Self-evaluation will help:

After preparing for each paper in CAT and even after preparing for each chapter, a candidate should evaluate his/her knowledge on the chapter. He/she should check whether it is possible to answer all questions in the chapter. Here, previous years questions papers will help with self-evaluation.

Right study material:

Expert authors like Nishit Sinha, Sarvesh Verma and Arun Sharma have written great books mainly to help candidates opting for self-preparation for CAT examination.

Early bird reaches the nest:

Mr Mukesh suggests that candidates aspiring to score well in CAT to get admission to one of the top management colleges should start the preparation early. When the preparation is started early, it will be easier to slowly and steadily go through each and every chapter. Also, starting early will help candidates to get more time for revision before the test as well.

Motivation and Confidence:

These are the biggest things that can help any candidate. When some people can gain self-motivation, some need an external motivation. For them, it is better to talk to expert career counsellors like Mr Mukesh, who will guide students by explaining the career options available on successful completion of MBA.

With the right preparation and the right guidance, belling the CAT is something easier. Dedicated preparation is, of course, important.
