Start your day early and reach the test centre on time. If you are late, you will invariably be in anxiety coupled with the common exam stress.

Don’t waste time after the exam starts: As CAT 2012 is a timed test, you should be absolutely bang on time. Don’t waste even a minute after the timer starts. You will have 70 minutes for 30 questions in each section. You have to make the best utilization of the 70 minutes, so concentrate fully and try to utilize each minute of the exam duration.

Tips For CAT, How to overcome your weakness

There are only few days left for CAT 2012 to begin. With the clock ticking faster than ever. Notwithstanding rigorous preparation, you are bound to have some weaknesses. You still have a good one week to the exam, and since many of you have chosen the middle slot or the one towards the end, you have enough time left to neutralize the weaknesses.

Identify your areas of weakness first. It often happens that in spite of being weak, you perform well in some areas during mock tests out of mere fluke or coincidence. In such cases, consider these as weak areas.

You need to find out the reasons behind your weaknesses. Once you identify them, it would be easier to tackle them. Tony Xavier, head of academics, IMS Learning, describes some of the probable reasons.
