Hi everyone! I'm planning to start preparing for CAT 2025 — how should I go about it from scratch?

I'm currently at the planning stage and want to build a solid study strategy.

Some questions I have:

1. When should I ideally start serious prep?
2. Any tips for building a consistent routine this early?
3. How do I balance all three sections — especially VARC?

Would love to hear from those who’ve been through the journey or are preparing right now!
