CAT 2018 Super 50 Program Schedule
This post outlines CAT’s recommended schedule or timeline, that can help one plan and track their progress in their CAT prep journey. We’ve given an overall outline and a plan for someone who does not as yet know his/her strengths and weaknesses. Each student should create his/her own schedule and prepare with a customized plan. You are preparing to have a shot at the top few B-Schools in the Country. You SHOULD definitely have ownership over your preparation plan. Treat this as a broad framework, and not as the finished article.
Note that the number of months is just an indicative number. Spend as much time as you require to wrap your head around a topic.
We have broken the schedule into 5 components:
1) Quant
2) Logical Reasoning
3) Data Interpretation
4) Reading Comprehension
5) Verbal Ability
