CAT 2025 240 Days Detail Strategy
1st April to 20th April 2025
VARC: Start with one Reading Comprehension (RC) set daily. Begin with basic sets from various genres, available on websites like iQuanta, which offers over 250 articles.
If you’re wondering why you’re not starting with general reading, as many recommend, remember that such habits take time to build the specific skills needed for RCs. First, focus on improving your reading speed and getting comfortable with different genres. This will help you familiarize yourself with RC structures, basic vocabulary, and identifying the main argument.
DILR: Start with one Logical Reasoning set daily. Logical Reasoning (LR) is the foundation on which effective DILR preparation is built.
You can check out the iQuanta DILR playlist on YouTube, which includes many sets across different genres and difficulty levels. DILR is all about practice—once you understand the basic concepts, consistent practice will help you improve steadily.
Quants: Start with the Number System. Unlike Arithmetic, the Number System should be your priority for now to learn about basic number terminology and faster calculation that will help you further. Solve 15 questions daily of different difficulty levels apart from classes you’re taking.
The iQuanta CAT 2025 batch has already started with the Number System, and with a new batch launch approaching, you can still begin your preparation at full throttle—receiving complete attention and guidance from iQuanta.
The first 21 days might feel challenging, but they will help you build a consistent habit of daily practice and revision.
21st April to 30th May 2025
VARC: Now, it’s time to level up–start with two RC sets daily and practice Verbal Ability (VA) for 30 minutes.
Since you’re now comfortable with reading CAT-level RCs, the next step is to practice two RCs within a time limit. This will enhance both your speed and comprehension skills for solving questions. Practicing Verbal Ability also sharpens your problem-solving and critical reasoning abilities.
iQuanta’s VARC preparation follows a similar approach. By this stage, our top faculty share various RC tips and strategies with aspirants. If you’re considering enrolling in a course, this is the right time to decide, as seats are filling up and not much time will be left.
DILR: Start with two DILR sets daily. One set focuses on logical reasoning, while the other is devoted to data interpretation. Try to solve in a time limit too for building familiarity to exam pressure and fast thinking.
Quants: Start with Arithmetic. The most important aspect of the Quants syllabus and most scoring. Practice 30 questions daily apart from practice in regular classes.
iQuanta’s dual pedagogy classes follow a structured approach. First, aspirants learn Quant concepts in a 2-hour concept class, followed by an application class in another 2-hour class focused on practicing CAT-level questions, with a break in between.

CAT Mock Strategy
You should take at least one mock test per week in July and two mock tests per week in August so that you can become familiar with the real exam environment and improve in weak areas, plus more detailed analysis of your hard work right now.
Once you are done with the syllabus, you can start taking even 3 mocks in a week. Moreover, you can opt for iQuanta CAT mock test series, which is India’s first AI-based mock-taking platform. Keep analyzing your mocks and the revised topics you’ve covered earlier.
September to Number 2025
From September to the start of November, your first priority should be taking mocks, analyzing them, and constant revision throughout this duration.
From November, you are recommended to stop taking Mocks and start focusing on revision and practicing more difficult questions.
Lastly, you must remember that you are taking ample breaks to relax your mind with no social media and distractions. You must remain focused and calm.
Because your focus should be on entering the examination hall with confidence that you are going to score 99+ percentile, which we believe you definitely can and score a 99+ percentile in CAT 2025.Â
