How to score 90 percentile?

Asked by Anonymous on 2026-10-07 in CAT Prep

So I am preparing for CAT 2026. I started pretty late in the last week of September and all I have done is give mock tests and solve the ones I couldn't solve. I scored around 71 percentile in the mocks, however I am aiming for 90 percentile or above just enough to crack any IIM. I feel extremely lost because i don't have time to finish the entire syllabus or navigate it. Kindly guide me so that I can achieve a decent percentile to crack any IIM. Oh BTW I am a General, Engineering, Female.

hiii hope this helps
since you are from eng background you should make quants your strongest section. instead of trying to complete full syllabus focus on only 2 topics in quants that is arithmetiic and algebra.
for varc first check all the different types of question in rcs and understand them and then jump staight into solving rcs. for va simply understand how to solve them and practice
for dilr there is not set way to understand as all the sets are different and unpredictable. for dilr simply practice as much as you can.
create uour own attemp startegy what suits you best for each section and give as many mocks as you can. all the best hope this helps you can as anything ypu want to ask
