Unable to understand even a single concept in Routs & Networks, watched videos as well, saw few solutions to question but nothing helps, I've faced immense prob in DILR, in last test scored only 2 correct out of 20 question, unable to visualize, unable to get correct approach, saw lot of videos but not gonna help in any way. I'm totally perplexed. Please help me out 🙏 I don't even get a single topic in any of Dilr properly or sucked up in selecting proper set, did lot of sets but of no help... Same thing happen in Maths too. I'm an arts student. I've faced issues in both these section specially getting the right approach to solve any question. Saw multiple videos even more than once. Saw question, their solution but didn't get a single thing correctly. Only few days left for actual CAT exam & other Omets. Please help me out. I'm in immense trouble 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Prerana, To be honest, there is no shortcut to improving your problem-solving abilities overnight. While you might struggle with the topic of routes & networks, there are plenty of other relevant topics that you can work with. We suggest that you learn the fundamentals of DI followed by a few concepts in LR and then eventually revisit the topic that troubles you. In the case of routes & networks, you could try rewatching the videos till you understand the basic elements and then solve the attached sets without any time constraints. You can also head to the Study room and attempt relevant questions to further solidify your understanding. Since unconventional sets have become common over the past few years, the best we can do is hone our basic problem-solving abilities. Please do not undermine your innate ability simply based on your background; keep learning concepts and reinforce them by solving as many questions as possible. I understand that lack of progress might be frustrating; however, the best approach is to break down a problem into smaller sub-problems and deal with them individually. Please keep picking at the concepts and questions that trouble you; post queries below them, and our team will always help you out. I hope you have heard the maxim "Rome wasn't built in a day"; the best advice we could give you along these lines is to keep grinding. Watch and rewatch videos; solve and analyse questions; attempt as many tests as possible. Over time, there is bound to be some improvement. As for the trouble you had with the specific routes and networks question, our team is in the process of modifying the explanation for greater clarity. I hope this helps!

Routes and networks is out of Date topic and mostly cat is not asking it now,So you are on safer side.Cat asks one easy set every year to compensate for arts student who take up this exam.Mostly This Easy set comes from Bar Graphs,Pie charts,Arrangments .Try to Focus on these topics.All the best.
