Can an Average Student Score 99 Percentile in CAT?

3 min read

Yes, any average student can score 99 percentile but he must know the requirement of the exam. How much hard work you need to do to ace this examination. If you have been very mediocre in scoring during your college time then it will take time to learn and build consistency. If you are getting less than 70 percentile then your basics are not clear. You must assess yourself by taking a mock and based on your standing in that exam. Try to maximize your score in the next 6months of your Preparation

Take Mock Test

Mock is to maximize your marks. You must give as many mocks as possible before the exam. Maximize the mocks as the exam is in one month period. Analyzing mocks is very crucial to score well on the exam. Give mocks as you are sitting in your exam hall. These settings will prepare you for the exam situation and you will control your nerve as you must have experienced it at your home. Mocks have a big role in cracking any of the competition.

Leave All The Distractions

You must fully concentrate on your preparation. You must not squander your time anywhere else. Set aside everything else and fully focus on the CAT exam.

Distribute Your Time Prudently

You must distribute your time subject-wise very prudently. I have seen many students who are giving more time to their strong subject. If you are scoring 99 percentile in Quant and you are scoring just 85 percentile in the English section then you must allot more time to English than Quant and focus on the areas where you will improve very fast.

Figure Out the Non-Scoring topics

Topics in which you are not scoring must be practised at least 4 to 5 times. Make their notes and revise many times as you can. Do a systematic learning of those topics and then write a chapter-wise test. You will find yourself in a better position as you spend the time you will build the topic stronger.

Maximize your score as much as possible if you are scoring 70 percentile try to make it to 90 plus percentile. You need to score 90+ percentile for getting into top MBA colleges in India such as IIMs, FMS, SPJIMR, IITs, etc. Take admission even if you have average score. The overall cutoff needed in MAT is 65 percentile if you want to get Calcutta Business School. The average package at Calcutta Business School is 7.5 LPA.
