Generic : How important are mock tests in self preparation for CAT 2026?

Mock tests are the most critical component of self preparation for CAT 2026. Aspirants should start with one mock per week and increase to 2–3 per week in the final 2 months. Equally important is spending equal time analysing each mock — reviewing incorrect answers, identifying weak areas, and refining time management. Free mock tests are available on MBAUniverse.com, Cracku, and 2IIM.
