CAT 2025 Preparation Tips by Toppers

Familiarize yourself with the exam pattern first - sections (VARC, DILR, QA) and time limits.

Clarify concepts - build the basic strengths of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, along with reading comprehension.

Read regularly - newspapers, editorials, novel reading practice can help build your speed variants in VARC.

Practice DILR at regular intervals - every puzzle, caselet and dataset practiced can help improve speed and accuracy.

Do sectional tests - focus on one area, then move to take full-length mocks.

Take lots of mocks - analyze every mock to identify your weak areas and remediating them,

Work on time management - leave difficult questions and focus on accuracy above anything else.

Revise formulas and short cuts - maintain a separate mock book to do this in readiness for quick reference.

Stay consistent - you don't need to spend hours if you have the mindset and discipline to study 2-3 hours per day often will make a massive difference.

Also stay calm and confident - the very best toppers reiterate that your state of mind is just as important as your preparation.
