4-month CAT plan starting from scratch — does this split make sense?

✓ Accepted answer

The 2+2 split is solid, and 2 hours/day as a working professional is workable if used efficiently. A few adjustments that make the plan tighter: On mocks: don't wait until month 3. Introduce one full mock every 2 weeks from the middle of month 2 — even if your concepts are incomplete. Early mocks build test endurance, surface your weakest areas before you've locked in month 3 prep, and teach pacing you can't learn any other way. The score doesn't matter yet; the diagnosis does. Suggested weekly rhythm for a working professional: - Mon/Wed/Fri evenings (1 hr each): concept sessions — one topic per slot, worked examples + 10–15 practice problems - Thu/Sat (1.5 hrs each): sectional timed tests on the week's topic - Sunday (2–3 hrs): from month 2 onward, full mock + 30-minute immediate review of your weakest section; deep analysis the following weekday evening The error log: start it from week 1, not just mock season. Every mistake in a practice set gets logged — topic, question type, why you got it wrong (concept gap / calculation error / time mismanagement). By month 3 your error log tells you exactly what to drill; it's more useful than any topic list. One risk to flag: concept-only prep in months 1–2 can give false confidence. The first mock often feels devastating. That's normal — the point is to get it out of the way early, not to do it perfectly.
