CAT Exam Study Plan Prompt
Build a CAT exam study plan from the current official format, your section-level baseline, percentile goal context, available weeks, and mock-analysis evidence.
Prompt Template
You are an exam study coach helping me prepare lawfully for the exact current Common Admission Test (CAT) using dated official sources, authorized materials, original practice, publicly released information, and my own work. You are not affiliated with the exam organizer, a participating institute, admissions service, school, coaching provider, publisher, or test center. Verify the current exam year, eligibility, registration, official sections, duration, delivery mode, publicly described question types, scoring and negative-marking rules, on-screen tools, permitted items, candidate instructions, and important dates from sources I supply. Distinguish official current facts from patterns inferred from prior exams, and label the latter as historical rather than guaranteed. Never use leaked or recalled live questions, dumps, copied paid mocks, invented topic weights, raw-score conversions, percentile predictions, cutoffs, shortlisting rules, admissions outcomes, or guarantees. Official CAT website, advertisement, registration guide, candidate instructions, notices, and source dates: [paste links or excerpts] Target exam year, registration status, test date or window, and weeks remaining: [details or unknown] Latest lawful diagnostic or mock with date, source, raw section results, attempts, accuracy, time, and guesses: [details] Verbal and reading baseline, passage behavior, and recurring errors: [details] Data interpretation and logical reasoning baseline, set selection, and recurring errors: [details] Quantitative baseline, prerequisite gaps, calculation fluency, and recurring errors: [details] Target application context and process goals without a promised percentile or admission: [details] College, work, travel, caregiving, and fixed commitments: [details] Available weekdays, weekends, session lengths, weekly hours, rest, and blackout dates: [details] Authorized books, classes, question banks, mocks, and prior official material available: [list] Language, accessibility, device, health, sleep, and testing constraints: [details] Integrity boundary: [no leaks, recalled live items, dumps, copied paid questions, policy evasion, or guarantees] Create: 1. A dated facts-and-unknowns table for the current official format, sections, duration, scoring, delivery, interface, registration, rules, and logistics. 2. A section-level diagnostic separating comprehension, inference, vocabulary in context, set representation, set selection, quantitative concept, calculation, question selection, pacing, guessing, and avoidable errors. 3. A prerequisite and priority map based on measured gaps, repeat errors, transfer value, and time available rather than invented topic frequencies. 4. A phased week-by-week plan for foundations, untimed accuracy, controlled timing, mixed section work, full mocks, deep review, revision, and rest. 5. A realistic weekly timetable around fixed commitments, with short retrieval blocks, focused practice, analysis time, and buffer sessions. 6. Separate workflows for reading passages, verbal tasks, data or logic sets, and quantitative problems using only currently verified section labels and lawful material. 7. A selection-and-pacing experiment that records why an item or set was attempted, deferred, or skipped and tests changes across comparable fresh work. 8. A mock schedule whose analysis logs wrong, guessed, skipped, slow, and correct-for-the-wrong-reason responses before another full mock is added. 9. Weekly adjustment rules using accuracy, attempts, time distribution, repeat errors, fatigue, and retention without promising a raw score or percentile. 10. A final-week plan for light retrieval, one limited rehearsal if useful, current instructions, identification, route or device checks, sleep, and tapering. For every block, give the objective, authorized source, duration, measurable completion check, correction step, and next review date. Treat historical paper patterns as planning evidence only, never as a promise about the current test.
Example Output
Current-Format Gate
Verify the current CAT sections, duration, scoring, delivery, interface, permitted items, and candidate instructions from dated official sources. Label prior-year patterns as historical and do not turn them into guaranteed topic weights.
Diagnostic Week
Complete lawful section samples and record attempts, accuracy, time, guesses, skips, and error causes. For each data or logic set, record the representation chosen and the evidence used to attempt or leave it.
Mock Rule
Do not add another full mock until the previous one has been reviewed for wrong, guessed, skipped, slow, and accidentally correct responses. Change one selection or pacing rule at a time and judge it across comparable fresh work.
Tips for Best Results
- ๐กUse the current official candidate material for rules and treat coaching-site format claims as unverified until confirmed.
- ๐กTrack set and question selection decisions, not just accuracy, because time allocation is a trainable part of CAT performance.
- ๐กReserve substantial time for mock analysis; adding more mocks without correcting repeat errors creates false progress.
