Apt Books for CAT 2022 preparation

Before you leave for your favorite bookstore in the city or order the CAT books, you should have the definitive list of books required for the preparation. It is not about the number of books in your possession but about the relevance and their significance in your journey. You can hoard an impressive number of books, but the quality of your preparation and your retention ability will determine your performance. Therefore, pick wisely!

CAT coaching and lectures

One of the perks of being a CAT aspirant in the present day and age is that there is no dearth of options. From prestigious institutions to customer-friendly applications, you are just a decision away from accessing a pool of knowledge. However, there is a downside too. Having access to multiple resources can baffle aspirants, and this is why many of them end up making incorrect choices. Relying on an E-learning platform can play a pivotal role in a CAT aspirant’s journey because it allows you to study from experienced mentors without going through the hassle of relocating or struggling to get attention in a room full of candidates. 

The app you choose for your CAT preparation must include everything, allow you to study from experienced educators, have thousands of high-yielding questions and tests, and enable you to analyze your performance. 

Notes 

Having access to quality, easily retainable, concise, and exam-relevant notes is not a bonus in your CAT preparation; it is mandatory.

While ensuring conciseness, your notes should also include everything important. Remember, you are not looking for the notes that will complement your preparation like an accessory; you need the notes that can conveniently act as a revision tool.

Considering the necessary requisites, we at PrepLadder have planned, designed, and developed the HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills) Notes. Whether you want to read a topic you feel underconfident about, or you want to go through the list of short-cut techniques; whether you want to revise a topic you recently learned through a video lecture, or you want to refresh your memory and revise something you studied six months ago- HOTS notes is your one-stop solution for all things revision!
