See, I may not be a YouTube influencer. I cant boast of a million subscribers on Instagram.

But what I can tell is my viewpoint from around a decade of MNC, MBA and being where you were once.

I can assure you that iss point pe, honestly, feeling a fatigue is kind of be expected

ab na bas si ho jaati hai. You have strong for far too long. You have, hopefully, been studying rigorously for far too loong

Ab nahin ho raha. Now you feel exhausted when you look at another question.

Which is why I had mentioned that "nothing but chill for the last two days"

keep yourself busy these last days, light revision and thats it

Go for a walk. Listen to good music - Be it Honey Singh or Arijit Singh. Water your plants. "Netflix and chill".

Mentally Prime yourself to ace the exam that day! Visualise your success!! Imagine yourself having a gala time during the exam!!!

Dont give up now.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep.

And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Based on the past pattern, these are the question varieties that I would definitely recommend you to do before the exam

I am not saying that these exact questions would come, but these questions and their variants have appeared on and off.

Absolute last set of questions from my end!

PS: I will update the solutions end of day tonight.

With mere hours away, I am sure that the CAT 😺 seems more like a lion🦁.

The only mantra from my side is to remind you to keep a cool and calm mind before the exam.

Spend first 5 minutes in view question paper option to go through section.

Identify 10 easy questions in your favorite area, spend next 15 to 20 mins in marking with 100% accuracy.

Rest of the time in questions that you might be able to do.

Last couple of minutes of each section to guess all TITA questions

Finally, don't let problems in one set hamper the next one.

Before I end, let’s also acknowledge an uncontrollable factor, LUCK.

Make no mistake - This is just an exam. There are ton of different options. Life continues as usual. Don't idolize the exam and focus on your career in the long-term.

This is just one very small part of your life. 

It's ok to try again till you succeed

Do remember if plan A fails, well, there are 25 other alphabets.

Good Evening everyone!

Rejoice for CAT is finally over.

Over the next 24 to 48 hours you will receive various analyses, YouTube videos, notifications, possible answers answers keys and what not!

None of that matter. Post mortem of today's test isn't really going to be helpful.

I understand today's exhaustion. Take today's reprieve.

Plan to start GK and Non CAT reasoning.

Focus on your next exams NMAT, SNAP, XAT and MICAT.

Sutra for tonight.

Recharge. Recuperate. Rejuvenate.

And Resume from tomorrow.

Official Synopsis of the three slots

Don't worry about questions and their solutions

By this time next week, you will have them all because official response sheets will be out

Then some institute will give you full solutions

I am not going to go into yesterday exam post-mortem. I am not going to go into the solutions for XYZ question and I would suggest that you don't, either.

Because I firmly believe that the only thing from yesterday, which will help me tomorrow, will be the learnings that I gain from it. The image is a Compilation of learnings from CAT 2023.

My advice: Don't look at solutions, analyses and response sheet (Which is typically released in a weeks time) till the time you are done with the exams

Just remembered my yesterday dream

A question on factors came after such a long time

AND Sucky LR sets

Find the %age of red in the bigger square

PLEASE HIDE with a spoiler

I strongly feel that by Mid December you guys should start focussing on your GD/PI preparation

Regardless of whatever percentile or score you might have, start preparing diligently 💯 for your GDPI process

Whatever calls you do receive, make sure to attend the GDPI process. Even if you don't convert, it would be a good practice for the next attempt!!
