Hey everyone, with around 100 days left for CAT 2026, I am hitting a wall with my Quantitative Aptitude prep and desperately need some strategic advice. Right now, I find myself in a frustrating middle ground where I have touched almost every topic, but I have only covered about 50% of each. The end result is that I don't feel 100% confident or command complete mastery over a single module, whether it is Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry. When I attempt mixed sets or mocks, this partial preparation really hurts my performance because I recognize the concepts, but I lack the depth and speed to solve them reliably under time pressure. I want to spend the remaining three months fixing this half-baked foundation instead of endlessly starting new material, but I am torn on whether I should pause mocks for a couple of weeks to take 2-3 high-weightage topics to 100% mastery or plug these gaps on the fly while giving sectionals. On top of that, if anyone has smart tips, shortcut tricks, option-elimination hacks, or specific frameworks for analyzing mock errors that helped you move past a plateau, please share them! Any advice on how to prioritize topics, structure daily practice sets, and build actual problem-solving confidence under time pressure would be massively helpful.

Hey everyone,

I'm working full-time (pretty demanding schedule, long hours most days) and just decided to start prepping for CAT. I know I'm not walking into this with tons of free time, so I want to be realistic from day one instead of burning out in month one.

For those who've cracked a good percentile while working full-time:

How many hours/week (or hours/day) did you actually manage, realistically?

Did you split time evenly across QA/DILR/VARC, or lean harder into weak areas early on?

Weekday vs weekend - how did you structure it?

Any tips for staying consistent when work eats into your energy, not just your time?

Trying to build a sustainable routine rather than a sprint I can't keep up. Appreciate any real numbers/experiences, not just "study hard" advice.

I am 23 m I work as a (myquals) data analyst in an insurance company , i earn 3 LPA after 1year of experience , I have a under grad degree in Bsc data science . Currently I don't see any growth in my company, so I am trying to switch but its difficult in this job market . I don't know what i should do next , whether i should go for higher education like MBA or other masters degree , or continue new job hunting , i just need a guidance. would be glad if someone helped.

I think I am doing something wrong , I (25m) am with a girl(23f), I don't know how to tell this feeling, she is everything that I wanted , but I can't feel the same way for her , sometimes I do , sometimes I feel So much for her, but there are times , usually during planning dates which are far off places like requires 2hrs travel , I give up, like I don't feel like going, sometimes I do but most of the times ,i just say let's go somewhere nearby , but it kills me when I say this to her as she is all excited for that plan and when I say no , she gets really sad, I want her , but I think I might not be the right person for her , I don't know why I feel like this , but i want her to be by my side as , she gives so much comfort but also the sex the awesome, we both enjoy it equally, please can someone guide me as of what to do and what not to do ?, I am open to answering a few questions to get some clarity and advice for myself , I'll be honest be open I'll be grateful
