CAT Preparation

Hello Aswaria, Mostly students join institutes like TIME, Career Launcher, etc for CAT preparations. You can also do the same as these institutes guide you well throughout your journey of CAT preparation. On the other hand if you are doing job at present, then you can even study on your own. Buy the study material from these institutes and do self study i would however suggest you to join the test series as it gives you a good idea about how CAT would be and helps you prepare well for the exam day Also, not belonging to engineering background has no as such difference. The way to prepare is same for the both. Identify your weak areas and work on them. All the best.

Hi Tanya,
Preparing for CAT is best done with a coaching institute of good reputation like IMS, TIME and Career Launcher. You can take their classroom courses or correspondence courses to receive guidance on various aspects of preparation, sample tests, areas of improvement etc. The CAT exam largely has questions on Maths, English vocabulary and comprehension and Logical reasoning. However, if you are very busy & can not attend classes or coaching you can wish to improve your performance in English, it will help to a) read a lot of news magazines esp. on subjects you are not familiar with to improve your comprehension abilities b) work on your vocabulary at a rate of 5 new words a day using them in sentences and internalizing them rather than learning a whole list of new words. c) reading books on English improvement such as those by Norman Lewis d) finding some sample papers to assess yourself from time to time during your preparation process.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
Wish You Luck!
