Gave DASHCAT 1(with a strategy mainly focusing on accuracy) on July 7 and scored 74 percentile and gave DASHCAT 2 ( with a strategy of attempting most number of questions possible) on July 14 and just scored 17 percentile .

Is it okay if I just stick to my common strategy of giving more importance to accuracy?

Hi,
Based on your mock scores, focus on accuracy for better results. Balancing accuracy and the no. of attempts is crucial, but prioritizing accuracy can help you build confidence and improve your score steadily. Stick to your strategy, emphasizing accuracy, and gradually increase your speed. Consistent practice will help you find the right balance.
Keep up the hard work! All the best for CAT preparation.
