CAT Prep

Roast my strategy.

Send us your CAT plan. We'll mark up everything that's quietly killing your prep — then hand you back one that actually works.

How this works

01

You lay it out.

Drop your real plan below — however you actually wrote it. Messy is fine. Messy is useful.

02

We mark it up — honestly.

The common mistakes, the hours you're wasting, the section you're quietly avoiding. We roast the plan, never you.

03

You get a rebuild.

A new plan built around your hours, your weak spots, and the months you've actually got left.

Submit your plan

1 — About you
So we can send your rebuilt plan back to you.
2 — Where you stand
A target %ile, or your dream calls — e.g. "99%ile" or "IIM A/B/C, FMS".
Be honest — this is the bit we actually fix.
3 — Your plan

In your own words — what are you actually doing in each section, and how? Specific beats tidy. Vague answers get the sharpest roast.

Topics, sources, daily/weekly time.
How many passages, what you read, how often.
How many sets, from where, timed or untimed.
When you revisit what you've learnt — and what you do with a mock after you take it.

This is a public series.

Your marked-up plan may appear on Optima Learn's Instagram. We'll use your first name unless you'd rather stay anonymous — your call, just pick below.

4 — And after the roast?
🔒 The button unlocks once you tick the box above.

Questions

What is Roast My Strategy?

It's a free CAT strategy review. You send us the study plan you're actually following, and an IIM/FMS alumni mentor marks up what's quietly capping your score — then hands you a rebuilt plan around your hours and weak areas.

Is it really free?

Yes. We take 5 plans a week, first in first marked, at no cost. You don't need an account or a card to submit.

Who reviews my CAT plan?

Mentors from IIM and FMS who scored a 99+ percentile and cleared the same journey you're on — the same alumni who run our free CAT mentorship calls.

Will my plan be shared publicly?

Only with your consent. Marked-up plans may appear on Optima Learn's Instagram as a public series — with your first name, or fully anonymous if you pick that option on the form.

Which CAT attempt is this for?

Whether you're targeting CAT 2026 or planning a longer runway to CAT 2027, the review works the same way — it's built around the months you actually have left before your attempt.
