Avoid studying from all kinds of Study Material- A plethora of study material is available online as well as offline. This raises the panic mode of the student. It’s always best to stick to a particular study material. Referring to one is always preferable. After completion, if there is a need can switch on to different study material.
Avoid collecting only Information- It’s been a tendency to search on the net for anything we want. Candidates too search for various tips and strategies to crack CAT. Collecting only and doing nothing is not beneficial.

Try and apply in the mocks and understand whether they should be considered or not.
Don’t switch on panic mode- Days for CAT exam will start cutting down to few. But then also don’t switch on panic mode. Work according to your plan and stick to it without any fear.
Don’t get influenced by the negative environment- Environment has an impact on each of us. So, avoid being with negative people. They may demotivate you. So, surround yourself with people who are willing to fight and have a positive attitude. Be with whom always motivates you to do more and give your 100%.
Avoid Wasting Time- Every single second is precious when you are getting ready for the CAT exam. Have a break in between your study plan, but make sure to roll back to your study routine.
