CAT 2024: Common mistakes to avoid during exam preparation
We all have equal chances to get into an IIM provided we prepare well for CAT. These sections are: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension - 24 questions Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning - 20 questions Quantitative Ability - 22 questions Supratim Chakraborty, Senior Faculty, T.I.M.E Education has shared the list of common mistakes to avoid during CAT preparation: MISTAKES TO AVOID WHILE PREPARING FOR THE VARC SECTION We sometimes are misled by the section as a test of vocabulary. But the verbal ability and reading comprehension section tests you on how well you can understand and analyse the information that is given to you in the form of passages, paragraphs or jumbled sentences. MISTAKES TO AVOID WHILE PREPARING FOR THE QA SECTION It is a common misconception that CAT is a math-heavy paper and that non-engineers will find it very difficult to score well in the exam. Anxiety about more abstruse topics like permutations and combinations, probability, and numbers prevent test-takers from scoring well in questions based on the aforementioned simpler topics.
