How to Prepare for the CAT (Strategy)

For any new person taking up the CAT preparation, there is always a lot of tips scattered in different articles and coaching sites. However, it gets a little confusing for a new guy to choose the best way to go about it.

Having been in the CAT coaching field for a long time now, I myself have faced difficulties and confusions regarding the best ways to prepare for the exam.

So, this is an attempt from my side to combine and consolidate everything into a four part series for CAT exam preparation, followed by two parts on GD/WAT and Interview preparations for the IIMs and top B-Schools.

Attack on the wild feline (CAT) consists of three steps:
CAT exam
Maths, English & DI/LR
GD/WAT
Written Test
Interview
------

Initially, we will begin with the four part series on CAT exam preparation.

Part I: Understanding the mindset of the enemy (CAT)
Part II: The weapons required to defeat the enemy (books, tests series, other fodder material)
Part III: How to use these weapons most effectively to defeat the enemy
Part IV: D-Day performance and exam temperament

Stay tuned to us. We will be shortly coming out with the four parts of strategy one by one, very soon.
