Frequently Asked Questions

Is 30 days enough to prepare for CAT?

It is enough to sharpen what you know and fix your biggest gaps, not to learn every topic from scratch. Spend the 30 days on daily timed practice from real CAT papers, weekly mocks and analysis.

What if I miss a day?

Every earlier ThinkCAT 60 day stays open. Catch up on a lighter day rather than skipping the current one.

Is this plan free?

Yes. ThinkCAT 60 is free, and so are the real CAT 2024 Slot 1 and Slot 2 mocks.
