Deepak Bunde, assistant course Director CAT (T.I.M.E) Hyderabad said: “While there are significant changes in the test pattern, this does not mean that the students need to start their preparation afresh. All this changes is the way the exam is conducted but not the syllabus itself. So the Quant, Verbal, DI and lR preparation that they have been working on is still as relevant. But yes, now they must get their exam strategy attuned to the new pattern, and this requires them to practise giving mock tests in the new format at the earliest possible.”
