A day before CAT

With CAT exam approaching all too quickly, there is a sense of rising anxiety among its candidates from all corners of the country. The stress level increases to such an extent that students lose their focus completely just a day before the examination. Keeping this in mind, we have brought you a list of a few things that you must do a day before the big day to ensure you are on the right track. Here we go: Go through Your Flash Cards/ Notes You must have prepared key notes or flash cards while you were preparing for the examination. This is the right time to go through them and recall key information. Remember that trying an entirely new topic right before the big day can prove suicidal for many students. Stay away from new big topics on the eve of the examination. This is the time to strengthen what you have already studied not mug up new things to just mess up what you already know. Get a Quick Sneak Peek into the Key Topics Give a sneak peek into the following key topics: Geometry, Mensuration, arithmetic, grammar (syllogism, parallelism, subject verb agreement), Puzzles, Analytical reasoning Bar/Pie/Table charts etc. Don’t Solve Mathematical Problems As your stress level just a day before the examination is already high, solving numerical will only add to your woes. So just don’t solve any mathematical problem the day before your big day. You might also end up making errors, which will only make you lose your confidence. Solving mathematical problems will do nothing good to you. This is the time to relax and concentrate on other key things. Eat Healthy & Take balanced Diet Don’t skip your breakfast & ensure that you supplement it with iron rich food. Avoid eating spicy & oily food as they cause dizziness. Have almonds & drink plenty of water. Eat frequently in small portions. Visit Your Examination Centre It is always a good idea to visit your examination centre a day before your examination day as it helps avoid anxiety of finding the address on the final day.   Exercise Meditation and doing Yoga can help you get rid of depression or any kind of stress. So take some time put & do some light exercises to keep your body & brain healthy Working out improves blood flow in your body, which eventually helps your brain to perform better. Take a Proper Night’s Sleep You should not ignore the importance of sleeping. You must get a sound sleep of at least 6-8 hours. Sleeping less will eventually hamper your performance during the examination. To take proper night’s sleep, make sure you don’t study late hours. ALL THE BEST!!!
