2 Months to CAT 2025: The 60-Day Countdown Strategy

With just two months remaining for CAT 2025, every minute matters. At this stage, starting from scratch isn’t an option — your focus must shift to high-impact topics that maximize your score potential.

The following 60 days are all about thoughtful preparation, where mock tests and in-depth analysis form the backbone of success. This is the phase to fine-tune your exam temperament, speed, and accuracy, ensuring you perform consistently under timed pressure.

A well-structured 60-day CAT preparation plan brings clarity, discipline, and direction — eliminating guesswork and keeping your preparation on track. Top CAT mentors and experts unanimously agree that a strategic, time-bound approach in these final weeks can make the decisive difference between a 90 and a 99 percentile score.

Percentile Reality Check

• 99%ile = 90–100 raw marks
• Accuracy > Attempts
• Focus on 30–40 solid attempts with 80–90% accuracy

Golden Rules

1. No new topics after Week 6- Stop chasing new chapters in the last few weeks. Focus only on revising what you’ve already studied — that’s how toppers boost accuracy.
2. Mocks + Deep Analysis = 80% Progress- Taking mocks is just half the work. Spend equal time analyzing your mistakes, weak areas, and time management. Real improvement comes from reflection.
3. Master Set Selection Skills- In CAT, what you solve matters more than how much you solve. Learn to pick the right questions — the smart ones, not the time traps.
4. Daily Practice → Small + Consistent- Even 2–3 hours daily is enough if you’re consistent. Regular practice keeps concepts fresh and builds exam stamina over time.
5. Prioritize Sleep, Slot Simulation, Calmness- Rest well, practice during your actual exam slot, and stay calm. A relaxed mind performs sharper than a tired one on exam day.

Mistakes to Avoid in the Last 60 Days

• Don’t ignore weaknesses, thinking you’ll catch up later — remediate them early.
• Don’t rely solely on mocks without error analysis.
• Avoid learning new advanced topics — focus on what you already know.
• Don’t skip rest and recovery — mental fatigue causes silly mistakes.
• Overdoing mocks without review is wasteful; a bad mock + no review adds little value.

Final 7-Day Sprint Essentials

In the last week, your focus should narrow further:

1. 2 mocks per day (one in the morning, one in the evening)
2. Only review mock error logs, avoid new content
3. Light revision of formulas, shortcuts, key patterns
4. Sleep, nutrition, and mental ease
5. Quick strategy recap — how you will choose which questions, which section to start, and time buffer for review
