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

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.
