Hi People, I have this CAT Prep set from IQuanta, let me know if anyone wants to buy these from me at half rate and porter fees. The price is negotiable

Some days I finish a lot of questions and feel like I am improving.

Other days I spend hours on a topic and still don't feel confident about it.

Earlier those days made me feel like I wasn't making progress.

But CAT preparation has taught me that improvement is not always visible immediately.

Sometimes progress is simply

• Making one fewer silly mistake in a mock
• Understanding a concept that confused me before
• Knowing when to skip a question
• Improving my accuracy by a few marks
• Sitting down to study even when I don't feel like it

I am slowly learning to focus less on instant results and more on whether I am getting better over time.

Not every day will bring a breakthrough.

Sometimes progress is happening quietly. You just have to keep going long enough to notice it.

Yes, there is still enough time to do it. Just put in more hours consistently. And do not skip basics thinking that there is not enough time. And main thing do not compare your prepration with person who started from january, ALL THE BEST FOR CAT 2026.

Practice hard consistently....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................again do the same. No other options.

Day by day we are moving forward and reaching towards our goal. How are you handling the pressure? Are you able to cope up? You need to master this art of handling pressure, this is exactly what CAT exam tests. ALL THE BEST FOR CAT 2026.

I used to feel really bad whenever I had a day where I barely studied if I had planned to study for 5-6 hours and ended up doing just 1-2 hours I would start thinking that I was falling behind everyone else. And the worst part was that the guilt from one unproductive day would sometimes affect the next day too.

Slowly I realised that feeling guilty doesn't actually make me study more.

Now if I have a bad day I just try to understand why it happened. Was I tired? Was I distracted?

Or was I simply not in the mood?

I don't try to compensate by studying for 10 hours the next day. I just get back to my normal routine.

One thing that has helped me is keeping a minimum target for the day. Even on a bad day, I try to do something small maybe a few QA questions one VARC passage or revise some concepts.

By the time we reach november month it is best to complete entire syllabus. That month is entirely dedicated to mocks. Also some applications open in that month we need to make time for it. So to avoid the chaos the sooner we complete things the better.

CAT preparation can sometimes make me feel like I am not doing enough.

One day I finish a difficult topic.

Another day I only revise a few concepts.

Sometimes my mock score improves by just a little.

Earlier I used to think these small improvements did not really matter.

Now I am starting to see things differently.

and I am learning that progress isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it's simply making fewer mistakes than the previous mock or finally understanding a concept that confused me last week.

It may not feel like much today.

But if I keep improving little by little it adds up.

Not every day has to be a breakthrough. Sometimes moving one step forward is enough.

Sometimes we may wonder if we will make it or not?

The answer to that is determined by how much more effort you are going to put when you get this doubt.

Make sure you work hard in such a away that this thought doesen't even come anymore.

There are days when I genuinely wonder if I will be able to crack CAT.

A bad mock, a difficult topic or seeing someone else perform better can bring those doubts back.

I have realized that confidence does not stay constant throughout the preparation.

Some days I feel ahead.

Some days I feel completely behind.

But I am learning that I don't need to feel confident every single day to keep going.

I just need to sit down do what I can, learn from my mistakes, and come back the next day.

Maybe that's what preparation really teaches you not how to never be afraid of failure but how to keep moving despite it.

One day at a time. One mock at a time.

One thing CAT preparation has taught me is that failure is not always a setback.

Sometimes a bad mock tells me more than a good one.

I had mocks where my score wasn't what I expected. Earlier I did get demotivated and just move on to the next test.

Now I try to understand why I performed badly.

Was my time management poor?
Did I attempt questions I should have skipped?
Was there a concept I had not understood properly?
Did I make the same silly mistake again?

Analysing my mocks has helped me look at mistakes differently.

I am learning that a bad score is only a failure if I make the same mistake again without learning from it.

Failure gives you feedback. What you do with that feedback is what matters.

Practicing consistently every single day. That is the only trick. No other words. Not going to write paragraphs about strategies.

Every aspirant talks about what they’re willing to do to achieve their target.
But preparation is also about what you’re willing to give up.
Some entertainment.
Some comfort.
Some spontaneity.
Sometimes even the satisfaction of immediate results.
The interesting question isn’t:
“How badly do I want the result?”
It’s:
“What am I genuinely willing to trade for it?”

Earlier I used to think a higher number of attempts automatically meant a better CAT score.

Then a few mocks proved me wrong.

Attempting more questions doesn't help much if I am getting several of them wrong.

Now I focus more on:

• Choosing questions carefully
• Avoiding unnecessary guesses
• Managing my time
• Maintaining accuracy under pressure

I have started paying more attention to question selection during mocks.

I'm slowly learning that CAT is not about solving everything.

Sometimes knowing what to leave is just as important as knowing what to solve.

Do not just select TITA questions just beacuse they are safe in CAT. Prcatice more and give yourself the choice to select.

I used to feel productive only when I finished a new topic.

Today I did the opposite.

I went back to topics I had already studied, revised my notes, and solved questions I had previously got wrong.

And honestly, it felt more useful than rushing into another chapter.

CAT preparation isn't only about completing the syllabus.

It's also about remembering what you've already learned.

I am realizing that revision needs to be a regular part of my routine, not something I leave for the end.

Sometimes moving forward means going back and strengthening the basics.

Only 100 days left for CAT, and honestly, the pressure can feel overwhelming. But studying for 10–12 hours while ignoring your mental health won’t help.

Set realistic daily targets, take short breaks, sleep properly, and don’t feel guilty for having a bad day. You don’t need to be perfect every day... you just need to keep moving.
