The CAT (Computer Adaptive Test) is not a separate test. It is the way the test is given. While you do need to prepare for CAT, it's not a matter of studying materials for the CAT. The prep for the CAT should be taking multiple CAT's so you are familiar with the way it works and how it looks. Best of luck. We'll be happy to answer any other specific questions you have along the way.

Can you give us a brief idea of the following:

What are you goals (schools, MBA, joint degrees)?
When do you plan on taking the GMAT?
Which schools do you want to apply to?
Where are you from?
Is English a second language for you? (If so, you need to prepare for the TOEFL too.)
I totally agree with the idea that getting familiar with the CAT format is key. It’s all about getting comfortable with the pacing and adaptive nature of the test. As for your questions, my goals are to apply for an MBA program, aiming for schools like NYU or Columbia, and I plan to take the GMAT in a few months. English is my first language, so the TOEFL isn’t necessary for me, but I definitely recommend practicing with the CAT to get the best results!
