The CAT paper has traditionally been a 120 - minute test.

The questions in the CAT paper are generally not very difficult but there is always an exceptionally high emphasis on the speed.

The key to crack the CAT exam is to keep your cool and maintain your composure during the entire length of the test.

This may sound deceptively simple but is easier said than done. The pressure levels would be high, yes, but you have to use your adrenaline to work faster and smarter. There is no point getting bogged down at any point in the paper.

CAT does not require/ expect you to attempt all or even nearly all the questions. It is test of speed but not only of speed. Accuracy is needed too!

There is negative marking in the CAT paper and for every wrong answer a certain score is deducted from your total.

The IIMs do not disclose the way they calculate the negative marks for the wrong answers.
