Identify your strength and weaknesses. Make sure you practice more on your weaknesses more and also do not leave your strengths aside. You keep giving less hours on your strength and more hours on your weaknesses. Also keep on practising model papers and keep time yourself for each section as time is an important factor in CAT.

To get a good percentile in CAT, you need to score well in all the domains. So, I would suggest you to work hard in Maths. However you can get an average score if you aren't good in Maths. For MBA, you can easily perform well even if you are not so good in Maths.
