Should I attempt CAT 2026?
I am a 2027 Aspirant and I have filled the CAT 2026 form, I am just wondering if I should go and attempt it.
The issue is that my preparation is not completed and I feel that If I attempt with my half preparation my score will be low and will get demotivated and start spiraling.

Pls Advise if it is a good idea or not.

Help with quant prep
Hey could somebody please help me with how exactly I should go ahead with my prep for quant
Because right now it is very unorganized and scattered.

I am keeping a target of just 20 to 30qns a day but I am not able to meet even that because I panic when I take too long to solve a qn and I then jump onto something else entirely.

Ideally how long should I try solving a question on my own before checking the solution?

Because right now there are instances where I sit with ONE question for like 30 minutes or so because in my mind I have convinced myself that looking at the solution means admitting defeat

Which feels stupid typing out but that's the psychological process I am going through these days and it's not getting me anywhere.

There is no positive change.

Target percentile
Hi, I’m a General-category female candidate with 100% in Class 10, 98% in Class 12, and a 7.12 CGPA in B.Tech Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras. I’ll have around 1 year of work experience by September, and this will be my first CAT attempt.
I started preparing seriously only last week. Considering my academic profile and work experience, what CAT percentile should I realistically target to have a good chance of getting calls from IIM ABC?

Query Regarding Class 12 Marks Entry
I have a small doubt while filling out the academic section of the CAT application form.Since I completed my intermediate from TSBIE (Telangana Board), my marksheet shows scores for both 1st year and 2nd year. Should I enter the combined marks of both years as listed on the final consolidated memo for 1000, or just the 2nd year marks for 530? Please guide me.
