How to take advantage of your CAT coaching?

As you put your focus on the CAT-21, you need to be making some serious decisions here. You have more than enough time in your hands, and instead of wasting it you should start deliberating on how to prepare for CAT?

Mostly students prefer the former option as you need to be extremely disciplined and methodical about your CAT preparation, something that gets done better in a disciplined and guided environment with a faculty having considerable experience of nurturing students for the big day.

However, just going to the classes and taking notes won't do, if you really want to make the difference then you need to learn how to maximize your learning from your institute. Yes, you will be put through a well-structured learning process and would also be getting valuable pointers from your faculty, but, with a little strategy, you could extract more than that.

What do you need to focus on?

You just need to focus on two core areas of your CAT exam preparation:

• As your training begins keep your focus on the strong areas that you possess. Your strength could be anything be it, the strong vocabulary that immediately gets you a head start or, your agility in Quant. Maybe you have good speed and your time management skills are excellent, regardless of your talent, you need to learn to play to your strength. During your coaching, you need to take advantage of your skills and keep on honing those skills further as these could clearly lead towards big scores. 
• Just like your strong areas, you also are weak in certain areas which are definitely going to put you in a challenging position. So, assess where your weaknesses lie, are you slow at reading or, is it the Quant? You have an excellent opportunity here to work on those skills, talk to your faculty members and get the opportunity and guidance to work on the problem areas so, that you can improve.

You have the time, you have the opportunity to win the race, just stay focused and chose your institute well. If you want to learn more, check out the full blog at:
