Lakshya Kumar Jha, MBA program student of IIM Calcutta suggested candidates to take mock tests and revise formulas of important topics such as number system and geometry would be helpful. Go through your previous mock tests and try to analyse what went right or wrong. "For the D - day, remember to treat each section of CAT as a separate silo. Do not take the lows of one section onto another section. Always remember, if you find the paper tough, it must be tough for everyone. Finally and most importantly, trust your preparation and do not panic. Listen to calming music, talk to parents or friends and face the examination with a calm mind. Wishing you the best and hopefully you all bell the cat with ease," the student said.

Dr. Vaidyanathan Jayaraman, Dean, SP Jain School of Global Management advised candidates to follow these three keywords to do well in the management entrance- focus, right attitude and a good aptitude. "Reduce anxiety and nervousness, prepare well, spend less time on social media over the last 3-5 days before the exam, and learn to relax. On the day of the exam, reach the exam center at least 90 minutes before the start time to remove that stress of showing up late and focus all your energy, mind, body, and soul on the exam," the dean said.

Janardan Tiwari, Co-founder, DataTrained said, "With CAT around the corner, it's a crucial time to focus on a feasible exam strategy. Candidates should not experiment with something new and revise thoroughly whatever they have prepared in the past. Make a list of topics and prioritise them based on preparedness and allot time i.e. maximum to the least prepared topic and minimum to the most prepared topic. Have a scheduled timetable for your last few days of study and decide on the outcome of every study session and try to achieve it. Solve past question papers and mock tests. It is better to leave a question unanswered rather than give the wrong answer so avoiding negative marking is an important part of the plan. And the most important thing is to relax and calm your mind. A sound mind will help you to stay focused and avoid stress and anxiety."

Sumit Singh Gandhi(Rahul), Founder and CEO of CATKing Educare said, "Students need to keep them motivated till the exam to give their best results. Try to practice as much as previous year's question paper, as well as mock test 2021 as close to the expected exam pattern which will give the confidence. Do not touch any new chapter at the last moment; just revise the important topic and chapters already prepared. Practice time management, while giving the CAT exam try to opt for the strong topics section as a priority. Revise all your mocks, mistakes, and rules. Keep your mind calm, fresh, and be positive for a better outcome."
