CAT 2025 Exam: Key Tips to Avoid Common Errors

The big CAT test for business school is happening on November 30, 2025.

The IIMs, who organize the test, want to help you do your best.

Before the test, make sure your admit card has all your information correct, like your name and photo.

If anything is wrong, tell the CAT helpdesk right away.

It's also a good idea to visit the test center early so you know how to get there and what to expect.

When the test starts, read all the instructions carefully.

The test is split into parts, and each part has its own time limit, so manage your time well.

Try not to spend too much time on one hard question.

It's better to focus on answering questions accurately.

If you feel nervous during the test, take a deep breath.

You don't have to answer every question to get a good score.

Just focus on the ones you are sure about.

Don't guess randomly on questions where you can lose points for being wrong.
