Feeling underconfident to face CAT 2024
I am a 26F, 3yoe in advertising and marketing. I'm tired of being in agency side and serving the brand. I wanted to shift to brand side for that I'm planning to give CAT and get an MBA from IIMs. To be honest I feel super underconfident to give a try. I am disappointed with myself and throwing a lot of self hate for this attitude towards my preparation. Anyone who has cracked CAT could teach me how to overcome this would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Practice mocks during the exam's exact slot hours on Sundays (maybe Saturdays too) Block those hours in your calendar.
The brain kind of gets used to the rhythm/momentum and you actually don't get as stressed when you go for the real thing.
Gave CAT twice ! Can share few pointers : -Revise basic maths topics like Algebra/Geometry and Arithmetic. -Start Giving 1 Mock test every weekend, and do analyse each and every question, even if you score very less in mock doesn’t matter. Give mock very seriously like you are giving actual CAT. -Read one newspaper every day for like 30mins. The Hindu can help -Read articles of different domain like art/psychology/History/Sociology etc once in while -Read business articles daily, can start with business newspaper as well.
You have sufficient to prepare for CAT, u can start with the above steps and follow it for around 2 months. After 2 months you would have given around 7 mocks and if you have followed the above process seriously then you would be in a much better position to gauge your progress and make plan for next 3 months.
Thanks a lot. It helps! Any recommendations on which platform’s mocks to try on??
You can buy TIME mock test series, its good.
I have not appeared for CAT. But can give guidance based on your inner fear. Feel free to DM if you need any help. Good luck.
Thanks but really looking forward to hear from someone who cracked CAT to navigate through my anxiety :)

Given that you are not a GEF, you would be able to crack it easily. I also cracked it being a GEM @HustleCroc
