To avoid boredem , study 2-3 sections a day, devoting a little time to each as per your absorbing capacity.
• Make your Basics strong to attain perfect solving speed. Ace the shortcuts of Mathematics and learn from youtube or cat books on how to make calculations short or how to add or subtract 4-digit above in mind only. Learn power of 2 and power of 3 till 12, learn math tables on tips up to 20.
• Learn 10 words daily and make use of the vocabulary in dail-life, on fb or twitter to memorize them permanently. Read newspaper regularly to have hold on language.
• Never study from one book, buy sets from renowned authors after reading the reviews.
• If your friend is also giving CAT exam, ask for keeping a healthy competition. Take each other’s test for the same chapter and see the progress. This will keep you focussed and going.
• Keep a leisure time routine also in between studying-schedule; indulge in listening to music, walk, sports or gym to keep your brain healthy and away from aversion to study. Eat soaked almonds, fruits and healthy stuff. When health is good, brain will not hamper the study routine.
• Remember that you cannot afford to skip a year to attain higher percentile next time, or to get admission in the targeted b-school. So, think about it seriously when your schedule gets disturbed. The fear and seriousness will probably let you come back to the studying routine
