Q. What was the change in your prep strategy during last 30 days to CAT?
My preparation stage lasted from August to October. In the last month Max Domi Jersey , that is October I made it a point to revise each and every concept studied for last 2 months. The strategy was to strengthen topics which I already knew and not be worried about questions which I didn’t know to solve.

Q. Did you expect to get this much percentile after your CAT? How did you evaluate yourself on the basis of your mock test scores before CAT?
Frankly speaking, this was the last time (4th time) I was writing CAT. I had given around 30 mocks which I did carefully analyze. However, I never hit a 99 in any of my mocks. The pressure was on me since I had quit my job to take a break and prepare whole-heartedly for CAT. I made it a point; I wouldn’t do random guessing for the mocks. I benchmarked myself on the different sections. I build on my strength areas and stayed confident with that.

Q. How did you prepare yourself a day before the D-day (your CAT Test day)?
I started relaxing 4-5 days before the exam. A day before the D-Day I went onto watch a movie met some friends and put myself to sleep quite early. I also made sure the food that I ate was right Richard Panik Jersey , because I didn’t have home food as I was staying away from home to write the exam. Read More
