Useful websites for CAT

Whenever people plan to take up CAT first and foremost question they have is where to start and what to do.Some people try to go for self study. I would like to tell them that self study in case of exam like CAT is tough job. You need a proper guidance. So it is advisable if you join coaching classes for CAT. Plz don't think that i m advertising on their behalf and receiving commission. But it is necessary due to following reasons:

- They provide you with the material that is updated and very well prepared.

- They have proper planning about covering the course in proper timings.

- They take regular test which is must for strong preparation.

- They provide you with computer labs which are necessary as CAT has gone online.

- In short they provide with all the necessary backup needed to prepare for CAT.

Few of the reputed ones are PT education, Carrier launcher, TIME , IMS ,Catalysis etc....

I have seen many people (I was one of them)...who try to search for free material on net...but its really a bad idea because you can't get any authentic stuff for free. Lots n lots of sites lure you by providing free wordlist. Wordlist is not at all useful. You cant memorize 5000-6000 odd words in the form of list. It will never work.So please stop googling for free material and wasting your time.

Still some website provide you a little amount of useful stuff...for their promotion...You can use them at least. I m providing you the link to those sites:

www.tcyonline.com
www.testfunda.com
www.learnhub.com

If you will search on google you will find tons of site by you will get getting nothing.

You should have following materials to start with your CAT prep:
