Preparation Strategies of PW CAT 2024 Toppers

PW CAT top achievers have attributed their success to several key strategies. Here is the detailed overview of the CAT preparation strategy followed by PW CAT toppers:

Gyara Yagnavalkya Scored 99.95 Percentile in CAT 2024

Gyara Yagnavalkya is from engineering background. He achieved an impressive 99.9 percentile in both Quant and LRDI sections, while in VARC, he scored 98 percentile. His scaled score in the QA section was around 42-43, and in LRDI, he got 50. In the VARC section, his scaled score was 38-39. Yagnavalkya had a strong hold on mathematics, and he used to practise mental maths from the very beginning of his academic year, which helped him in the CAT QA section. However, he struggled in the VARC section, specifically in the RC section. Yagnavalkya started his CAT preparations in May 2024.

Gyara Yagnavalkya CAT Preparation Strategies

To strengthen CAT preparation, Yagnavalkya followed the strategies provided below.
  • At the beginning of CAT preparation, Yagnavalkya used to study for 3-4 hours every day for CAT. During these hours, he used to dedicate 1.5 hours to QA and LRDI. For the remaining time, he used to read  AEON essays, articles, etc. Additionally, he practised with sectional questions to improve his problem-solving skills.
  • Until August, Yagnavalkya read 1 AEON essay every day, and from September, he focused more on solving questions.
  • Yagnavalkya also prioritised mock tests to understand the exam pattern and marking system. He attempted his first PW mock test in May. When Yagnavalkya started taking CAT mocks, he struggled to score good marks. However, with consistent practice, he strengthened his weak sections and eventually started scoring good marks in mock tests.
  • In total, Yagnavalkya attempted nearly 25-30 CAT mock tests. In the beginning, he attempted 1 mock every week, and as the CAT exam day approached, he consistently attempted 2 mocks every week.
  • He joined the PW MBA Pro batch to strengthen his CAT preparations. Recorded video lectures provided by PW helped Yagnavalkya effectively revise key concepts of the CAT syllabus and resolve doubts.

Shubham Rana Scored 99.84 Percentile in CAT 2024

Shubham scored an overall 99.84 percentile in CAT 2024. His sectional score was 98 in VARC, 96 in QA, and 94 in LRDI. Shubham started his CAT preparations in June-July 2023. He initially attempted CAT in 2023, but his LRDI sectional score of 77 percentile prevented him from getting a call from IIMs. However, Shubham kept preparing for the CAT, and this year, he improved both his overall and section scores and cracked CAT 2024 with an excellent score.

Shubham Rana CAT Preparation Strategies

This year, Shubham gave specific attention to strengthening his LRDI preparation. Here are the strategies he followed to strengthen his CAT 2024 preparation:
  • Being from an engineering background, Shubham's mathematics was good. However, he gave equal attention to all the sections. In the beginning of CAT preparation, Shubham set a strategy to solve 20 questions in QA and LRDI sections and read AEON essays and articles from newspapers every day.
  • He started practising mocks from the beginning, and initially, he used to take CAT mock tests every Sunday. After solving mocks, he used to analyse his performance and focus on weak sections to improve comprehension and problem-solving skills.
  • To improve the LRDI section, Shubham solved the last 10 years’ CAT LRDI questions. Additionally, he used to attempt every question that he could find online.
  • Shubham relied heavily on PDFs of CAT practice questions. As CAT is an online exam, he found solving online questions more effective than practising through physical sample papers.
  • When attempting LRDI questions during CATY preparation, Shubham used to skim through the p[assage to get an idea about the topic of the set. Further, he used to select the sets for which he was confident. Using this strategy, Shubham was able to dedicate his time to solving only those questions that helped him score marks and avoid the sets where he could get negative marks.
