How does it feel to get perfect 100 percentile in the CAT exam and be among the toppers?<\/h3>\n<p>I was expecting a good percentile, somewhere in the range of 99.7 and more, but getting the perfect percentile was like a golden moment for me. <strong>There was a lot of hard work behind the achievement<\/strong> which finally paid off.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>2. Was the exam tough compared to the mock tests and previous year papers? How will you categorize the different sections based on their difficulty level?<\/h3>\n<p>My initial thoughts were that the test did not go as per my expectations since I considered Quantitative Ability as my biggest strength and I had missed quite a lot of questions. This was not the case while I was taking the mock tests. After going through the reviews of the exam, I realized that I had done fairly well.

How did you prepare for CAT? Did you opt for mock tests? How much time did you give for your preparation?<\/h3>\n<p>I got time to prepare only during weekends. I used to work on the Verbal Ability section and other weak areas on Saturdays. On Sundays, I used to take mock tests and analyse it comprehensively. I followed this routine from June onwards.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>4.
