CAT preparation red flags that secretly destroy your percentile 🚩 (I'll start)

Let's do a collective sanity check on our study habits. Here are 4 subtle prep red flags that feel like hard work but secretly waste weeks of time:

🚩 1. Strategy Addiction: Spending 3 hours a day watching "How I got 99.9%ile in 60 days" YouTube videos instead of solving 4 Reading Comprehension passages and 2 DILR sets. 🚩 2. The Mock Hoarder: Giving 3 full-length mocks a week without spending at least 3 hours thoroughly analyzing each one. If your error log isn't twice as thick as your question bank, mocks won't help. 🚩 3. Skipping Arithmetic/Algebra for "Fun" Topics: Spending 4 days trying to master complex Coordinate Geometry or 3D Mensuration while still making silly calculation errors on simple Profit & Loss and Ratio equations. 🚩 4. The "I'll start fresh on Monday" Trap: Letting a rough Wednesday mock ruin Thursday and Friday's study targets.
