Video Summary - Getting 99%ile in CAT 2025 is actually easy...

Main ideas / lessons conveyed

A late but successful CAT attempt is possible: The speaker decided to prepare for CAT in June 2024 and still achieved a very high percentile by the exam (claimed 99.43% in about 4 months).
Mindset is the “foundation”: They emphasize transforming one’s brain into a consistent learning/solving mode through:
- calmness,
- clarity,
- a daily reinforced goal,
- and high consistency in practice.
Preparation should be structured by CAT sections (VARC, DILR, Quant): They share daily/section-wise methods and “do’s” focused on accuracy, speed management, and sufficient practice volume.
Consistency + process over mock-score anxiety: They warn that mock scores fluctuate and may start low; improvement can be rapid within months.
Use support systems and avoid negativity:
- form study groups,
- avoid negative people/videos,
- follow guidance from experienced teachers.
Motivation through outcomes: They describe rewards/recognition after scoring above 99 percentile, framing it as proof of what is possible (not a universal guarantee).

Calm mind
- Do daily meditation.
- They mention using Sadguru’s “Mind” app for ~7 minutes/day and accountability.
Clarity of mind
- Do a 1-minute exercise: look around the room and mentally point out/name objects.
- Continue for 2 days, then maintain for the next couple of months to improve clarity (they claim it helps with comprehension).
Clear goal
- Every day, affirm your target (example given):
  - Write: “On 24 Nov 2024, I will score 99 percentile” 10 times every morning.
- Treat it as the sole focus until the exam.
Day-by-day reps + consistency
- Use the Bruce Lee idea: fear the person who repeats one kick many times.
- Keep routines consistent during exam readiness, including:
  - posture,
  - laptop position,
  - pen grip,
  - handwriting,
  - overall calm body/mind so performance remains steady on D-day.

Read 1 editorial/essay per day and summarize it (without looking back).
- If you don’t like reading: switch to easy-to-read books.
- Example easy books mentioned: “Make Your Epic Money” and “Epic by Anurag/Anur” (as stated).
Timed practice without a stopwatch
- Give sectional marks rather than strict timing.
- Rationale: within the 40-minute section, this helps attempt 2–3 RCs and mimics D-day conditions.
Try different RC strategies
- Example approaches: skimming first, reading slowly, reading questions first—use what gives best accuracy.
Daily target
- Do at least 1 RC and 4 VA per day.
- Increase/adjust based on which focus is heavier that day.

Read “like a snail”
- Don’t rush; they stress slow, careful reading to avoid failures.
Improve over time
- They claim they once solved one DILR set in 60 minutes, and that everyone improves with practice.
Familiarize with question types
- Practice different categories such as:
  - Games and tournaments
  - Arrangements
  - (they mention “etc.”)
Don’t miss classes
- If enrolled in an institute course, don’t miss any DILR class.
- Start solving along with faculty guidance.
Daily practice
- Do at least one DILR set per day and increase volume when focusing on DILR.

Different chapters require different approaches
Conceptual understanding + problem practice
- Arithmetic & numbers: focus on conceptual understanding plus arithmetic practice.
- Algebra: focus heavily on solving variety of problems (concept is necessary but practice is key).
- “For everything else”: concept and practice in equal proportions.
Priority weighting
- Algebra and arithmetic are emphasized as more important due to higher weightage.
Make a formula book
- Don’t buy one—make your own.
Daily problem target
- Solve 10–20 Quant problems per day from one or more chapters.
- Increase if doing more Quant on a given day.

Enjoy online classes
- Engage: make interesting comments, entertain yourself (lightly), and keep attention so the teacher remembers you.
Expect mock score fluctuation
- Example given:
  - started with 38 marks in mocks
  - reached 102 marks on CAT day
- Lesson: improvement can occur quickly (they emphasize “trust the process”).
Form support groups
- Example: they created a group of ~10 smart candidates to share doubts and prep together for 4 months.
Avoid negative influence
- Avoid negative people and discouraging videos (examples: “less time” fear, “MBA still worth it” negativity).
Mock practice volume
- In 4 months, they claim:
  - 45+ full-length mocks
  - 25+ sectional mocks
- Suggestion: buy practice mocks from institutes at low cost and solve them.
Respect teachers
- Follow teachers’ strategies “with extreme respect” (they claim teachers are usually right due to experience).

They claim rewards/recognition after scoring 99 percentile+:
- Gifted an iPhone 16 by their coaching institute (IANT online CAT center), described as a dream gift.
- Featured on popular websites:
  - CollegeDunia
  - Shiksha.com
  - and the IANT website/blogs
- Featured/interviewed in news (they say they’ll include a link).
- “On track” for an MBA from a top B-school (name not fully shown; they say it’s “still loading”).
They emphasize:
- this was possible for them in 4 months,
- they were an “average student,”
- and they frame the story as motivational (they also state they’re not a CAT educator, mostly post-MBA student content).
