PREPARATION STRATEGY
How to prepare for MBA-CET
A 3-month CET plan
CET rewards speed. Learn LR and AR patterns in month one, push section attempts with sectionals in month two, and take two full mocks a week in month three.
Logical & Abstract Reasoning
These make up 100 of 200 questions. Practise arrangements, puzzles and coding until each takes under 45 seconds. Abstract Reasoning is the fastest marks on the paper.
Quant & DI
Mostly arithmetic and DI at moderate difficulty. Use approximation and option elimination instead of full calculation.
Verbal & RC
Read the question before the passage. Grammar and vocabulary questions should take about 20 seconds each.
Attempt strategy
There is no negative marking, so never leave a question blank. Mark all remaining questions in the last five minutes.
CAT and CET together
Most CAT preparation carries over. Start CET-specific mocks in January, after CAT, and focus on speed in LR and AR.
