CAT 2026 Repeater's Guide: Why 85 to 99 Percentile Is Not Tweaks — It's Starting Over | Part 1

Описание: Attempted CAT 2025 and didn't crack it? Before you rush back into preparation mode, watch this first.

In Part 1 of the Repeater's Guide, Rajesh covers the honest picture most coaching won't give you:
⚡ Why 85 to 99 percentile is NOT a few tweaks — it's nearly doubling your score
⚡ Why speed is an output variable, not something you chase
⚡ Why reading is non-negotiable — and why fiction beats non-fiction for CAT prep
⚡ The mock schedule you should follow from March to November
⚡ The "learning without testing" trap that kills most repeaters
⚡ Why below 85 percentile means starting from scratch — and that's okay
This is a hard conversation. Have it now in March. Not in October.
