How to prepare for CAT

I would like to recommend you to spend at least 5 hours a day for the ultimate preparation.
Concerned tasks for CAT preparation
 Preparing Maths
 Preparing Data Interpretation
 Preparing Analytical reasoning
 Reading comprehension
 Preparing Verbal ability
 Reading
There are two phases of preparation
First Phase:
In this phase you should get good grip on fundamentals and get familiar with all chapters and problems. Do not look for speed solving or feel any sort of pressure while preparing fundamentals. Learn with your own efficiency, without getting into fundamentals clearly speed-solving is not useful. Please manage to allocate at least one hour a day for reading newspapers, magazines. It is better to subscribe for any good magazines during the preparation. Get in touch with current affairs.
Second Phase (self analyzing and improving):
From second week of August you can take section tests along with revision of topics in alternate day , here if you think you have to allocate more time you should do. You must start taking comprehensive tests by the beginning of September.
Things you look to learn in comprehensive tests of 2-3 hour long, is how to manage paper so the attitude here should be the same like a batsman who wants to score as many runs as possible in the last 10 over’s in one dayers.
After you tested yourself spend time to analyze it. The key points to analyze your test:
 Speed:
 Concentration
 Time Management
 Accuracy
 Finding traps
Self analysis of the test is very critical. Simple thumb rule says that you have to spend at least 3 times the amount of time that you are spending on test on analysis of test.
