5 Months to CAT remaining: 60% syllabus done. Self prep this time till now. Thinking of Buying CL + Cracu mocks, but need the BEST source for topic-wise practice & coaching suggestions?

Hey guys,
I’m currently preparing for CAT 2026 and have completed roughly 60% of the syllabus across sections. With about 5 months remaining, I really want to step up my game, transition into heavy testing, and fix my weak areas topic by topic.

I have already decided to purchase the Cracu and CL test series for full-lengths and sectionals. However, my biggest requirement right now is an exhaustive, high-quality topic-wise question bank to drill down on specific chapters as I finish them.

While full mocks and sectionals are sorted, I want a dedicated online source specifically for topic-wise questions to hammer down individual chapters.

  • Also, since I am at the 50 to 60% mark, I am seriously looking into joining an online coaching program(or a dedicated booster/crash batch) to streamline the remaining 40% and get structured advanced shortcuts.

I need your advice on the following:

  1. Is coaching viable now? With 5 months left, is it worth enrolling in a full batch, or should I strictly look for Crash Courses / Booster batches?
  2. Coaching Recommendations: Which online players are genuinely delivering results right now for intermediate students? I keep hearing mixed things about EG, Rodha, Takshzila, and iQuant who has the best ecosystem for doubts and live application?
  3. Best Topic-Wise Question Bank: If I don't buy a full coaching course, which standalone package or portal offers the most rigorous topic-wise tests to align with CL/Cracu difficulty?

Thanks in advance for helping a brother out!
