What’s the best 4 month study plan to crack CAT 2025 with 95+ percentile?

Question

The best 4-month CAT study plan to target 95+ starts with identifying why accuracy is dropping,  not just what to study. After scoring 92 last year, I added one simple habit that changed everything: I built my plan around my past mistakes, not just topics.
First 5 weeks: 60% of time went to basics (Arithmetic, Algebra, RC). But the twist, I kept a daily 30-minute slot just to revise mistakes from old mocks and sectionals. Built a log of confusing RC options, rushed QA attempts, and tough DILR sets,  then reattempted them weekly under a timer.
Week 6 onwards: Mock frequency was one per week, but the real value came from &ldquo;re-sitting&rdquo; the same mock three days later without looking at the solutions. This showed if the learning actually stuck.
Final 5&ndash;6 weeks: Switched to custom topic-mix tests using questions from old mocks + unattempted TIME/IMS tests. This helped build section-switching stamina &mdash; way closer to real CAT pressure.

What changed my prep in the final 4 months wasn&rsquo;t doing more, it was switching how I practiced. Peaked at 70 in June, finished at 97.4 in November. Here&rsquo;s what I changed:
&bull; Used the block study method ,  25 minutes study, 5-minute break. Did 3 blocks per day: one QA, one DILR, one RC. It felt lighter but more focused than long study marathons. &bull; Instead of daily RCs, did RC clusters ,  4 RCs in one sitting, every 3rd day, to mimic CAT Verbal load and improve focus. &bull; In month 2, made short topic tests ,  10 questions from 2 topics under 30 mins. Practiced speed without doing full sectionals every time. &bull; By month 3, started doing test-day simulation , full mock at 2 pm (actual CAT slot) with no phone, no breaks, no background noise. Helped build mental stamina. &bull; One week every month was set aside just for review. No new content, just revisiting old mocks, notes, and question types that had tricked me before.
Consistency didn&rsquo;t just mean hours,  it meant showing up with the right kind of prep. That&rsquo;s what helped the percentile move.
