6 months is a decent period of time to crack CAT.
In CAT, there are different sections- Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning and Verbal and Reading Comprehension. Each section of the test has a few important topics which you must cover.
Maths:
Students from non-engineering backgrounds are not too comfortable in QA. If you are not an engineering student then you must focus in this section to improve your score, which will impact overall MAT percentile.
The most important topics being - Logarithm, Algebra, Geometry, Permutation and Combination and Probability.
LR/DI:
Again a section where high-scoring can be done

Hi,
I think the only answer to the question is practice as much as you can. In Christ, they don't look at section wise score, so you don't have to worry about it. Don't attempt any question unless you are sure of the answer. If you get an over all 70%, that would be sufficient to be eligible for admission in Christ.

Maths is not rocket science. Maths questions in CAT are of higher secondary school certificate level. You can learn Maths by self preparations and/ or external support. If you take out fear of Maths out of you and draft a plan to overcome your weaknesses in Maths then you will definitely able to crack CAT.

The IIFT entrance exam is similar to CAT but with an additional GK section and varied difficulty level. It seems reasonable to attempt it as well while preparing for CAT as it is the only way to get into this reputed college.

You can go for Delhi school of Economics, FMS Banaras University and few others. But these are all tough to get into. If you want to appear in any other exams then you can also go for TISS.

You see brother, CAT has most number of colleges under it's umbrella. But, some excellent non IIM B -Schools take their own exams. For example, XLRI takes through CAT, TISS takes through TISSNET. Similarly, there are other exams for symbiosis, Irma and Delhi school of economics.

It is impossible to get a good college at just 60 percentile in CAT exam. The cutoffs of all top colleges are generally above 85-90 percentile. So, it would be better to keep 90+ as your aim. All the best.

Yes, you can prepare for CAT at home. First, clear your basics and then move forward.
Here are some books that you can refer for your preparation:-
