For grammar, go through CAT prep books
Only thing which willl definitely help is practice

working on weak areas or strength? (for next 30 days)
02:41 PM
Abishake Koul
Hi Sauman,
The thing with mocks is that you have to analyse them. There will be some sections which you know well. DO them first. Try to find out your weaker sections where you have been going wrong. Work to improve that. Also, leaving some questions is important if you arent able to manage them
02:41 PM

Hi Abhishek. Inspite of a lot of efforts , my scores in Quants are stuck in the 30's in the AIMCATS. Any statergy to improve with the exam fast aproaching?
02:42 PM
Abishake Koul
Hi Oviya, If you are slow you will have to practice more
Try to leave some questions if you aren't able to solve in one go
Try to find strong areas and solve them first
Also give online mock tests, They will help to improve speed

02:43 PM
Abishake Koul
Hi Avinash, There is no defined set of ideal attempts. If you are strong in a section attempt all to achieve 100%
It also depends on whether the paper is tough or easy in that particular year
02:44 PM
Avinash Chakole
can you just give a rough schedule for last 30 days
02:44 PM
Sanket Patra
my weak area is DI and that's only because of lacking speed. Any quick tips?

02:45 PM
Avinash Chakole
what schedule you had while you were preparing
02:45 PM
Abishake Koul
Hi Parvesh,
To improve your verbal scores, give online practice tests, practice is the key
try to find your strong portions in Verbal
ALso, RCs are very important and you have to attempt correctly at any cost
To improve vocab, read Word Power made easy
02:45 PM
Abhishek Tandon
Sir any mistake you did that wasted your time or anything that we need to be careful about while attempting?
02:45 PM
Sanika Naik
hello ,could u tell me if revisiing previous mocks and past cat question papers would be fine ,to go through say all concepts of quants and so on..
02:46 PM
Abishake Koul
Hi Nitesh, CL is easier than AIMCAT but you should improve and try to enter 95-99 in both
Analyse your mocks and practice

Megha Malpani
Hi, can u please tell me what exactly we should be doing in the last 30 days left now ?
02:48 PM
Abishake Koul
Hi, CAT Aspirant
IN RCs there is generally one-two questions which are easy or moderate while the othe two are tougher
So you should cover all RCS to attempt all the easy questions
Try to improve reading speed to manage it
02:49 PM
Abishake Koul
@Utkarsh, For LR & DI, questions are from a pattern, Try to cover all types of patterns, ALso, this section is the key for those who score a good %ile
@Heemang, There is no ideal no of attempts, Depends on paper and your strong suit But accuracy is preferred

Marks on an average in Aimcat are in range of 60 to 96 and number of attempts are close to 40 to 50...any suggestion on is this an alarming situation ?
02:56 PM
Abishake Koul
@Shrey I understand that you are working hard but not getting the results but now is not the time to give up. I suggest you to keep up the good work. There are lots of exams lined up and you will definitely do well in one
@Utkarsh, Inference based questions are the trickiest. They are very confusing and very difficult to find the right answer. Sometimes, it becomes a question of luck as well because it depends on interpretation. If you are very sure, only then attempt otherwise it is a good option to leave
@Piyush Mantra is practice, specially for quants, cover all chapters and portions
@Swapnil, try to narrow your bracket to 95-99
02:56 PM

Last 30 days rough schedule to follow.. How many mocks should be taken?
03:00 PM
Abishake Koul
@Mohit & Akansha & Sanket
Important Things for last 30 days:
Give mocks once in 2 days. Go through the key on next day analysing where you are going wrong. You need to be certain of your strengths and weaknesses before exam. For weak portions, try to revise again. Give the mock in which you did badly again after a week
Also, solving last year Qs gives you confidence of tackling the exam. I did the same
For the last week, keep time to revise everything. All concepts and chapters
03:00 PM
Shrey Singhal
Sir how to revise the quant section shall we practice all basic material or just skim through the formulas and theory?
03:02 PM
Abishake Koul
Yes Shahil, I have discussed, To attempt less, you will have to do all the 3-4 RCs
@Debaditya- Time can be managed by practice
@Arshia- Scores may be less but %ile matters. Mocks give you a good indication, Try to cover all portions and keep giving mocks.
@Nikitha Rondla To increase reading speed, try to read difficult items in newspapers and time yourself. Do the same online for GMAT RCs
@Sanket-Practice to increase speed. Give up if you are not confident or not able to manage
@SImran-Cover all the topics to increase you attempts, Try to find out where you are going wrong,Avoid fluke
03:04 PM

@Avinash I am answering your queries through questions of others. I hope you are getting the answers

Hi Sir, kind of little irrelevant ques here. But can please tell me, does the picture in score card matter as a personality point during interviews. Because I wont be able to shave due to some circumstances. And since nowadays we have our pic on cat score card. Does it matter?

