    Evaluate all the mistakes that you made in the previous attempt which cost you heavily. You can ask the following questions to better evaluate:

    a) Was it the consistency?

    b) Did I solve enough questions?

    c) Did I appear for enough mocks?

    d) Was it about the strategy I chose?

    e) Was it because of time management or confidence?

    Asking these questions and duly evaluating your reasons will give you enough mistakes that you made. Make sure to find the maximum number of mistakes possible so that you have a handy of things to avoid in CAT 2024.

    2. Which Section You Missed?

    Usually either a candidate misses only one section or two. Sometimes, a candidate misses all three sections. Understand what was your case. It will help you decide which section to focus more on in the CAT 2024 repeaters preparation strategy.

    Also, include the difficulty level of each section in the evaluation so you have a relative measure of evaluation. Check what more questions you could solve or what mistakes you made in each section. In VARC, did you choose the right RCs or what is it about comprehension? Did you choose the right sets or the wrong sets in DILR? In QA, was it about lack of practice or you didn't know the formula etc? Note down the mistakes of all the sections you made.

    3. Mock Test Performance

    Review your performance in mock tests leading up to the exam. Identify patterns of mistakes and areas of weakness. By carefully evaluating mock test performance, you can identify areas needing improvement, refine your exam strategies, and gauge your readiness for the CAT exam. Mock tests play a crucial role in assessing your preparation levels, identifying weak areas, and setting studying plans to maximize performance in the real exam.

     CAT Repeaters Strategy 2024: Section-wise Plan

    VARC

    Since the VARC section is more about the language assessment, you have to work on your English language skills only. Set aside about one to one and a half hours every day for VARC practice. Start by reading things you enjoy, like articles from different topics and genres, to get used to different writing styles. For Reading Comprehension (RC), try different methods to see what works best for you, whether it's reading the questions first or the RC first. Keep practising regularly until the exam day, focusing on improving your reading speed and comprehension skills. Take mock tests specifically for VARC and analyze your performance to identify strengths and weaknesses. Following this plan consistently and adapting strategies that suit you can help you do better in the VARC section as a CAT repeater.

    DILR

    The DILR section tests majorly your problem-solving skills. This skill is not developed in a day. You have to develop it over time by constantly working on this. Make sure that you solve a minimum of 2 DILR sets every day with complete focus. Give those 2 sets full attention and understand how they are solved. Understand the nuances of the sets. When you do this for 2-3 months consistently, your problem-solving ability would have been developed much better. Use timed manner sets. Solve sectional tests to test your time management strategies. You can also try to play Chess and Sudoku to keep your mind sharp and enhance your problem-solving mindset.

    QA

    QA section is all about practising as many as possible good quality questions. First practice your basics and make your basics strong by solving good quality of CAT relevant questions. Once that is done, go for LOD 2 and start solving advanced-level sets. Maintain a notebook for formulas and important concepts. Appear for Concept tests and sectional. Try to understand which concepts you are facing more problems in. As a repeater, you must be thorough with most of your basics so this strategy won't take you much time. Make sure you don't leave any concept in quantitative aptitude.
