Preparing for the Common Admission Test (CAT) in a short timeframe can seem daunting. With a vast syllabus and a highly competitive environment, many aspirants wonder: Is it possible to crack CAT in just 3 to 6 months? The answer is yes — with the right strategy, guided mentorship, and consistent effort, you can achieve a high percentile in this limited window.
At SuperGrads, we specialize in helping aspirants accelerate their preparation without compromising on quality. Whether you’re starting late, juggling college or a job, or attempting CAT as a repeater, our program is tailor-made to help you succeed in 3–6 months.
Let’s explore how SuperGrads supports and streamlines your CAT preparation journey within this crucial time frame.
Why 3–6 Months is a Crucial Phase for CAT Prep
While a year-long preparation can be ideal, many toppers have proven that focused preparation over 3 to 6 months can yield excellent results — provided that you:
- Use time wisely

SuperGrads understands these needs and has built a targeted short-term preparation module to suit the unique demands of this phase.
