I used ChatGPT as my CAT coach for a week. Here’s what worked and what didn’t

Every year, lakhs of students prepare for the Common Admission Test (CAT) hoping to secure admission into India’s top management institutes. While many join coaching institutes for conceptual clarity and mock tests, others rely on self-study. Yet, even after months of preparation, many aspirants still feel they need something more.

They want someone who can answer questions at any hour, help plan realistic study schedules, analyse mock test performance, monitor daily progress and keep them accountable throughout the preparation journey. Curious to see whether artificial intelligence could fill that gap, I decided to use ChatGPT as my personal CAT coach.
