🎯 Prep Strategy & Exam Updates

Just started CAT prep. For VARC, I’ve got Gejo’s material from Telegram, for LRDI I’m following Elite Grid from Telegram, and for Quant I’m following Sarvesh K Verma’s book. I can give around 8 hours daily to prep. My current plan is: * **August (next 10 days):** Cover a major chunk of the theory and syllabus. * **September:** Focus on PYQs and learn from my mistakes. * **October:** Mocks + practice, with revision wherever needed. Although, I don’t think CAT is really the kind of exam where traditional revision is that important. * **November:** Mostly mocks and PYQs. Would you suggest any changes to this plan, especially considering I have 8 hours a day? Any tips on how I should structure my preparation or prioritise the three sections?

well.. you haven't given me the most important detail beta - what is your background? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Are you an engineer and are you comfortable with Maths? Also, how many books (not course books) have you read in the last couple of years?

2nd Gen IIT, 2024 passout. I’m comfortable with Maths, so I don’t expect Quant to be a major issue. English/VARC is definitely my weaker area. I’ve tried reading a couple of books over the past few years, but unfortunately haven’t completed any of them. I haven’t attempted CAT before, so I’m still trying to get a sense of my actual strengths and weaknesses across the three sections.
