5 WAYS TO KEEP YOURSELF MOTIVATED FOR CAT PREPARATION

Preparation for CAT requires lot of hard work and one has to go through many sleepless nights to finish the syllabus if not followed a proper strategy and thus consumes lot of energy and one has to constantly motivate himself to keep working hard until that exam date, here are the 5 ways you can keep yourself motivated for studies for CAT exam.POSITIVE SELF-AFFIRMATION: When you are not able to solve any quant problem even when you have spent half an hour solving that problem and you are feeling like dropping the subject, remind yourself that all the students who are preparing for CAT are going through the same struggle and give tell to yourself 5 times aloud that “No one is smarter than Me” and then get back to solving the problem. Give enough positive self-affirmations to yourself all the time, right from you wake up in the morning, that will keep you motivated and you will not feel bad about the hard work you are putting in. FAILURE IS A PART OF THE PROCESS: When we take a closer look at the great thinkers throughout history, a willingness to take on failure isn’t a new or extraordinary thought at all. Instead to quit play it safe, fly below the radar, repeating the same safe choices over and over again gives you a reach to success. Slow and gradual increase in your mock scores is a sign of success but you need to be motivated at your fall too. A continuous practice instead of dropping that subject or question is must. REWARD YOUR HARD WORK: Set a daily goal, like solving 3-4 area tests correctly in limited time or may be finishing a topic that day. Once you achieve your goal, reward yourself with small joys like your favorite chocolate or may be a little extra time than usual surfing the internet. Do this frequently, this will help you rejuvenate your mind and body and encourage you to set and achieve bigger goals. REALIZE YOUR PROGRESS: Simply tracking or rewarding your progress is not enough. This will help you keep moving with full dedication and positivity. How to do it? For example, if you are going to start with quant, never start it from first chapter. Instead, take a in-depth knowledge of important chapters from the syllabus. Based on this you’ll be able to allocate the time for every topic/chapter. This is always a good way to start and finish a section. COMPANY MATTERS: Success in CAT also depends on your company. Although we are not generalizing here, it is usually seen that the outcome will be good if you join a group of smart chaps and vice versa if you are in a bad company. Hence, try to stay away from negative company and stay focused towards your goal. Stay Motivated!!! All The Best!!
