CAT 2020 - Tricks to score 99 percentile or more
Some of the important tips which the candidates must keep in mind while attempting the CAT 2020 exam is the number of the questions which one must attempt. Since there is no clarity about the total number of questions which will be asked this year in each section of the CAT exam as the duration of the exam has been reduced, candidates can draw their strategy based on last year.
Know what is the minimum number of questions which candidates must attempt
In order to score 99 percentile or more, candidates must check the total number of questions which they must attempt to answer in each section of the CAT 2020 exam.

Keep in mind speed and accuracy
Those who will appear for the CAT 2020 exam, they must keep in mind that since the duration of the exam has been reduced to 40 minutes for each section, while answering the questions, they will have to ensure that the questions are answered quickly as well as correctly. Hence, they must quickly read the questions asked in the CAT 2020 exam, analyse it and answer it within the stipulated time.
First Answer Questions about which one is 100 percent sure
Once the candidate logs in to the system, then he or she should first see the questions about which they are 100 percent sure. They should answer those questions first in the CAT 2020 and then move to those which will be less time consuming and which they can answer by analysing a little bit and putting in extra time.
CAT Mock Tests
Now that less than two weeks are left for the Common Admission Test, candidates must regularly take the CAT 2020 mock tests as this will help in the execution of what all they have learnt during the course of their preparation. It will be better that the CAT mock tests are taken with all seriousness so that the candidate is able to perform well on the day of the exam.
