CAT 2024 Last-Minute Tips to Boost Your Exam Performance
Here are 10 last-minute tips to get you ready for the big day to perform at your best on the D-day.
> Check the revised CAT exam pattern: As per CAT 2024 sample paper, major changes have been observed in the DILR section. Such changes have been seen in past papers as well, but the actual paper remained the same. So be prepared for the same.
> Avoid Learning Anything New: Focus on revising and strengthening what you already know rather than trying to learn any new concepts or formulas.
> Review Important Formulas and Shortcuts: Quickly go through your formula sheet, key concepts, and common question types.
> Review Shortcuts and Tricks: Brush up on shortcuts or tricks that you have learned to solve problems quickly, particularly for quantitative ability.
> Get a Good Night’s Sleep: Do not engage in any late-night cramming, and have a good sleep of at least 7-8 hours the day before the exam so that you wake up refreshed.
> Arrive Early: Ensure that you arrive at the exam center at least 30 minutes before the allotted time to avoid anxiety and the last-minute rush. Familiarize yourself with the venue prior to the exam in order to save yourself from any unforeseen hassles.
> Important Documents & IDs: Do not forget to carry the necessary documents with you on exam day, such as your CAT admit card, photographs, and ID proofs, as candidates will not be allowed to enter the exam hall without these documents.
> Stay Hydrated and Eat Healthy: Avoid eating heavy or junk food a week prior to the exam, as that might make you feel lethargic. Drink enough water to keep yourself hydrated and energized.
> Effective time management during the exam: Keep a track of the time spent on solving questions. Don't get stuck on a single question if it takes too much time. Move ahead to the next question for the time being and come back to that particular question later if there is still enough time left for it.
> Believe In Yourself: You have prepared well and worked hard for this. Just trust your instincts and yourself and give it your best!
