Get study material from any one of - IMS / TIME / Career Launcher. Finish them completely. These are sufficient. Use previous 10 year questions for practice. Keep your basics clear and always remember “this is just an exam”. Students who keep calm score better.

As far as my experience goes,anyone who has cracked CAT without coaching is never a student with bad academics.Consider a person from a top-tier engineering college.That person will almost certainly be good at Maths (and thus,DILR).So the only area which might create issues is English.And that section needs rigorous self study.I know people who have cracked CAT without coaching and those who couldn't even after studying in the best coaching institute.So it basically depends on a particular student's current capability. read less

I am graduating this year. Also, I've appeared for CAT 2018. I scored 85.5 percentile (90+ percentile both in VA/RC and DI/LR but only 33 percentile in QA). I'll appear this year too. What should be my preparation strategy for QA? Also, my academic background isn't impressive. I am first division though, maintaining 65% right since class 12th, had 92% in 10th class. I'm pursuing a BA in polity, geo and eco. What are the skills I should work on to build a good MBA profile? Thanks in anticipation.
Forget about profile. Just try getting as high a percentile as possible in CAT. Written +GD/PI/WAT form the major chunk of the selection process in any top b school.
