The <a href=\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/cat#Syllabus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">syllabus of the exam<\/a> is fairly simple. Cracking CAT is not a tough job provided one is fairly thorough with what one has learnt during schooling. It takes discipline and tenacity to crack the exam. So, if you&#8217;re<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> preparing from home by self-study, it&#8217;s very essential to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/cat-2021-online-coaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">structured online preparation program.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Starting from April<\/strong>, the syllabus can be completed in three months (at most four months). The following is a study plan to finish the CAT <strong>Syllabus<\/strong> in three months. This can be used by students who plan to start studying in April and complete the syllabus by June\/July. Please remember that the study plan will vary from individual to individual- So if you are a working professional or a final year graduate student, it is essential that you spend a bare minimum of 2 hours every day for CAT preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The exam consists of 3 sections:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1.

In any case, spend enough time learning the fundamental concepts, and make sure you thoroughly understand them. Without strong fundamentals in place, you are not going to improve your mock scores in the later stages of the preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>How much time required to prepare for the CAT exam<\/strong> depends on the individual. <span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Considering that the <strong>CAT syllabus<\/strong> has to be completed in three months (i.e, roughly 12-13 weeks), every week spend five to six days learning the concepts, watching the concept videos; and on one day test yourself by taking <strong>the concept tests<\/strong>. Tweak your study plan and allocate enough time to work on the weak areas. For example, if you\u2019re weak in Quant you can allot more time in Quant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><u>CAT 8-month Preparation Strategy and Topic-wise study-plan<\/u>:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">How to prepare for CAT VARC: A study plan for Verbal Ability &amp; Reading Comprehension (VARC)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Here, the focus has to be on <strong>reading<\/strong>, for 1 hour every day. Reading will also make you develop a viewpoint on a variety of issues. Start with reading what you like, and then read articles from different genres to make yourself comfortable with various writing styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Apart from that, <strong>complete the concept videos<\/strong> in VARC in the first 1-2 months of your preparation. The major part of the preparation for VARC happens from Reading regularly and practising RC\u2019s every day. In the initial days of your preparation, solve at least one RC every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Avoid speed reading, skimming, surfing and other such gimmicky techniques. <strong>Read to absorb<\/strong> the essence of the paragraph. Most of the questions that appear will require the reader to infer the information from the passage. Therefore, avoid rushing through the passage. Questions on para jumbles and sentence elimination require aspirants to spot coherent ideas, and the other questions in the VA section (like Para summary) also depend greatly on the ability of the aspirant to comprehend the passage. Therefore, having a strong reading habit is indispensable to ace the Verbal Ability section as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Spend 1 hour every day to cover the Verbal Ability concepts.
