Unaware about the utility of the Test day Guide, it appears that IIM Bangalore has scrapped the publishing of much awaited CAT 2016-Test Day guide for the exam day. The test day guide used to be made available on CAT website about a month prior to the exam.

Even after preparing hard for CAT 2016, you dont get assured of cracking the exam with good number of attempts leading to high and balanced sectional percentile. Avoiding a few repetitive mistakes, as suggested by toppers from IIMs and the experts & mentors on CAT preparation can take you out of this dilemma and can help you score a higher percentile score than you expected.

General Awareness section with 28 questions in IIFT 2016 will play a major role in taking your percentile score up or down in the merit list. Although the section has a weightage of 14% in entire exam score, in case you do not score well and do not clear the GK section cut off which remains as low as 1 mark, you are out of the race to IIFT Delhi or Kolkata campus.

Right strategy if adopted to choose and attempt the question in CAT 2016 can push up your percentile score to new heights. Last year CAT toppers with 99 and 100 percentile and studying in IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Trichy, FMS Delhi, SPJIMR share their CAT day strategy for the benefit of CAT 2016 aspirants who despite having prepared very hard are in a dilemma how to choose a question and how much time they should spend to crack it, to maximize their scores in the exam.
