How to improve Quants and DILR? i am having very low command in maths because of which i struggle with DI as well, as need help for profile evaluation
Asked by Aranjan on 2026-03-26 in CAT Prep
Hi, I’ve recently started preparing for aptitude (percentages, profit & loss) but I’m struggling with consistency, which is delaying my progress to DI. I’d really appreciate guidance on how to strengthen my basics and study effectively alongside a full-time job.
Also, with 4.5 years of experience in sales and finance at a startup, should I target a full-time MBA or an executive MBA? And realistically, is aiming for 2026 a good plan?

Executive MBA is better for 8+ yrs experience I think

you can create a timetable or mark calendar daily it motivates to keep going on. i m using the progress bar on the website it helps with knowing how much is done

Both Rashmi and Garima are right - for consistency, have a streak counter i.e. record your progress somewhere daily (you can use the progress bars on the website too) and executive MBA is more suited for those with a lot more experience like Garima said. You can get in at 5 years too if that college allows but it is better to join a regular program in that case.
