Hi Abhishek, Yes, it is possible to crack CAT without any coaching. And, many students I know who have cracked this exam without any coaching. 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. Extra books you may refer:- Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension - Ajay Singh (Arihant Publications) Quantum CAT - Sarvesh Verma (Arihant Publications) VA / RC - Ajay Singh (Arihant Publications) Thanks, Ravi read less

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...

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

Hey, I'm too scared of maths, to the extent that it makes me cry the moment I open my books for CAT. It also induced fear of LRDI; the moment I see graphs and numbers, I freak out. Is there any way I could become friends with maths?
Hi Shagun, Just don't be overwhelmed by the pictures or the vast number of problems. Start slowly and do as much as you can do every day; you would get over the fear and anxiety with time.

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.
