Are 100 days enough to prepare for the toughest exam in
India?
Yes. Instead of giving a roundabout answer and an
explanation, I thought that the best way to address the question is by giving
the right answer. And yes, the answer to the above question is that 100 days
are more than sufficient to prepare and ace the CAT exam. However, it does
not matter if I think so, as long as the student does not think so.
CAT is an aptitude based exam and improves one aptitude is a
matter of practice. 100 days is enough 150 would have been better 300 is even
better.
But the truth is that June/July is the time when almost 95%
of the students writing CAT start the preparation for it in right earnest. Most
institutes start their Mock CAT series around this time only. The key, however,
is to utilize these 15 odd weeks that exist and not waste (lose) as you may
have done for the past few weeks and months.
First and foremost, you have to understand that CAT is not any
insurmountable hurdle to get into the IIMs. The exam has very
simple areas some of which have been done as far back as 8th, 9th and 10th
classes. Of course, the fact that these areas have been done a long while ago
may also be a cause for your concern. Second, with a systematic preparation,
CAT can be probably one of the easiest exams to crack.
