Prep tips
Short, practical notes on how to prep smarter — not just longer.
Most MBA entrance exams — CAT, MAH-CET, and others — evaluate you section by section, not just on total marks. A strong Quant score can't make up for a section you clear by luck — many institutes apply a minimum cutoff per section. Use the section-wise breakdown on every mock to find your weakest section early, and weight your next week of practice toward it instead of drilling what you're already good at.
Decide, before the timer starts, how many minutes each section gets — and stick to it even if you're not done. Students who lose the most marks usually aren't weak on content; they run out of time on a section they were strong in because an earlier section ran long. Check your time-per-question analysis after each mock to see exactly where your pacing breaks down.
On your first pass through a section, answer only the questions you're confident about and can solve in under 60–90 seconds. Mark anything that needs more thought and come back in a second pass with whatever time is left. This protects your accuracy on easy marks instead of losing them to a single hard question early on.
It's tempting to only review questions you got wrong, but the explanation for a question you guessed correctly often reveals a faster method than the one you used. Go through the full answer review after every test, correct and incorrect, and note any solving approach that's quicker than yours.
One mock test score can swing a lot based on which questions you happened to know. What actually predicts your performance on exam day is your percentile trend across several tests. Take mocks consistently and watch the trend line, not any single result.
Put these into practice on your next mock test.
