Why can’t I just crack open a prep book, work through a few problems every day, and then be good to go? Well, here are three reasons why having a study plan for the CAT is essential to your success: To Use Time More Efficiently If you have your studying more or less planned out, you’ll waste a lot less time trying to figure out what you should do that day/week/month of your preparation time. Your plan will give you a guide as to where to go next, all the way to the day of the test! To Discover You’re Learning Style Do you know what kind of learner you are? A study plan can help you identify how you learn best. Are you more visual? Do you prefer to listen? Visual and auditory learners can all learn the same material successfully by creating study plans tailored to their preferred style of learning. They can help you learn more about yourself so you can focus on acing that exam. There are many types of learning styles and atmospheres. Everyone flourishes better in a different environment. It depends on what feels most comfortable and the style that best suits them. For instance, you can study in a group, with a tutor, by yourself, or a combination of those.  To Stay on Track Without a plan, it’s very easy to become distracted in your CAT studying process and end up studying a lot less than you intended. If you don’t have specific goals and targets planned out, it’s easy to feel like maybe you don’t really need to study for the CAT that day. A CAT study schedule will help keep you accountable to yourself. To Be Strategic About Prep This reason is the most important one. If you don’t have a CAT study schedule, your prep may not be very effective. A plan helps you target specific areas you need to address in your prep in a strategic way. You could take hundreds of practice problems, but if you aren’t really addressing your weak points or learning new strategies to approach the test, you’re wasting your time and your preparation won’t help you that much.  To Be More Productive Do you procrastinate or feel you get nothing done? Have you spent hours studying but feel as if you’ve gotten nowhere? Or perhaps you have a mountain of topics you need to do but don’t understand where to start. Maybe you feel as if there isn’t enough time to complete them at all. Procrastination is a tough habit to kick. Nevertheless, creating a study plan is the first step in a more productive life. You’d be surprised how much of an impact study plans have on tough tests, assignments, and exams. Testing becomes easier. Over time, being productive also leads to increased concentration and self-discipline –skills that are essential in educational settings and non-educational settings. Make A Plan – Follow – Score!!! All The Best!!
