Read the questions carefully

Before beginning to solve the questions, students should read each question carefully for clarity and better understanding. Candidates often end up misinterpreting the questions due to time constraints. Divide the questions and prioritise them on the basis of difficulty levels. Start by solving the easy questions first. This will allow the students to save time and solve the paper strategically. 

Do not get stuck due to tough language

Candidates often get stuck on questions with tough and tricky language. However, many times these questions are not as difficult as they seem. Students are advised not to panic if they come across such questions in the paper. If the language seems tough to understand, skip the question and solve others. Then, come back to the question and try to understand it with a calm mind. 

Don’t be surprised by lengthy questions

If a question appears to be lengthy, candidates must remember to not lose confidence. These questions are often easy in nature. However, the duration required to solve them makes the students panic. Thus, it is advisable to solve as many CAT mock tests as possible before the final examination day.
