I think this is a good time to start taking mocks. Even though I haven't completed my syllabus yet, I've decided to at least begin with sectional mocks. Waiting for a "perfect" time might only delay the learning. Every mock will help me understand my weak areas, improve my speed, and prepare better for the actual exam.

1. Master Percentages before starting Profit & Loss they're the foundation of almost every question.

2. Understand the concepts of Cost Price (CP), Selling Price (SP), Profit, and Loss instead of just memorizing formulas.

3. Learn common fraction-to-percentage conversions to speed up calculations.

4. Practice questions on Discount, Marked Price, and Successive Discounts regularly.

5. Improve your mental calculation speed to save time during the exam.

6. Solve the same question using different methods and identify the quickest approach.

7. Maintain an error log and revise your mistakes they're your best learning resource.

8. Practice with a timer because in CAT, speed with accuracy makes all the difference.

Which part of Profit & Loss do you find the toughest concepts, calculations, or lengthy questions? 👇

1. Focus on understanding efficiency, not just formulas.
2. Use the LCM method to make calculations easier.
3. Convert workers' efficiency into work/day before solving.
4. Practice questions involving multiple people, pipes & cisterns.
5. Don't ignore negative work (like leaks or workers leaving).
6. Improve your calculation speed it makes a huge difference.
7. Solve a mix of easy, moderate, and CAT-level questions.
8. Analyze every mistake and learn a better approach.

Master the concept first, and Time & Work can become one of your strongest Quant topics.

Which Quant topic should I cover next? 👇

150 days Sounds like a lot... until you realise how quickly one day turns into one week.

There are still chapters to finish, mocks to attempt, mistakes to fix, and self-doubt to overcome. But there's also enough time to improve if I keep showing up every single day.

I'm not aiming for perfection over the next 150 days. I'm aiming for consistency.

On 29th November, I don't want to wonder, "What if I had studied a little more?"

Day 1 of the final 150-day countdown starts today. 

Who's in for this journey till the end? 

Today’s practice was just quant again. i had planned to cover DILR & VARC too but somehow i ended up spending all my time on QA. Please tell me i am not the only one whose CAT prep has become a full-time one section relationship some of the days. By the end of the day, i am so exhausted that i don’t even have the energy to practice other two sections at night anymore 🫠🙃
