CAT 2022: Important Tips To Attempt Questions
Attempt Easy Questions First- Answering CAT questions should not be treated like completing a video game level where you would want to finish it before proceeding to the next level. It is perfectly fine to skip questions that a candidate is getting stumped on as this would help save time. They can always circle back to these unanswered questions later if they have time remaining.
Focus On TITA Questions- Type In the Answer (TITA) questions should be answered keeping time in mind. They can be the most alluring of questions to answer but the candidates need to be smart and gauge them based on the time taken while attempting.

Don't Waste Time- Do not spend too much time on one question; each question should take you 2-2.5 minutes on average. The candidates should start the examination with the questions they are most confident about.
Don't Rush- One of the most common and silly mistakes candidates make is that they rush through the questions. This can be a good practice if the candidate is absolutely sure of the answer. Many times, this leads to the candidate reading the question wrong and selecting the wrong answer, so it is advisable to stay within the time limit per answer. The most important thing to remember is to remain calm and convinced. Tell yourself that you are better and that you will do well. READ MORE | Want To Know How Toppers Crack CAT?
