Hi @all Looking to connect with serious CAT aspirants so we can help each other out, track preparation, and stay consistent together... Those who r interested kindly dm

What we should choose if we have more than two years of experience---CAT or GMAT?

Where can I get CAT free mocks?

I recently saw some CAT preparation AI websites, it gives daily quizzes and teaches concepts. It was fun trying to learn in it, but is this alone enough?

I guess self-study with consistency is good or joining a coaching class is a better option too. But these AI tools are really worthy?

I started my CAT prep last month while working a 9 to 6 job and honestly it's much harder than I thought. By the time I get home from work, I'm completely exhausted. My energy is just gone.

For anyone else juggling a full time job and CAT prep at the same time, how are you doing it? How do you structure your day? What study patterns work for you? Are there specific resources or techniques that you actually swear by?

Hi everyone,
I gave CAT 2025 last year and I scored 61.82 percentile. VARC score was 85.47 , DILR score was 62.82 and Quant was 4.18. I was laid off from my job so I thought of seriously cracking it this time. But I feel so lost in the start of the prep. I didn't take any coaching this year as I took TIME last year and they didn't teach basics. Im really worried as to how to prep for it.

Can someone guide me?

Why have the teachers from RODHA and ELITES GRID never given CAT?

Why to pay 40k for online coaching with chat as only interaction? Fees like UK and services like Rwanda

Why their marketing has no facts that can be checked and is only based on unverified claims (GOOD, BEST, AWESOME) by Reddit accounts? Also, tell WHY it is good?

How can a poor man teach you how to get rich? How can an unemployed person give lectures on how to get a job?

If they are so capable, why does their profile not reflect that?

Why all of them have a SSC/UPSC history and their marketing is all from reddit accounts?

Why their name exists only in Reddit?

RODHA and ELITES GRID Marketing claims that it gives Conceptual clarity. What conceptual clarity for a 10th-class Maths? How do you get conceptual clarity for school-level maths? How does a Ratio-Proportion and Percentage topic need conceptual clarity?

Why are you not able to take 2 hours of your busy time for CAT when you are earning Crores by creating false hype?

Why do most of them have an Unacademy background? These people used Unacademy money to promote themselves and create a fake GOAT identity. When they saw that the fake identity had been developed, they left the company and started their own coaching. Unacademy went BANKRUPT due to these people.

Why"RODHA and ELITES GRID Cult" exists almost exclusively within the vacuum of Reddit?

Hey everyone! I scored 99+ in CAT 2025 with 96+ percentile across all sections, and I'm a non-engineer who dropped maths in 10th grade.

Why I'm sharing this:

Many of you are probably starting CAT prep around this time, and I thought my experience might be useful—especially if you're coming from a non-engineering background or starting from scratch in any section.

My Background:

• Non-engineer (dropped Maths in 10th)
• Weak foundation in DILR and VARC initially
• Started prep around this time last year
• Still managed 96+ in all three sections

What This Post Covers:

I'm planning to share what worked for me and what didn't across all sections. Since I know how tough it can be starting with almost no foundation, I want to help others in a similar boat.

I want to enroll into good classes focused on QA and LRDI I wanted some reviews of iquanta 2026

I’m a BHMS graduate with an 8/7/6 academic profile, and I also have a PG Diploma in Emergency Services. Currently, I’m working in ICU administration through a private company that operates within a government hospital setup. My role mainly involves ICU administration work like scheduling, payment coordination, documentation, and general operational management.

Before this, I was working as an RMO in a hospital, but I left that role because I felt this administrative exposure might help my MBA profile in the long run. However, the current job has very low pay, no real job security, and honestly feels quite replaceable. I’m now confused about whether continuing this job actually adds meaningful value to my profile or if I should primarily focus on CAT preparation instead.

One more concern is that I’m not naturally strong at QA and LRDI, so CAT preparation itself is taking significant effort and time. Since I come from a medical background, I’m hoping the 6 in my profile may be viewed a little differently by MBA colleges, but I’m still worried about my overall chances.

Would really appreciate honest advice from people who have gone through MBA admissions or have similar backgrounds:
- Does this kind of ICU administration experience genuinely help for MBA admissions/interviews?
- Is work experience like this better than a clinical RMO role for management aspirants?
- Should I continue balancing the job with CAT prep, or would focusing more aggressively on CAT make more sense at this stage?

Any guidance would help a lot.

If u have material of all three sections or any of them please share. Given up on upsc nhi hone wala I guess. Will be appearing for CAT november attempt.

I need clarity on thisss..its eating my brain up😭😂

After speaking to a bunch of aspirants, I noticed a pattern:

People with 7/6/7 profiles targeting IIM A

95 percentile expectation but aiming for BLACKI

No clarity on how profile impacts calls

Not judging — just curious:

👉 How are you deciding your target colleges?

Based on reality or just hope?
