Daily preparation of around 4-5 hours should be okay if you plan on starting today. But if you started before; like in Jan/feb, then a regular 2-3 hour preparation is sufficient.

12:43 PM

Sir as you said that 4-5 hours daily to be put into for cat preparation so my question is that how many rc should be solved daily and how many questions of quant and dilr should be solved

12:43 PM

Please suggest some strategies for working professionals as it is difficult to extract 4-5 hrs from daily routine

12:43 PM

Mayank, you should target atleast 98%ile this time to do justice to the 92%ile of last year and its opportuniites you might have left out. To get this score, you will have to spend most of the remaining months on 1. Mock writing and analysis, 2. Focusing on areas that are important in each section ; RC for English, Numbers, Geometry, T&D, T&W, Functions, Basic Arithmetic (percentages, P&L, SICI etc), P&C, Averages and Progressions without fail.

12:44 PM

For your DILR, solve a minimum of 3 sets each of DI and LR every day without fail

12:44 PM

And for quant and rc?

12:45 PM

Working professionals - wake up early! no other options. Sleep for 5 hours if you are currently sleeping for 8. Use those extra 3 hours. Do not keep things for night. It wont work.

12:45 PM

Do atleast one hour of RC every day. That should be around 6 sets of RC and analysis. Another 1.5 hour of DILR and 1.5 hour of Quant.

12:46 PM

What about study material and also is it advisable to take coaching at this stage?

12:46 PM

How many and which mocks ? And please share study materials and strategy for the same

12:47 PM

Firstly, if you are starting today, and you never wrote CAT before, then coaching is a must!

12:47 PM

Any good institute's study material is sufficient

12:47 PM

12:48 PM

12:53 PM

Thanks you srinivas sir for advising me in this crucial moment like as you said about 1.5 hour for dilr, 1.5 for quant and 1 hour for rc and analysis, so sir the number of hours in each quant,Dilr and rc should be increased systemically or should for rest 3.5 months 4-5 hours per day strategy should be kept, if I start just now?
