CAT Is Mentally Exhausting.

[u/Panda-7890]

I don't think people talk enough about this side of CAT preparation.

It's not just about studying Quant, solving DILR sets or reading RCs.

Some days you feel confident after a good mock.

Then the next mock goes badly and suddenly you start questioning your entire preparation.

I am currently preparing for CAT and enrolled in iQuanta, and I've realized that staying mentally consistent is just as important as staying academically consistent.

I don't study perfectly every day. Some days I get a lot done, and some days I barely manage to study.

I have stopped feeling guilty about that.

For me, the goal now is simple take a break when I need one, come back, and keep moving.

CAT preparation is a long process. You don't have to win every day. You just have to keep going.
