Should I solve older PYQs as well?

Asked by Akash on 2026-11-08 in CAT Prep

I've Arihant's Face to Face CAT PYQ book which has pyqs from 1999. Should I solve the older pyqs as well...like 2003 or 2004 ones? Or only recent ones - from 2020 is enough for prep?

But don't completely ignore older PYQs. You can use them selectively:
- 2020–2025: Must-do. Solve all three sections thoroughly.
- 2015–2019: Good for additional practice, especially VARC and DILR.
- 1999–2014: Selective practice for strengthening concepts, especially QA. Don't spend too much time on outdated patterns.
