Serious Rant

Asked by Anonymous on 2026-09-27 in CAT Prep

I am simply going to rant. My Mocks scores are bad. Bad as in really bad. I am feeling hopeless at this point. In VARC, I dont know from which land of Shakespeare do they get their sentence formation or vocab but I feel the screw in my head go a little loose everything I read a dense RC. VA is not a problem. DILR is more unpredictable than anything I have ever encountered. Quants is a far fetched idea at this point. When I sit to give a Mock, I have already given up, Already seeing my crying face in the future. I think Mindset is also an issue while giving mock. This is simply beyond me. Its crazy.

The meme is true with regards to me "Mera aukkat ke bahar wale exam ka fefda touching Preparation chal raha hai aaj kal"

To anyone feeling bad about their prep dont worry, I scored 10 out of 208 in todays mock. You must be doing better than me lol.

broooooo, please don't say like this, it's true u are not getting marks in mock and trust me many people suffer from this [INCLUDING ME], the only thing u have to do is not to give up just go with slow steps first try to get 15 marks which is 5 qst right, than go for 20 marks which is 7 qst go like this and trust me at the end u will definitely score good and will feel much better.

I scored 22/208 in a mock yesterday :/
WHAT are you guys focussing on accuracy or attempt rate per section?

bad mocks in sep-oct are the norm, not the exception, ask anyone who cleared. the fact that you're still showing up matters more than the 10/208 rn.

practical stuff: for VARC dense RCs, stop trying to understand every line, just get the main idea of each para in your head. accuracy over attempts. for DILR pick only 2 sets after scanning all, dont chase. for quant lock into arithmetic only for next 2 weeks, one topic mastered gives more marks than 5 half done. and give one mock a week only for now, spend the other days on analysis and topic tests, mocks without analysis just kill morale.

mindset wise, stop scoring yourself against percentiles, score yourself on "did i attempt what i knew properly". mocks are diagnostic, not verdicts.
