I took the Common Admission Test in 2021, and made it to IIM Ahmedabad, where I presently study as a PGP2. Here is a documentation of what I generally tell aspirants of the exam over the phone.
That was again a great read. Loved the bits of sarcasm here and there. However, Could you also name out some channels/resources/mocks you used for Quant and DILR prep? It'd be a great help. Thanks once again😊 waiting for the next issue
Hello, Akash. Of course, one should cover the entire syllabus, but while attempting the paper, playing to one's strengths helps optimize time and minimize negative marking. During the paper, I only attempted arithmetic questions with a few easy level algebra ones. Again, this is my experience of the exam. I have already posted a disclaimer that there is no singular "strategy" that would apply to all.

+1 for DILR prep advice!
Woah! You scored a 95%ile in QA by only attempting the arithmetic questions?! That's amazing! Thanks for the tips :)
Hey, I appeared for CAT 2022.
I will suggest you to always go through the entire syllabus.
She was lucky to get many arithmetic questions.
But the pattern keeps changing every year.
You can be unlucky if in your case there are fewer arithmetic questions.
So make sure to cover all the topics as they'll be helpful in other exams like XAT,NMAT,SNAP,IIFT etc too
