How did you manage to balance your leisure and study time?

Meet: I did not have any proper study schedule during my CAT preparation. I studied whenever I felt like and took enough breaks in between to relax my mind. I think nobody should study for more than 3 hours at a stretch. taking breaks in between studies also helps to improve concentration.

How was the whole CAT 2017 experience for you, right from the preparation to the result?

Meet: It was a wonderful experience. the CA course that I took up was very much learning oriented. Despite of securing an All India Rank, I didn’t enjoy studying CA. On the other hand, preparing for CAT was always fun, I enjoyed preparing for all the sections and since my focus was to score a 100 percentile from the beginning, I was determined to work as hard as possible.

What do you aspire to be in the future?

After my MBA, I’ll join business directly. My family is into business and that is what I aspire to do as well.

Would you like to give any tips and suggestion for the future CAT aspirants?

Yes, I think people who want to give CAT tend to study a lot. Also, many of them are afraid of the vocabulary part and they resort of flashcard reading. I personally feel, it is a waste of time because when you try to learn too many new words everyday, it muddles up your mind. I’d rather suggest people to learn from content and have a proper strategy in place for every section. People should also stop looking for shortcuts to crack CAT, all the shortcut formulas and methods that are taught today are mere marketing gimmicks and they are really not helpful in real life.
