required time to spend studying for the CAT, MAT and CMAT qualification

examination. Identify whether you have the required time and zeal to learn could

help a person understand their future targets with regard to the examination. There

is no point in trying to attend the entrance examination if your objectives are not

clear.

required. Study material plays a major role of increasing your chances of success.

could be stored on appropriate devices for later usage or printed on paper and

accumulate as much material as possible. Learn and use independent methods of self

study, avoid following guide and study tips that propose certain methods. Research

shows each individual has their own way of learning and a student should learn or

identify their own before attempting CAT, MAT and CMAT as this increases chances

of cracking the examination.

Identify your weaknesses before others identify them; only after one understands

what problem they face they will be able to make the required changes. Waiting for

tutor to identify your weaknesses only demoralize a student.

Take mock tests on your own and keep to the allotted time, no need to attend

couching classes as these will only provide short time solution. One could attend a

mock test at a training center after they have gather confidence in the CAT, MAT or

CMAT practice papers they have done.

Avoid anxiety as this has been noted to be the biggest reason many students are

able to clear the examination. Stress clouds a student’s mind and if you have stress

problems one needs to return to the first stage and begin by clearing anxiety

problems that could result in not passing CAT, MAT and CMAT examinations.