03:07 PM
Abishake Koul
@Abhishek Tandon - I was able to manage time effectively luckily. The key is to not waste time on difficult Qs and for that you ahve to find them out after one reading
@Sanika-It should cover up if you have prepared the topics decent;y before through Arun Sharma or CAT prep books
@Mohanta- Practice

Give mocks once in 2 days. Go through the key on next day analysing where you are going wrong. You need to be certain of your strengths and weaknesses before exam. For weak portions, try to revise again. Give the mock in which you did badly again after a week
Also, solving last year Qs gives you confidence of tackling the exam. I did the same
For the last week, keep time to revise everything. All concepts and chapters. You can actually start it a little earlier
Also, try to form a schedule and stick to it like doing Quants in the morning and VErbal in The evening & Portiosn for specific dates
03:09 PM
Shrey Singhal
Sir how to identify difficult ques in verbal section I do not understand which ques is difficult or easy
03:10 PM
SWAPNIL CHAUHAN
Abhishake...could let us know your section wise attempts in CAT 2015 ? It will give us some idea about that as many of us have appeared in CAT 2015
03:10 PM
Abishake Koul
@Neil - I would say all are important as the questions are a mix of concepts of different topics
@Aditya - Work hard. DOnt be complacent. Cover ecery portion
@Akul You need to narrow the horizon from 90-99, Attempts depend on paper. Don't go with pre conceived notions. If you find paper easy, attempt more
@Punit- Try going through Questions of the same portions from online sources. Time & CL will provide the same. Arun Sharma is good as well
@Saurav-If its one section, try to work hard in that section and improve, If these are different sections, you need to concentrate better and find out by analysing what is going wrong
@Ajinkya-Explained earlier
@Shery- Move to advanced sections rather than working out basic problems. Skimming wont help. DO that for formula on last 2 days
@heemang- No it doesn't. Don't worry about such stuff
@Shrey SInghal-It comes with practice
@Swapnil-I did 75-80% attempts of the two sections we had at that time
03:16 PM
PRIYA PAHWA
Hi abhishek, I am not able to do well in a 3 hour mock test but whenever I give sectional tests, I do relatively well. How should I tackle this?
03:16 PM
Abishake Koul
@Priya-I think the issue is not being able to concentrate for 3 hours at a stretch. This is a serious thing. Try to give two complete mocks or one difficult sectional after a complete mock to get familiar with sitting for a long time. I understand its difficult but you will have to build up the stamina
03:19 PM

If I have missed out any query, kindly repost

One shoud work on weak areas or make the areas of strength more solid ? (for next 30 days)
03:22 PM
Naina Raturi
Hi abhishek. I have been consistently getting 96-97 percentile in the mocks. But i score less in lrdi due to speed issues i think. How should i prepare in these last 30 days to go from 97 to 99 percentile? Ps i am currently solving previous years' papers.
03:23 PM
Avinash Chakole
easy question i can get correct but difficult one how to tackle
03:23 PM
Avinash Chakole
@ naina do you have past cat paper from 2008 to 2015
03:28 PM
Abishake Koul
@Avinash- I attempted all RCs though didn't attempt all Qs in each, left out unsure ones but my reading speed i quick. Make your own strategy according to your strength
@Sanket - Do Both
@Naina-96-97 is good. And the key to 99+ is correctly attempting all LR DI. Because all have either Quant as strong or VErbal as atrong. DR/LI in addition with the other strong gets you to the top of the pyramid
Practice , practice and practice.... Try to do all types of LR/DI Q's
03:29 PM
Abishake Koul
@Avinash That is what the whole exam is about, You will find the answer in above trail
