Few tips from my side to crack the Cat-1- If you are doing your Graduation than start preparing from second year of graduation.
2- If you completed Graduation and ready to give the Cat in next coming November, Prepare ar least 10-14 hours daily and seriously.
3- Minimum 10 hours study required before the 6 months of Cat exams.
4- Minimum 10,000 Vocabulary (new databank) required to prepare.
5- Daily two hours required to study newspapers and Editorials. (English)
6- Read at least two magazines, one novel each week.
7- Try for the shortcuts of mathematics. Calculations must be strong.
8- See any type of graph in any where you find, try to interpret that as fast as possible.
9- Change your attitude. Make one decision strictly. And only try for right decision or don’t answer in case of ambiguity.
10- Read whatever you love. But try to read on different subjects articles.
11- Before three months of Cat, Daily solve one set of available question paper.
12- Try to make logical sense everywhere.
13- Try to solve calculations mentally.

the most ridiculous CAT tips i’ve ever seen.
10-14 hours study?? Seriously?? are you crazy? i don’t think even IAS or IIT-JEE requires that much of labour.
1-2 hours every 6 days a week for 10-12 months is not bad. If you can squeeze a couple of hours once in a while as and when you get extra time, that is more than sufficient.
you are forgetting that several good b-school also lay a lot of emphasis on your graduation marks or your career achievements. from where can we get the time for studying 10-14 hours for CAT when you are expected to either attend college or do a job which will take around 8-12 hours daily, when will we sleep? Don’t say that you were talking about sitting at home unemployed and exclusively studying for CAT with no other activity, that’s never feasible, you’ll be rejected in the interview stage if you do that. Even a donkey can get into an IIM if he has no job/no college and the whole day to study for CAT.
reading, comprehending and writing a short summary of editorials daily, is a good habit but it hardly takes 20-25mins, another 15-20min to read the whole newspaper for general awareness. are you asking us to memeorize the paper in 2hrs?
and 10,000 words for vocab! trust me it will be a complete waste of time and energy. mugging up words will take you nowhere. CAT has stopped giving pure vocab questions long back, nowadays vocab questions are usage based, apart from meaning you also have to know where do we use which words. and even after memorizing 10k words there’s no guarantee that you won’t get an unknown word in the test, so all you prep will be wasted. there are other verbal ques. apart from vocab, focus on them, and try to improve your vocab gradually but don’t rely on it. if you get common words, good but if you don’t, relax, very few people are that good in vocab and that won’t affect your chances if you can do the other quest well.
remember CAT only tests your aptitude and common sense. just putting in more hours will not benefit anyone.
just be regular, make sure you have basic grip over most topics of quant, and good grip over some topics, practice lots of DI & LR sets, read a lot for verbal, take 10-15 mocks and analyze them thoroughly. that’s it. leave the rest to luck. any more effort will be waste. and most importantly learn to chill. there is life beyond CAT.
and don’t blindly follow everyone’s advice. this guy is misleading you people. somebody might even say “i ate paste before my exam” and got 6 IIM calls, does that mean doing the same will do any good. do whatever you feel is helping you improve your funda or speed.
thanks for giving tips!!!!!? It very helpful to us.
