FAQs
Does the CAT score apply to non-IIM institutes?
Yes! Besides the various IIMs across the country, many Tier 2 and Tier 3 management institutes accept CAT scores for their various programs.
Why should I focus on fundamentals if the exam only has RC and Para Jumbles?
Think of fundamentals as the foundation of a building. Without a solid grounding in the concepts of the English language, your logical thinking cannot be applied effectively to advanced RC or Para Jumble questions.
Will this preparation help me with other exams?
Absolutely. Most management entrance exams test similar core concepts. Mastering the fundamentals first allows you to handle advanced questions across all management entrance exams with confidence.
Is it better to practice more questions or study concepts?
While practice is important, skipping core concepts to save time is a mistake. A structured understanding improves your speed and accuracy, preventing you from having to read questions multiple times.
