Sometimes, even months and weeks of effort put into the preparation of CAT exam may come crashing down on the day it counts the most. Keeping all the practice and sincerity a candidate has put in the run up to this day aside, a lot can go against them if pressure of the exam takes over them. Here are some most common mistakes committed by aspirants in CAT exam:
- Overcautious approach while attempting:
Being too cautious while attempting the questions is like putting an unnecessary brake in a road where you open space enough for smooth driving. To secure 90 and 95 plus percentile, one must cover 70 to 80 percent of the questions with decent accuracy.
- Reckless approach on risky questions:
Just like unnecessary brakes can spoil a smooth ride, reckless driving and over speeding is a much worse behavior. Attempting unsure questions just to make your chances better is a detrimental activity most of the time. One must make attempt only when they are more than 70% sure about an option.
- Getting trapped and losing out time in a tricky question:
There are always some questions in various sections put in there to trap the candidates for some time. The best approach towards this will be to scan the whole section and mark the familiar questions for attempt at first, and devote the rest for tricky ones.
