Hello friend;

Greeting for the day;

PEOPLE Generally spend most of the time planning instead of executing their plans. You have to manage your schedules in such a way that you can make the most of it. so don't plan too much and try to execute plan as soon as possible.Try and follow few steps which is given below :-
First of all You should put in equal effort in Quantitative aptitude, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension and Data Interpretation. You should not try to take short-cuts as there is no substitute to the fundas.
Slot some hours every week for revision. When you revise you should plan revision of all the topics you have completed till the day.

CAT is not about solving a problem. It is about choosing the best alternative among the choices given. Regular test-taking with time limits help tremendously in improving test-taking skills and rectify your mistakes afterwards , then and only then you should move ahead to take another test.During examination manage you time properly to solve each and every portion.

Regards :-
khanddn

hello
It is completely your choice that how you want to prepare for CAT. You may go in for coaching as there are many leading institutes like Bullseye,Career launcher,IMS,Times etc offering coaching for CAT and various other MBA entrance exams like SNAP and many more. Attending classes is really beneficial as they keep you regular with the study material. And moreover they provide sufficient study material.
Apart from classes there are practice books available in the market covering three main subjects(verbal,quant and DI(data interpretation)) of CAT like
1)quantitative aptitude by ARUN SHARMA
2)data interpretation by ARUN SHARMA
3)verbal analysis by ARUN SHARMA
also there are books by R S AGGARWAL
Verbal is a tricky part to tackle with in the exam so in order to have an upper edge in the same one must devote a large time in reading newspapers and magazine. reading helps in doing well in RCs(reading comprehensions) that form a major part of the verbal section. Practice minimum 2 and maximum 3RCs daily.
To do well in QUANT section revise the formulas thoroughly and practice a lot.
For DI section there is no hard and fast rule to excel. Practice is the only mantra to success.
MAKE IT A HABBIT TO PRACTICE THE THREE SUBJECTS DAILY.
GOOD LUCK

its consist of aptitude,mathematics of 10th level and english.
a normal student good in maths can easily solve it.while aptitude needs practise and high on spot thinking level
and english is a little bit tough,so u have 2 prepare for it by reading...novels,comprehensions etc..

take coaching from time institute. i think its the best institute for cat training.
i feel that reading just books is not enough to get a good score in cat but
going to some institution and undergoing will just remove some burden on you and also help you to build confidence so that you may feel that you can write something as u have undergone training. believe me it wil surely help you.
please give your frank feedback about my opinion

one thing i can suggest that first identify your strong areas and weak areas. work hard on weaker areas. there are three methods to solve any problem 1.apply formulae 2.shortcut 3. thinking logically and in cat we need to follow third method. when talking about vocabulary u need to first learn the root words so that you can approach to the exact meaning. by regularly using different new words in our conversation vocabulary can be build up. to calculate the neumerals very fast learn vedic maths

If you are interested to appear for CAT exams, Then you need hard work, to crack the CAT Entrance examination.

The CAT exams consists of Quantitative aptitude, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension and Data Interpretation. So, please work hard on these sections and purchase best books for CAT exams from the book stores.

The CAT Exams was not easy, you need lots of practice for this exams.

So, please solve questions daily and try to clear your basics first, after completing all the section completely, then try to solve previous year papers of CAT exams.

The more papers you solve, the more you will get, you will be able to attempt all the questions in CAT exams And also solve crossword and sudoku puzzles every day as this will improve your accuracy and aptitude and it helps to build your confidence.

The thing you need to do is you need to know all english words.
And practice them in different ways.
And als reading the passage very quickly is most important but as time wont be sufficient theres no need to read the whole passage .You just need to skim over the passage .
Means you need to read 2 lines starting and ending of each passage and go to passage according to the question.

CAT stands for Common Admission Test. It is the most popular MBA Entrance Test and each year lacs of MBA aspirants gives this exam. It is conducted by the one of the most prestigious MBA Institute in India- the IIM's. Every year in the month of November this exam takes place.

For giving CAT you need to be a graduate first since MBA is a post graduation degree. So you need to get a bachelor's degree in any discipline of your choice from a recognized university.

You need to score at least 50% of marks in aggregate if you are a general category candidate. For the SC/ST/PWD Candidates the percentage to secure is 45% of marks in aggregate.

Final year students who are awaiting the result of their final year exam or is in the final year of their degree and about to sit for their final exam then also they can give this exam. However at the time of admission they need to show proof that they have passed.

Exam Pattern:-

1. Total Time Limit:- 70 mins (for each section)
2. Total Number of Questions:- 30 questions (from each section)
3. Reading Time: 15 minutes

In the written exam there will be two sections to answer:

• Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation
• Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning

Tips To Crack CAT Exam:-

• Firstly, what you need to know is that there is no shortcut to success. So practice is the key to success here. There will be cut-throat competition and you need to be well-equipped to beat that.
  
• Without getting worked up first of all try to get the hang of the syllabus and exam pattern. Then find out which are the sections according to you which needs special attention. Basically work out in your mind the areas which are your strengths and the areas which are your weaknesses.
  
• We often have this habit of giving more importance to the areas of interest and thus ignore the ones which seems difficult at hindsight. This will backfire you at the end. In these kind of exams you can't afford to be so choosy and selective. Even if some areas seems more time consuming, don't give up. Try to get to the root of it and things will become more easier.
  
• Every day try to stick to a routine and spread out your time evenly. Keep some time for revision as well. If possible every week sit with a model test paper and try to finish that within a limited time. This will help you to keep a check on your progress rate.
  
• If need be you can also take help from professionals who have been there and done it all. This can be any friend of yours or relatives who gave CAT earlier or some coaching institutes. Coaching institutes will be able to provide you with study materials which will prove to be beneficial in the long run.

Hope this helps :-> :->
