Mr. Praneet Jain, the associate director of CX Strategy and Flipkart hosted the iQuanta\u2019s CAT Toppers Meet 2026 held on February 21, 2026. During this event, Anuj Kumar shared his CAT section-wise scores which are 99.68 percentile in CAT overall and a 99.98 in QA. The outcome of his hard work and dedicated preparation strategy is visible from his scores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While praising him for the achievement, Mr. Praneet Jain asked about how difficult it was to get a high score, focusing on the lows he must have hit during his CAT preparation journey. Sharing his struggle, Anuj, who is now known as the iQuanta Topper, revealed that he remembers a time when he scored merely 9 marks in VARC in a mock test. LRDI for Anuj seemed manageable and he was able to score sufficient marks in mock tests. But, he recalls, in the QA section, in one of the mock tests, he scored just 11 marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark>Join iQuanta\u2019s diversified student community for free and prepare with other 4.1L+ peers.

id=\"How_Anuj_Went_From_9_Marks_in_VARC_to_9998ile_in_CAT\"><\/span><strong>How Anuj Went From 9 Marks in VARC to 99.98%ile in CAT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When discussing the moments when he scored really low marks in mocks, for example 9 in VARC or 11 in QA, he says the entire process leading to 99.98%ile in actual CAT was a great experience. Mr Praneet Jain then posed the question on what it felt like when he scored low marks in mocks or what were the thoughts going on in his mind during such a difficult struggling phase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>He took help of iQuanta YouTube live videos by Raj sir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-disciplined his mind and aligned his efforts towards one goal: keep working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He followed the saying by Raj Sir, \u2018Put your head down and work\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He understood the guidance that \u2018Hardwork is all you can do\u2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During his low scoring phase, Anuj replayed iQuanta\u2019s live YouTube videos to stay motivated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He followed the words of his mentor and kept working hard despite low mock scores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-overcome-the-guilt-of-low-cat-mock-test-scores-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Overcome_the_Guilt_of_Low_CAT_Mock_Test_Scores\"><\/span><strong>How to Overcome the Guilt of Low CAT Mock Test Scores&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting question was posed before Anuj, how did he overcome the guilt of low scores or what did he do to get out of such a situation? First, he felt low, he felt that he was in a bad situation but then something happened as he was iQuanta\u2019s student, he would get this message on WhatsApp, \u2018Practice Session at a scheduled time\u2019. With this message, he would push himself harder to take the session and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>He practiced the \u20188 questions in 40 minutes\u2019 session that was conducted by Indrajeet Sir, founder and CEO of iQuanta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He decided to take the test and if he felt like taking a break after it, he would do that or study after the test depending on how the day unfolded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The practice sessions of iQuanta helped Anuj build consistency. You can take the practice sessions yourself&nbsp; to build consistency like Anuj and score 99+ percentile in CAT 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-importance-of-showing-up-in-your-cat-prep\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_Showing_Up_in_Your_CAT_Prep\"><\/span><strong>Importance of Showing Up in Your CAT Prep<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on bad days when you are feeling down because of low mock scores, it is important to show up, says Anuj. Consistency is the most important element to build strong practices which will help you succeed in the CAT exam. Anuj further breaks down the idea of consistency when it comes to CAT preparation. This is what he means when he talks about the importance of showing up in your CAT prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You have to develop the habit of showing up even when you don\u2019t feel like it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showing up every day translates into consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sincere CAT preparation demands consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even if you study for 2-4 hours a day, you have to remain consistent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iquanta-gave-me-sufficient-material-to-study\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iQuanta_Gave_Me_Sufficient_Material_to_Study\"><\/span><strong>iQuanta Gave Me Sufficient Material to Study<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anuj says that mid-night classes for working professionals gave him flexibility to learn at night even though he was not a working professional, the timing and ease of access helped him revise CAT concepts at convenient times. Another session which ran its course during his prep was iQuanta\u2019s CAT before CAT which helped him train his mind for the actual CAT exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anuj showed deep appreciation and thanked the teachers of iQuanta for providing these two invaluable resources which shaped 60-70% of his CAT preparation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Live Classes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Application Classes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-s-strategy-for-scoring-99-percentile-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Toppers_Strategy_for_Scoring_99_Percentile\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper\u2019s Strategy for Scoring 99+ Percentile&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As per Anuj, the best part about learning with iQuanta was that, time and again he was grounded. He was also given a reality check by Raj sir which gave him much needed clarity. CAT preparation is difficult and you must be consistent and stay focused to perform well, says Anuj. Here is the algorithm or strategy which Anuj followed to avoid time wastage when prepping for the CAT exam last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Strategy to Follow As Per CAT 2025 Topper<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Strategy<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Details<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Follow the Live + Application classes of iQuanta<\/td><td>If you follow this step religiously, you\u2019ll go through the CAT syllabus 4 times.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Strong Topics<\/td><td>If you are well-versed with a CAT topic, decide whether to take the class or not.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Class or Mock<\/td><td>Attend class if you need to get familiar with a topic, if already familiar, skip the class and practice mock tests.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Balance Mocks + Classes<\/td><td>Divide your time between mock tests or taking a class depending on how well you understand the topic.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application Classes<\/td><td>Use the application classes as a revision tool if already familiar with the CAT concepts.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iim-calls-2026-at-99-98-ile-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IIM_Calls_2026_at_9998ile\"><\/span><strong>IIM Calls 2026 at 99.98%ile&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At 99.98%ile, Anuj expects luck to come his way along with hard work he believes he will be able to crack top IIM and government B-school calls.
