How to manage time effectively during CAT 2023??
All dedicated candidates must have prepared to the best of their ability for the CAT 2023 exam.?
At this stage, with a few days left for the exam on November 26, focusing on time management during the paper will be a decisive factor between success and failure.?
In CAT 2023, shifting from one section to another is prohibited.?
But within the time given for each section - 40 minutes - candidates should first focus on the Easy questions and tackle those first.?
Next, they can move on to tougher questions and devote more time to those.?
Do not spend too much time on a difficult question - not only would you lose out on time, which you could have used to solve the easier questions, but you are also at risk of negative marking if answered incorrectly.?
Lastly, reserve a little time in each section for revision. Reserve around 10 minutes for this, and go back to check if you have marked the options accurately.??
