How many hours does one needs to give in if one decides not to opt for any coaching classes?

01:55 PM

Hey Navya! typically 300-400 hours is what you need

01:56 PM

more important is how you divide the hours and make focused approach

01:56 PM

Do you have any other question?

Hey guys

02:08 PM

post your questions regarding CAT 2018

02:08 PM

CAT 2018 is almost 11 months away and that enough time to get that 100%ile mark

02:14 PM

Did u join any coaching institute.If yes then which ?

02:19 PM

I took multiple CAT attempts, first in CAT 2013, i joined TIME back then; i decided to join job instead of any b-school; i took cat again in 2015 without any coaching, scored close to 92%ile, joined IMT

02:21 PM

I am about to graduate in March 2018

02:21 PM

I strongly believe that coaching class is just an enabler and you can crack CAT even without any class

02:22 PM

Any recommended study plan?

02:33 PM

First find out strong points of yours and weak points

02:34 PM

then see where do you need to work the most

02:34 PM

I took coaching from TIME and my 2016 score is 82 percentile. i did not attempted 2017. i want to attempt 2018 with self preparation. can u suggest me any tips or plan?

02:35 PM

So you already know what your weak points are and where do you lack

02:37 PM

first take a pen and paper, write down areas where you struggle, work hard on them

02:37 PM

do it for 2 months initiallt

02:37 PM

start taking sectional tests then to see if you have improved

02:37 PM

yes. i didnt attempted many mocks at that time. can you specify about role of mocks and how to get true CAT level mocks?

02:39 PM

Mocks are very essential to check performance in real time environment. TIME mocks are usually higher than the CAT level which i don't recommend

02:41 PM

According to u Time isn't a gud coaching institute to join ?

02:43 PM

I am not saying anything about good or bad; coachings are enabler, you may join TIME or CL or IMS, but its upto you, to make best use of your time and resources

02:44 PM

Any other queries folks?

02:57 PM
