Many students struggle to find comprehensive and structured study materials that align with the very dynamic CAT exam pattern.

Secondly, solving unrelated questions that CAT does not test at all further dilutes your precious and hence, a focused study plan is always suggested. Only once you have the right material at place, you can easily meet your daily CAT targets.
2. Time Management Issues for CAT
Balancing CAT preparation with other responsibilities, such as college, work or personal commitments is surely a challenge. Hence, adhering to a strict daily study schedule to meet your daily CAT targets become even more challenging. Without effective time management, daily targets in most cases remain unmet. Hence, a proper program which motivates you to study but also has some level of flexibility can be a promising solution.
3. Inadequate Practice of CAT-Level Questions
Practicing questions that do not match the difficulty and style of actual CAT questions are nothing but sheer waste of time. It can lead to a false sense of preparedness which brings zero value to the table. And when finally, students face the actual CAT exam, they seem to be underprepared which leads to frustration and decreased self-confidence. Additionally, students tend to jump the gun and starts solving higher order questions without setting a good, solid foundation. Hence, a good structured program easily mitigate this risk as well.
4. Limited Access to Expert Guidance
Having access to best of the best mentors or experts who can provide timely feedback and clarify doubts is very important. Without this support, students may struggle to understand difficult concepts or rectify mistakes. One may not find this very important but leads to hinderance in their preparation or just delays their completion of the syllabus. Though many claim that CAT preparation can be done by ourselves but if you have other commitments, it is always better for a structurally strict program.
