Bell the CAT 2019

Now, these days are the most nail-biting ones when the adrenaline rush is there. CAT '19 is just two weeks ahead. It is the most crucial stage when students put their best efforts to gain an advantage over others. CAT is one of the most difficult entrance exams where many students put their best efforts over the years in the race of getting admissions in top B-school.
Now I am hoping your preparation would be running at full pace but you should really keep a few things in mind. CAT, unlike other exams, is not about just hard labor but also acting smartly. It's those three hours which decide how you are going to fare. So, instead of becoming nervous its time to act wisely.
Now let me tell you plans for these 15 days and for the exam which I followed, I hope it would work for you. In these 15 days don't give too many mocks , just one or two is fine instead start focusing on your weak areas where you are actually lagging. Start analyzing your past mock papers and try to figure out how it can be improved. Focus on gathering all the info and concepts which you have gained earlier, for it happens that we keep taking tests and analyzing that and stop focusing on gathering concepts.
Now what I have seen over the past four years of my CAT experience, Verbal is going to be easy to moderate. Just learn the technique of option eliminations. Many questions of RC can easily be solved by eliminating options. Summary and odd one out questions are doable but try to avoid para jumbles. As there is no negative marking for verbal ability, just leave it for last. RC plays the main role in determining the scores.
If we talk about Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, the maximum probability is that it would be moderate to difficult. About 3 to 4 sets would be doable ones and rest would be either tricky or difficult. Just skim through the paper and don't waste more than 3 minutes on any set. If you are able to crack it within 3 minutes then it's fine otherwise leave it for there are maximum chances that it is a trap. Just focus on 3 easy sets which would be asked definitely. Start practicing previous year papers which are available of the last 3 years also, since they have started releasing it now. It would be enough to excel in this section.
Now the third section is Quantitative Ability which is the favorite section for engineers. Now last year questions were quite difficult but if you are clear with your basics then this section won't be a problem at all. Just revise all the old questions you have done and solve the previous year's questions, you would definitely start feeling confident.
These are the last moments so just don't take too much stress and focus on your basics, you will surely excel in the exam. Best wishes for CAT ' 19 :)
