Hello Shweta di and everyone I want to start my prep and target 2026 CAT I want to target 99+ percentile I have neither prepared nor given CAT before So I gave a mock - CAT 2025 slot 2 just to see where I stand I was able to score 38 marks in VARC - I wasn't able to go through all the questions so I need guidance on how to improve speed and also in many questions I just can't find why the answer makes sense, tried chat gpt but it gives the wrong answers In LRDI I was able to solve only 1 set which did not require any conceptual knowledge as such like pie charts etc and quants was worse as I don't remember any concepts/formulas I have started preparing from the videos you have provided on this website but I am confused whether I should go for an online course or continue the self study using the videos you have mentioned in the website. Pls guide me on how should I proceed given in a working professional and can give 1-2 max 3 hours on a good day for prep
Thank you for your time! Regards

Mocks will not show true picture right now. You can take coaching if you dont feel confident but even there it will take time to get better

Rashmi is right about the fact that a mock test rn may not reflect the actual potential because you have just started and have never appeared for CAT before. The videos on this website can also help you cover the basics like a coaching would but coaching can give more question banks (which I'm trying to curate here). There will be structured classes there which may keep you disciplined, so if you prefer that go for it.
