Complete Journey of a CAT 2025 Topper Sankalp Raj (99.68%ile)
“GEM 9/9/8
13 Months Workex
I started my prep with iQuanta around mid August and had around 3 months for prep. I joined the last batch of Iquanta and started with the basics first. After working for around more than a year in corporate, habit of studying was the main issue. I started sitting for long hours and before I knew it, I was on the right track.
Started giving mocks in september and practiced VARC alot. My first mock experience was very humbling, scored around 40 marks in it. I analysed my mistakes and worked on them.
The month of Oct was very crucial for me, I jumped from 70s-80s to early 100s till the end of Oct. This was due to focusing on all the three subjects, with extra effort in VARC. November was mostly mocks and practicing more questions. My reading speed was up, I was consistently scoring good and was confident. I gave around 45 mocks and 90 sectionals(45-20-25). But, D-day had other plans. This is good but I could’ve done better. Feels like boundary pe catchout hogya. Hoping for the best. Let’s see!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank iQuanta team for providing great resources for the prep. Special thanks to
Sajjan sir for very patiently clearing the doubts and Raj sir for the harsh truth bombs that were very necessary.”
Challenges Faced by the CAT 2025 Topper Sankalp Raj
In his words: “Your prep journey- I started my prep around late August and had around 3 months for prep. I joined the last batch of Iquanta and started with the basics first. Coming from an engineering background, nothing was new as such but after working for around more than a year in corporate, habit of studying was the main issue. I started sitting for long hours and before I knew it, I was on the right track. Started giving mocks around mid sept and practiced VARC alot. The month of Oct was very crucial for me, I jumped from 70s-80s to early 100s till the end of Oct. This was due to focusing on all the three subjects, with extra effort in VARC. November was mostly mocks and practicing more questions. My reading speed was up, I was consistently scoring good and was confident. I gave around 45 mocks and 90 sectionals(45-20-25). But, D-day had other plans. This is good but I could’ve done better. I was aiming for 99.9+but missed this by a thin margin. Hoping for the best. Let’s see!“
