Ask any CAT topper about their success, and they’ll mention two key things—rigorous practice and consistency. But these are just the big-picture strategies. Many aspirants miss this point and waste time practicing easy, outdated, or irrelevant questions, thinking it will help them crack CAT. However, this approach is flawed.
First, understand this—CAT is an evolving exam in terms of question difficulty, structure, format, and concepts. To score 99.5+ percentile and secure a spot in your dream B-school, you must master every aspect of daily preparation.
Second, practice and consistency alone aren’t enough. There are five crucial aspects you need to focus on. These aren’t just theories—they are proven strategies shared by 500+ iQuanta CAT 2024 toppers who have used them for powerful preparation. Listen to learn what truly works to become a topper.
Preparation Schedule for CAT 25 Aspirants at iQuanta
Covering a Topic
Start from the basics. Covering basics will become easier for you if you have well-researched the syllabus, the latest exam pattern, and the exam structure. After some time and grabbing the concepts, go for moderate and hard questions.
At iQuanta, our toppers began with the Non-Engineering Quant Module, LRDI Essential Module, and Engineers’ VARC Module (100+ hours of video) available on their dashboard.
This allowed them to access both live and recorded sessions at their convenience, ensuring a more effective and efficient understanding of concepts.
Concept and Application Classes
Second, revise concepts deeply, understand their applications, and practice complex questions that test your ability to apply concepts creatively under time pressure.
At iQuanta, our toppers mastered concepts through Conceptual Live Stream Sessions and Application Live Sessions (dual pedagogy). In concept classes, you’ll learn new concepts daily to build a strong foundation. These are followed by application classes, where you’ll solve 20-25 unique questions from the same topic to test your understanding.
This dual approach ensures clarity in concepts and confidence in applying them under pressure, making you comfortable with the exam’s intensity.
With consistent dual pedagogy sessions, even an average aspirant can achieve significant improvement with focus and discipline.
