The CAT 2025 question paper is the most relevant for CAT 2026 preparation as it represents the latest exam pattern and difficulty level. CAT 2024 and CAT 2023 papers are also important. Together, the last 3 years' papers give the most accurate picture of what to expect in CAT 2026.

CAT previous year question papers are among the most important preparation tools, but they should be combined with CAT mock tests. Previous year papers build familiarity with the exam pattern, while mock tests simulate real exam pressure and have some new question types. CAT toppers recommend using both together for best results.

There is no fixed number, but CAT toppers and experts recommend attempting all available CAT previous year question papers — at least 10 years' worth. Each paper helps you understand the exam pattern, difficulty level, question types, and your own strengths and weaknesses across VARC, DILR, and QA sections.
