Tips for D-Day- Courtesy T.I.M.E

Often repeated stuff , still no harm in refreshing it again

In a nutshell

Two days before D-Day
Work toward reducing the pressure on yourself
No serious preparation
just browse through what you have already worked on
Certainly no taking Mock CATs in the last 2 days
Don't get into any discussion on Mock CAT papers in the last 2 days
If you are not familiar with the centre, make a visit to the test centre the previous day to acquaint yourself with the route

On the day of the CAT

Plan to reach the exam centre at least 30 minutes before the reporting time of 9:45 AM
Carry your Hall Ticket, pencils, sharpener, eraser, pen, and a wrist watch
Do not expect any pattern or cut-offs for the paper
Be prepared for all eventualities

During the exam

Scan the paper and distribute the time over various sections
Don't worry if the paper is difficult
all test-takers are taking the same paper
Do not worry about the difficulty level of the paper
Focus on locating easy questions and answering them
Mark your answers on the OMR sheet for each question as soon as you solve it
Check that you are marking the oval against the correct question
If you are able to eliminate three choices (and are not able to arrive at the final answer), mark as your answer, one of the remaining two choices it is not worth leaving out such a question
Don't spend too much time on any one question
No blind guessing of answers
Keep track of time
Do not lose heart if one section goes bad - it may be the same with everyone else
