Hi everyone

I took CAT last year and got fairly decent percentile...as far as taking mock cats from more than one institute is concerned i wud say it definately helps because as every institute mocks differ so u get practice in different patterns...secondly u get invaluable parctice...third u can experiment with ur stratigies...

But that doesn't mean one sud just go on giving mocks...analysis is very very important..so just get in a right mix of numbers and quality..

I think it is a good idea to take more than one Mock CAT. But don't look at it as an exit poll and take your results too seriously. It is best to take more than one Mock CAT so that your mind does not get set to the pattern of one instituite. Don't write all the tests. Write selectively. For example I wrote 12 TIME ones, 5 CL ones, 3 IMS ones, 4 CF ones and 1 CAV one. My performance was pathetic in all of them. But the tests helped me know myself and identify my mistakes and I managed a percentile of 99.27 in CAT.

You should all follow what works for your OWN SELF here. I wrote only 8 IMS SIMCATS, spent a lot of time analysing them, even writing down each of the mistakes I made, and classifying them into silly or conceptual/logical error, and rechecked all previous ones after each test so as not to repeat them. This worked for me and I got a 99.9%le finally.. However if you are a person who would be somewhat worried you have not done enough, then this approach is not for you.. What's important is to take on only how much you can bite, analyse EVERY single test you take, and also gain an inner confidence that you have done enough to deserve a seat in the best institutes of management in the country. All three of these are equally important...

If you ask me, I would never advise to go for more than I mock series.... analyzing a mock itself takes a day... if you take more than one mock a week, how would you improve you week areas ????
