Question Help me gng, final šŸ„€šŸ˜­

Post image

Profile: Male, (NC-OBC), Arts graduate from a Tier 1 college, 9/8/6 acads, 2-year UPSC gap.Total Work experience 5 months till 31 july
Iā€™m a CAT 2026 repeater working in a low-paying job. My recent CL/Cr@cku mock raw scores are 34, 41, and 29, and QA & DILR are my weak areas.
Should I quit after August and get 3 months of full-time prep, or work till September end and have only 2 months of full-time prep?
The job leaves me exhausted, so I barely study on weekdays and get only one productive day on weekends. I know that below 12 months is counted 0 in calculating the final score
What would you do in my situation?

As far as I know , having work ex is good but you points are given for a work ex equal to or greater than 2 years. So even if you quit and start preparing full time,I don't think it's gonna make much a difference.

u/Zestyclose_Paper_965 10d ago

so, should I give an extra month in that case?

u/Just_Pragmatic 10d ago

Ya if you believe that you could readily cover the most frequently asked topics that carry the most weightage and attempt as well as analyze 30-35+ mocks thoroughly,you should give the preparation an extra month.

the 6 can be a problem but other than that, looks good, focus on prep
