Do you ever feel like you are studying for CAT but not actually learning ?

Hi everyone

I have been preparing for CAT 2027 for a few days now and sometimes I end a study session feeling too confused

I solve questions, watch explanations and complete the topics I planned but at the end of the day, it feels like I havenot really learned much.

Then.. the next day, I see a similar question and struggle again. It makes me wonder if I am studying the right way or just rushing to complete topics completely into

I know improvement takes time but this feeling is a bit frustrating me.... because I am putting in the effort as much as possible for me ...

Is this something most starting aspirants go through.... or does it mean that I need to change the way I'm preparing ????
