Q:   What is the best time to practice CMAT mock test before exam day?
A:

CMAT exam is held in 2 shifts- 9 am to 12 pm and 3 pm to 6 pm. Many candidates may not be in a habit of studying in the morning and many may not be in the habit of studying in the afternoon. So, candidates must try to practice one CMAT mock test during the same time as their test slot, in order to have a prior experience of solving calculation heavy questions.

Q:   Are CMAT mock tests enough for exam preparation?
A:

If you have appeared for CMAT before then you can prepare for another attempt only with mock tests as you would be already thorough with the syllabus and topics. You would also know your strengths and weakness. So, with CMAT mock tests, you will be able to revise and prepare accordingly. However, if you haven't appeared for CMAT or any national level MBA entrance exam before, you will need to cover the syllabus and then practice mock tests. In both scenarios, GK section will have to be prepared through year books. Only mock tests will not be helpful for CMAT GK.
