I wanted to ask for some guidance regarding a problem I’m facing in quant ,especially Profit & Loss. I understand the concepts and can solve questions during lectures, but when I try questions on my own, I get stuck and have to check solutions.
Because of this, I take too long to finish a chapter. Also, whenever I get an old-topic question wrong, I feel like I need to revise that topic again before moving on. With only around 2 months left for CAT, I’m worried that this is slowing down my preparation. I would really appreciate your guidance on how I should approach this going forward.
1. How should I deal with this? 2. How can I improve my independent problem-solving without spending too much time on one chapter or constantly going back to revise older topics?

Hey ! I'm also facing same issues but I think instead of giving so much time and thought to a single chapter you better focus on those topics which you can do easily...see tumko sare questions toh vese bhi nahi karne toh strategy esi banao ki max ques with accuracy ho jaye....CAT is all about decision-making...aap kitne time mein kis tareeke ke questions attempt kar sakte ho this is what matters. Do pyq's and mocks ! trust me it's enough...or agar kuch nahi ara hai toh try karo 1 bar 2 bar chahe 10 bar or agar tab bhi na aye toh leave it. Formulas revise karo , only consistent practice will make you perfect. Hope it helps !
