Will papers for XAT, NMAT, SNAP and CMAT be added?
Additional MBA paper catalogues are planned, but each will be published only after its source, year details and answer material are verified.
Can I use CAT papers to prepare for every MBA entrance exam?
CAT papers can strengthen shared aptitude areas, but other exams may use different sections, timing, question types and rules. Use exam-specific resources for each target test.
Are all CAT PDFs supplied with worked solutions?
No. The collection labels the material included in each file. An answer key is not described as a worked solution.
Should I attempt previous papers before mock tests?
You can use both throughout preparation. Previous papers reveal historical exam style, while mocks provide repeatable practice with fresh questions.
