension
You are comprehending the passages very easily, but when it comes to solving a passage from CAT PYQs, you’re unable to resolve them. Here, you need to acknowledge the fact that you still need to put more effort and hard work into mastering the RC section. Take two steps back, choose a mentor or join the iQuanta fast track batch and acquire a thorough knowledge of all the subjects from which passages are repetitively asked in this section, along with the tips to interpret them with a logical approach. In our classes, we teach the students how they can increase their reading speed and finish reading a single passage within a stipulated timeline. Our advice is that every student read 2 passages daily. Besides this, one should also develop a habit of reading newspapers (The Hindu, The Economist), magazines, and English books to become familiar with diversified topics and become an expert in interpreting the base of the challenging passages.
Error 4: Getting Stuck On a Particular Question Set
CAT 2025 Preparation is not tough or any kind of rollercoaster ride. It requires a strategic approach and smart work to solve maximum questions in less time. Your ultimate goal should be to provide a correct response to achieve +3 positive marking. Unfortunately, we see that most candidates have this common myth that it’s important to solve every question, which is not true at all. You must solve only a specific number of correct questions, which can help you achieve the target sectional cut-off and acceptable percentile as per your chosen reservation category.
Additionally, even if you have spent more than 10-15 minutes on a particular QA, VARC or DILR set during CAT 2025 Preparation and now are facing challenges while solving it, then it’s better to drop your ego aside and let it go. Just because there were certain good questions in that set doesn’t mean it’s compulsory to solve the entire set today. You can make the best use of the remaining time to study a different topic or practice questions from topics that you have a profound understanding.
Error 5: Not Spending Enough Time On Mock Performance Analysis
Constantly appearing for CAT mocks and not analysing them is the biggest mistake any candidate can make, isn’t it? If you’re tripping over constantly, then there’s no way to ace the CAT 2025 because until today, you haven’t reviewed your mock test performance, nor have you tried to find a relevant solution for improvement. Your CAT 2025 Preparation should not only include appearing for maximum mock tests, but you must analyse them the very next day to rectify the repetitive errors. Instead of giving so many mocks, give one mock test on Monday and allocate enough time for analysis on Tuesday. Repeat this same strategy for the remaining week. Maintain an error log and note them down. Ensure to take a look before your next mock test and prevent yourself from committing the same blunder again.
