Strategic Revision Plan for the Final Month
With CAT 2025 approaching on November 30, candidates should implement a structured three-week revision strategy. The first week should focus on sectional practice for Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Aptitude (QA), dedicating about 40 minutes to each section daily. In the second week, shift to full-length mixed-section mock tests to build stamina and identify weak areas that need attention. The final week should concentrate on high-yield topics, speed improvement drills, and finalizing exam strategy rather than attempting to cover the entire syllabus.
Practical Preparation Tips and Exam Updates
Candidates should note that admit cards and mock tests will be available on iimcat.ac.in from November 12. Based on previous patterns, expect VARC to be easy to moderate, while DILR and QA sections may be moderate to difficult with lengthier questions. Rather than broad coverage, focus on high-weightage topics in each section. Maintain consistent sleep patterns and proper nutrition alongside regular mock test practice. The exam will be conducted in three shifts across 170 test cities by IIM Kozhikode. Prioritize analyzing mock test performance to identify and address specific weaknesses in the limited time remaining.
