I read it everywhere that one has to analyse the CAT to figure out in which area more attention is required and it is totally correct, but what i want to know is how one should begin with the analyzing part and everything there is to about it.
Basically, i want to understand this process and how to make a study plan after analyzing the weak areas!
i think this is a question many people would want to ask for their own reasons but i am asking this because 1 month after the first practice CAT my score reduced i guess i dint analyse my weak areas and work on that!
NEED HELP!
Analyzing you mock CAT is one of the most important part of your preparation. The tests tell you about various problems such as:
1. Problems with Sections: Verbal Quants
2. Problems with subsections: PS, DS, SC, RC, SC
3. Problems with the type of questions, chapters and the topics.
Basically you need to drill down as deep as you can.
Allot close to 2 hours for analyzing the test.
Go through each wrong problem and try to solve it without looking at the solution.
If you still cannot, mark the question in your
error log and make a note of what you have learnt.
For the questions that you got correct, see the solutions and see if there is a better way to solve.
If you have timing issues, from the next mock make sure to make a timing grid on your scratch pad.
The main aim of analysis is to not make the mistakes again.
Hope this helps!
