Question

My mock scores have suddenly dropped drastically. I was scoring high 30s in verbal (36-40), around 15-20 in quants and around 10 in DILR. I've practiced a lot since then and i feel like I know much more than back then but my scores have dipped like anything - I've been scoring around 25 - 30 (total score) on my mocks recently. Is anybody else facing a similar thing?

oh my god the same thing is happening to me..i have no idea why..i used to solve 1-1.5 sets in dilr..in the past 3-4 mocks not able to solve a single one...i guess we should just hang in there..take a break and start again....

don't overthink bro. it happens. I was scoring decently in Verbal 25-30. 65-75 marks in total. But it suddenly dropped. I did not overthink and stayed put. It rose up again. Dude 1 thing you want to remember, CAT is very unpredictable. So maybe you can try to analyze mocks and improve shortcomings, but overthinking certainly won't help. stay put.!!!!

I am also facing same problem, now i am in my worse mental state.

Same here. My verbal score dropped from 35-40 to 15-25 marks in the last 1.5 months. No amount of analysis and practice is helping me salvage the situation. I guess we should just hang in there, practice and give our best on the D-day.

I can relate to this and this is even more frustrating. I feel I know the answers and have practiced so many questions too but suddenly have started underperforming in my mocks. My state of mind completely changes during that. I tried to monitor my thoughts and I found that I feel pressured because of the time. While analyzing I feel like how could i mark this. incorrect.
