A genuine advice to all test givers - My 2 cents rest is your call

Don't run after new material now. Make peace with whatever material you have

Don't think ki mein yeh bhi kar loon and woh bhi

Whatever you have done so far, and what ever material you have referred to so far; use it well

Focus on your mocks and its analyses

Focus on finding your Problem Areas and Golden Tickets

Consolidate your learnings at one and in one compendium - Your own, personal legacy of sorts

Sunk cost fallacy

Tendency to continue doing something even if it's not working out, because we've already invested so much

Ex: Keeping on attempting a question even if we don't know how to, just because we have already spent 1 minute on it

Wouldn't you be better off quitting and starting something else?

Secret option in mocks

There is an option in each of your mock or sectional tests to view the entire section at one go.

If you click on that option, you can look at the entire section in one go and identify which are the easier Questions or Sets or RCs that you would like to attempt first.

This should help you make a better strategy.

Happy preparations to all 😁😁

PS: This option is available in actual CAT as well...

There is a "famous" CAT "mentor" who recently posted a message

I felt something was off about the way it was worded so I put it through AI detector - 86% AI generated

It is one thing to use AI to help you frame better - Another to just blatantly Copy Paste

tut! tut!

Give it your best shot and hope that it turns out into something beautiful.

And that's all you can do. कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
