Tips and Guidance to Score 100 Percentile in CAT 2021
1. Give equal importance to all 3 sections of the CAT Exam – Verbal Ability And Reasoning Comprehension (VARC), Quantitative Ability (QA), Data Interpretation And Logical Reasoning (DILR) to crack all the sections with higher scores. Instead of studying sections per day, start solving problems from all the sections each day. Focus on each and every problem that you feel easy, difficult and tough. You can begin by solving the Common Admission Test mock test, solve sample papers and previous papers, etc.
2. Increase the frequency of the practice test/Mock test Slowly but steadily. Taking the mock tests helps in preparing well for the exam as it improves accuracy with proper speed to attempt the paper. In the last few days, the toppers try and take as many mock tests as they can. First, start with the section-wise and one complete mock test each day and gradually increase the number. The goal should be to take 3-4 mock tests per day. Mock Test/Tutorials to understand the format of the test will be available on the CAT website from the last week of October 2021.
Take more sectional tests of those particular areas to strengthen them. After taking about 6-7 mocks, focus on the time taken to solve a particular question, the accuracy percentage, the reading speed, the effectiveness in scanning the questions, and target the doable ones.
3. Smart Work Along with Hard work i.e. to increase good attempts and decrease bad ones. A CAT topper sets their eye on the result and works smartly to achieve the same. Aim to get 19 to 20 good attempts (correct and confident) and decrease bad attempts (not sure answer), as much as they can. In CAT 2021, for the correct answer, 3 marks are awarded but for marking an incorrect answer for MCQ questions, there is a negative marking of one mark.
4. Reading is the key for verbal ability. Generally, 34 questions are asked in the VARC section, out of which 24 questions are purely reading comprehension. To improve reading skills, you should read and analyze articles and paras from leading English Newspapers and Magazines – The Hindu, Economic Times, and books by good authors. Books like word power and how to prepare for verbal ability and Reading Comprehension for CAT also helps students crack the section.
5. Speed and Accuracy: Learn tricks and out-of-the-box thinking to crack the verbal ability and logical reasoning section. Learn tips and tricks to solve and calculate faster and also keep accuracy. Aspirants must follow and use Vedic maths and abacus. It helps in enhancing calculation and basic maths, which eventually saves a lot of time in solving the questions in the exam.
6. Take a break whenever required, do not exhaust yourself before the exam. You need to burn the midnight lamps to get success. Every day try to do a thing that helps in relaxing physically and mentally. You can try yoga or workout or listening to music, painting or talking to loved ones or sports or any other stuff that helps you to relax.
