CAT 2013: How to chalk out 100-day preparation strategy?

Are 100 days enough to prepare for the toughest exam in India?
Yes. Instead of giving a roundabout answer and an explanation, I thought that the best way to address the question is by giving the right answer. And yes, the answer to the above question is that 100 days are more than sufficient to prepare and ace the CAT exam. However, it does not matter if I think so, as long as the student does not think so.
CAT is an aptitude based exam and improves one aptitude is a matter of practice. 100 days is enough 150 would have been better 300 is even better.
But the truth is that June/July is the time when almost 95% of the students writing CAT start the preparation for it in right earnest. Most institutes start their Mock CAT series around this time only. The key, however, is to utilize these 15 odd weeks that exist and not waste (lose) as you may have done for the past few weeks and months.
