Below are the few tips to avoid mistakes in CAT: A- Be punctual on "D" Day: It is very much necessary to be on time at the test venue to avoid any sort of panic. Be cool and keep confidence while appearing. B- Last minute preparation: To give your best. Do not learn new tricks at the very last moment. This increases chances of confusion especially in case of mathematics problems C- Don't get emotionally attached with a problem: Sometimes candidates get very attached to a problem and forget that the time is running. This is even worse when a candidate thinks that he/she had spent 3 minutes to a question and it will be a mistake to leave in between. But the truth is you need to save time and optimize your score. Each question has equal weight-age whether it is an easy or a difficult one. Keep Calm.
