Step 1 — Fix Your Reading and Calculation Before the Syllabus Starts

Most students jump into CAT topics before fixing two basic problems — slow reading and weak mental calculation. This is why many people prepare for months and still do not improve.

At Coachify, preparation begins with three pre-foundation modules — one for VARC, one for DILR, one for Quant. Each targets the specific skill gap that stops students from improving, not the syllabus content.

Details, videos, and practice for each module are on their dedicated pages:

• • VARC Essentials — reading speed, RC approach, vocabulary
• • DILR Essentials — structured thinking for every set type
• • Quant Essentials — calculation speed, adaptive drills, weak area tracking

Step 2 — Cover the Complete CAT Syllabus, Topic by Topic

Once the basics are in place, the preparation moves into the full CAT syllabus. Every topic across VARC, DILR, and Quant is covered from basics to exam level — with topic-wise assignments after each session and topic tests before moving forward.

Step 3 — Advanced Level Practice — This Is Where 99+ Percentile Happens

Finishing the syllabus is not enough. Reaching 99 percentile means solving the questions that most CAT takers cannot. That needs regular, deliberate practice on the hardest material — with proper understanding of the approach, not just the answer.

Coachify has three dedicated advanced practice programs for this stage:

• RC 100 — 100 of the hardest CAT-level RC passages, each with a complete video solution. Practice in timed mode or general mode, depending on which phase of prep you are in.
• DILR 100 — 100 of the hardest CAT-level DILR sets, each with a complete video solution. Test mode for speed, practice mode for understanding. This is the stage that separates 95 percentile from 99 percentile.
• Quant 1000 — 1,000 CAT-level Quant questions across every topic, from medium to the hardest difficulty. Timed mode for speed, general mode for the questions you keep getting wrong.

Step 4 — Take Full CAT Mocks and Analyse Each One

Mock tests are not just practice. They are the feedback loop that tells you what to fix before the next attempt. Every mock has to be reviewed by the COACHIFY mentors—question by question—before the next one is attempted.

Coachify's CAT test series includes 30 full-length mocks, 30 sectional tests, and 140 area tests — all with video solutions and an AI-driven performance tracker.

Step 5 — Revise Intensively in the Final Weeks

The CAT Crash Course and Mega Marathon are for the last 4 to 6 weeks leading up to the exam. Fast revision of every high-priority topic across VARC, DILR, and Quant — with 400+ practice questions and 9 live workshops covering the full syllabus at CAT level.

Step 6 — Work with a Mentor Throughout

Mock analysis alone does not tell you everything. A mentor who looks at your specific error patterns, tracks your accuracy over time, and builds a week-by-week plan around your actual performance — that changes outcomes.

Coachify provides 5 one-on-one mentoring sessions with CAT experts as part of the full program.

Step 7 — Prepare for GD/WAT/PI After the Written Exam

CAT gets you the shortlist. The GD, WAT, and Personal Interview decide the final seat at IIM or any top B-school. Coachify includes GD/WAT/PI training and SOP writing support inside the full program.
