CAT 2015 - Preparation Strategy for New Pattern

The one thing predictable about CAT is its unpredictability. CAT is characterized with changing patterns and giving the test taker no common ground to work with. This year is no different. The CAT 2015 changes patterns again, but some might say that the sly little CAT is back to its old bag of tricks.

The changes introduced this year along with the changes in the strategy for the test takers are as follows:


1) One day, Two slots:

CAT 2013 was conducted in a span of twenty days with two slots each day. CAT 2014 was conducted on two days (16th November and 22nd November, 2014) two slots each day. CAT 2015 will be conducted on one day, 29th November, 2015, in two slots. This reduces the anxiety and the dependence on rumors. Psychologically, it is best when a test taker goes into the paper with a blank slate. This gives them an opportunity to make their own strategy without any biased opinions. Moreover this brings down the ill-effects of normalization.
