How to Improve Your CAT Percentile
Targeted actions to move from your current score to your target.
Analyse Every Mock
Spend as much time analyzing your mock as you did taking it. Find patterns in your mistakes.
Fix Weak Topics First
Improving a weak topic from 40% to 70% accuracy adds more percentile points than perfecting a strong one.
Increase Attempt Quality
CAT rewards accuracy over attempts. Focus on getting every attempted question correct rather than attempting more.
Take More Sectional Tests
Dedicated sectional practice builds the depth needed to score well in each section independently.
