A Non-Engineer's Journey From 48%ile To 97%ile In QA

There's just one thing which helped me gain marks in quant which was told to me by my QA faculty member:Jabb takk apne pe confidence nahi layegi ki mein karr sakti hun, tabb takk kuch nai karr payegi . And this line seriously changed my life. I started to gain confidence even though I didn't score well in some of the mocks. I analysed each and every question and analysed which topic was not fully prepared.

The Number One Mistake CAT Aspirants Make That You Must Avoid For CAT 2020

---

On the D-Day , I attempted my Quant section very calmly because not being calm really messes things up and finally got my result which was 97%ile. The most shocking, yet satisfying part was that I had achieved 100% accuracy in the QA section.

Key Takeaways from my preparation journey -

1. Don't have a  fear for any section. If you're weak in one section, it gives you the opportunity to work even harder on that section.

2. Build up your confidence - if you lack self-confidence, your preparation goes for a toss. Surround yourselves with friends and mentors who boost your confidence.

3.  Start from the easiest topics and build up your basics. Note down the formulas, shortcuts for your easy reference.

4. Don't neglect sectional tests. It helps you keep a check on the topics you know and the ones you need to prepare.

5. Put up a thorough drill-down analysis of each question and topic.

6. Practise building stamina and the mental stability to sit and concentrate for 3 hours at a go.

7. Accuracy over attempts.

So, all the best to CAT 2020 aspirants!  All it takes to achieve success is a thought, consistency , motivation and most important of all, hard work.
