CAT is an aptitude test, not UPSC with tons of syllabus. So you still have around 5 months which is more than enough. Just focus on major and high weightage topics and master them. Do not cover whole syllabus. Be smart and study hard, and you will succeed. Mocks you can start around mid-september or october. All the best!

try covering it by end of september so that you have atleast 1.5-2 months for giving mocks. go to the "schedule" option and set the end date accordingly. it will create the perfect plan for you

delaying mocks till syllabus completion is wrong, you can start mocks after 40% completion. i advise starting mocks within 1-1.5 months of start . you can further increase the frequency of mocks , 2 in a month , once a week and then twice a week . so i advise start mocks by 15 august or before

U have to cover the syllabus by the end of Aug or mid september, only then u will be able to focus on improvements
