Hi, I haven’t started with my CAT prep yet. I wanted to know some good crash courses for all three subjects, primarily quants that teaches everything from the basics.
Free resources would work too but they should he structured with enough questions to practice.

I am 93 in 10 class 89 in 12 64 in grad non eng male obc ncl what should be safe score to get convert bt my concern is my grad is very less

Quants:-Im done with only ratio, variation and proportion, percentages, averages, SI AND CI
LRDI:circular and lonear arrangements, selection and bar graph
VARC:-im doing it daily since 3-4 months(RC IS GOOD ENOUGH AND VA Im able to crack only para summary, not other \[parajumbles,............]
Also gave 2 mocks (AIMCAT)
One I scored 7 percentile
The other one 32 percentile

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!

I'm looking for a serious female CAT'26 study partner aiming for a 99+ percentile.

Would love to have regular accountability, doubt discussions, and, if possible, Google Meet study sessions.

Text me if you're interested.

Btw 21 F, fresher here...

I want to make a true confession, I graduate in may, I took my time and thought about whether to actually give cat or not... Whether I actually want MBA or not, but somehow i kept delaying the decision making( as it seemed to be such a big decision to finally take a gap year and prepare for the cat'26) and finally on 29th June I bought the cat coaching, and decided to give my best,

But now that I am into one and its 3rd July today, 4 to 5 days in.

I can't keep up with the backlogs and the current sessions that are going on.. it all feels too much for me.

attending a top B school has always been my dream since I was little, not only that but just the process of preparing for CAT as the person it makes you, but now I am questioning all my decisions whether should have I gone for this or should i just go for masters in my field and settle for what life would have to offer........

Feels like I am not capable enough, makes me question myself and my decisions.

its like questioning my life and wanting to give up even before actually starting anything

So I Will Start From The Beginning. I Am A 5/5/6 General Male. Gave Cat In 2025 and Scored Great Percentile(won’t share it for some reason) But it was quite high. I got offers from IIM cap, sirmaur and Jammu Basically. I had my interview In IIM JAMMU on 3rd March. In Beginning of June I got a mail of Waitlisted in IIM JAMMU, and Got Ineligible In Sirmaur cause of less than 60% in boards. I Lost hope I really wanted an IIM. But I understood not everything has to go how I want to go. In End of June I Got A Mail From IIM BODHGYA. I got provisional Offer I took it. Paid the fees and Had to report there today on 1st. On 30th I got My dream college mail, IIM JAMMU. And I have made it in. I left bodhgya and paid for Jammu I will report there on 10th.

I Never Believed in God, but Now? I Do.
Whoever is reading this? Guys you will make it too. Trust your instincts and Surrender. You did what you could do. Rest is On him.
Be well and I hope everyone gets what they want.

Also I am Getting So Many Holy shits in comment,let me tell you something else too, when the shortlist came I was not offered Bodhgya. On 28th they called me on my phone not email a call, and told me, “You were ineligible but we had an internal meeting and we have decided to Send you an offer” I cried over the call and You know the rest

So recently i had purchased CL mocks but that just contain mocks and topic practice. I want sectionals too. Now i am planning to buy cracku mock series which has mocks+ sectionals. I’ve heard CL mocks are great. But no idea abt cracku.
What do you guys think abt cracku?Will it be worth?

I am currently scoring around 50-65 in CAT mocks, today I have given another scoring 51 marks (10, 10, 31). This was my 9th mock.

I am targeting around 95 in CAT 2026.

Any suggestions that you guys can give, that will help me to score more.

Any suggestion will help.

CHEERS 🥂

Last year i got 99 in my quants and around 95 in my dilr but just 72 in my varc

After a disappointing 72 percentile last year, I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands. This year, my scores are consistently hitting the 30 to 35 mark in mocks and sectionals, and I want to share my process with others who are just as determined to improve.
I’m forming a small, highly focused community for daily VARC preparation. Here is how we’ll work together:

1. **Daily Reading:**We’ll focus on 2 to 3 articles or essays from sources like Aeon or Britannica to broaden our comprehension and vocabulary.
2. **AI Practice:**I’ll share high-quality questions generated through a targeted, high-value AI prompt to simulate the actual exam's tone and difficulty.
3. **Strict Accountability:**Every member must submit their answers before the daily reveal. We will have a strict policy: miss 3 days in a week, and you’re immediately removed from the group to ensure everyone stays committed.
4. Mocks discussion
   With just five months left for CAT, there’s no time to waste. If you’re serious about turning VARC into a strength, leave a comment below.

Hi guys!
Non-engineer female here (Fashion & Design background, ~10 months work ex), currently preparing for CAT 2026.
Of course, a part of me still dreams of getting into BLACKI, but I randomly discovered MICA and for the first time thought… wait… this feels like my place? 😭 The whole creativity, branding, consumer psychology, and storytelling side of an MBA genuinely excites me.
Can someone explain the MICAT process like I’m five? 😭 How do you prepare for it alongside CAT, when should I start, and how is MICA’s reputation outside the marketing/advertising world?
Any tips/resources would be super helpful.
Thanks!

I will be giving my 4th sem exams mid August and wanted to apply for CAT 2026 (I’ll be in 5th sem by then)
I have a little confusion - my university says that my course is upto Aug 2027 - considering if my 6th sem exams are held in June
Will I be eligible for CAT 2026 ? Ik I can provide provisional degree certificate etc etc but the fear of my admission offer (if I get any) getting revoked is haunting me .

Hi guys, so we have made a video for our algebra playlist in which we cover the question where a variable raise to the power variable is equals to 1 is given, the question has recently appeared in cat multiple times and is very easy but seems intimidating two equations that too in power!
We have given three simple rules to follow while solving these question types and trust me you will never leave that question for sure! It wiuld be sort of bonus points at this point!! If you want i can share the link in the comments… we want to help people preparing for cat …

I have watched rodha’s qa playlist but i am not able to solve questions. What should i do i ak very confused. Don’t want to spend money for coaching but want to clear this also.
