Thankyou So Much Sir. I Got (31 Marks) 76.33%ile in CAT 2023 Overall. VARC- 85.75%ile QUANT- 88.80%ile DILR-10.78%ile(Messed Up). This year i started giving mocks in May and started getting arund 40-45 Marks Overall In 2 mocks. But in DILR sometimes able to solve 1 Sets and sometimes 0 Sets. Till now covered 130 DILR Sets(45-50by myself) till now. Targetting 600 More(250 Pyq DILR Sets). Am i going in right direction?
Hi Shashikant, I see this as more of a mental block than a physical incapability considering your percentiles in the other two sections. You are on the right track and through mock taking and solving past CAT sets, I’m sure you will grow in terms of confidence as the season progresses. All the best!
I’ll try to make a detailed video on this. Any of the popular publications are good enough though for practice questions. You can look at books by either Arun Sharma and Nishit Sinha for all three sections. Specifically for quant, Sarvesh Verma is decent and for verbal you can try out Sujit Kumar’s book (it is slightly old but pretty relevant). All the books are not very expensive but you can check with your friends/seniors for older versions. The content doesn't change by a lot year on year. For past papers, you can go for any of the publications available. They are similar, more or less. Also, we would be covering all the past CAT questions on the channel across sections. That should help as well.
Hello sir, I started preparing for cat 2024 a year ago and I started giving mocks from April, but my scores are really pathetic. In one mock I got a score of 5 and in another mock that number was 6. the highest score I got was 22. Even after practicing everyday I am not able to perform well in the mocks. And because of this disappointment I am not able to follow my daily study schedule. Can you please tell me if it's possible for me to improve my scores at this stage? and if yes, how? please guide me.
Of course it is possible to score higher and is perfectly natural to not be able to score freely in the first few mocks. I think the pace at which you have been preparing (assuming 1 hour of daily prep on an average for the last one year) is something that’s creating this inertia. Once you are comfortable with the increased pace, you should be okay. At this point in time, just ask yourself these questions: 1. Did I select the right questions? Or did I get stuck doing something that I should have skipped? If yes, then which parameters did I overlook while selecting 2. Was I able to understand the question in the first go? Or did I have to re-read and re-solve the question multiple times? If yes, where is it that I could have done a better job - should I read it more carefully or solve it without rushing? 3. Am I tuned in throughout the test? Or are there emotional crests and troughs that are bothering me? I think you can address these issues and be ruthless with question selection in the next mock. That should help a bit. Of course, if content is an issue then that would need separate attention as well.
Can't promise but we might do a material giveaway sometime in the coming couple of months. For now, you can purchase any of the publications that I have mentioned in the other reply.
That’s quite a bit of effort that you are putting in. If you are able to broadly remember the logic for each and every set that you go through then you should be able to solve at least 2 or even 3 sets at the CAT
Sir please start a lrdi course , struggling a lot with lrdi... please start a paid course that will be more structured and build our logical ability in next 2-3 months.
