Yet, after so much, many aspirants struggle to score good marks, all thanks to speed and accuracy. Choosing speed often leads to mistakes; focusing too much on accuracy eats up valuable time. It\u2019s a frustrating cycle. Every year, thousands fall into this trap, stagnating in mock scores despite consistent effort. If you\u2019re reading this, you probably relate and you\u2019re looking for a way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the question remains: speed or accuracy? Some aim for more attempts with lower accuracy; others play safe with fewer, accurate ones. Well there should be a balance between these two but even if you know the answer but you&#8217;re unable to manage time then accuracy alone cannot help you crack the exam. Since CAT is just 5 months away, iQuanta has come up with its super exclusive feature of Cut Short by Indra which will have all the important shortcuts that will help you save your time in every question. This will be launched soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark>Join this free whatsapp group to get the latest information about CAT exam along with the strategies by CAT experts<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/I9G5fXbkZLM6Vcx27K10jB\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-1024x475.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48546\" style=\"width:440px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-1024x475.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-300x139.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-768x356.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-905x420.jpeg 905w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-150x70.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-696x323.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-1068x496.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/speed-vs-accuracy-for-cat-2025\/#Speed_vs_Accuracy%E2%80%93Which_one_is_better_to_score_a_99_percentile\" >Speed vs Accuracy\u2013Which one is better to score a 99+ percentile?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/speed-vs-accuracy-for-cat-2025\/#What_do_iQuanta_CAT_99_percentilers_have_to_say_Speed_or_Accuracy\" >What do iQuanta CAT 99+ percentilers have to say?

Speed or Accuracy?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the iQuanta CAT Toppers Meetup, several 99+ percentilers shared their key insight: the real secret to a high CAT score lies in striking the <strong>right balance between speed and accuracy<\/strong>. Both are essential, and mastering that balance comes only through smart preparation and consistent practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They highlighted two key lessons that every CAT aspirant should remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First<\/strong>,<strong> iQuanta\u2019s dual pedagogy<\/strong> helped them apply concepts creatively. After each conceptual class, they practiced CAT-level questions posted in a special group by iQuanta\u2019s top faculty of around 20\u201325 questions with a strict time limit. This regular timed practice revealed something simple yet powerful. <strong>Everyone takes less time on easy questions and more time on tough ones<\/strong>. The takeaway? No one is a prodigy\u2014it\u2019s all about how well you manage your time across questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most toppers first tackled easy-to-moderate questions, then moved to tougher ones or skipped them strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second<\/strong>, they discovered their ideal <strong>attempt-to-accuracy ratio<\/strong> through repeated mock tests. By taking enough iQuanta CAT 2025 mock tests, they learned to attempt <strong>fewer questions in tough papers<\/strong> and <strong>more in easier ones<\/strong>, adjusting their strategy based on the difficulty level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1-1068x1068.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cutshort-bundle-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-to-speed-and-accuracy-iquanta-dual-pedagogy-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_to_Speed_and_Accuracy%E2%80%93iQuanta_Dual_Pedagogy\"><\/span><strong>Solution to Speed and Accuracy\u2013iQuanta Dual Pedagogy&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost all iQuanta CAT toppers shared that the <strong>dual pedagogy approach<\/strong> played a crucial role in helping them find the right balance between speed and accuracy.
