Yes, definitely, you can prepare for the CAT exam without opting for coaching. Many students are doing the same; however, this can only be successful if you have the zest and zeal, along with a dedicated mindset, to prepare for an entrance exam like CAT, which is known to be the most difficult MBA entrance exam without the expertise of a mentor. Not only that but finding the right resources and test preparation material among the plethora of material available online can be tough.
Thus, to ease your task, we have created Open CAT, where you can find all the required study material that is enough to give your CAT preparation a head start, all free of cost. You can start by accessing video lectures on various topics by expert mentors and testing yourself with topic-wise and full-length tests to keep track of your progress. You can even book mentorship slots in case you find yourself stuck at some point during your preparation journey. So, if you are serious about getting into a top B-school, stop worrying about such things and focus on your CAT preparation by fully utilizing the free CAT resources available on Open CAT.
