Start taking mocks in the time slot allotted to you. Take at least 5 to 10 mocks in the exact timing as your CAT slot so that you get used to the exam timings. It is essential to perform to the best of your abilities on the day of the exam and hence, ensure that you take an ample number of mocks in the actual exam timing.
