How to crack CAT on Athena

From your first past-paper question to full mocks, a study planner and your B-school shortlist — here's everything Athena gives you. Start free, go unlimited with Full Access.

Getting started & your plan

Athena is a serious CAT-prep arena — the whole syllabus, your progress, one place.

  • Launch. Sign in and you land on the Dashboard — the hub for every section and tool.
  • Free trial. Start free, no card: 5 free questions in total (any section), 1 full mock and 1 sectional mock per section — enough to try every part of Athena.
  • Go unlimited. One plan — Full Access, ₹101 for 3 months — unlocks every question and mock, full analysis, the Error Logbook and priority support. Get it any time from the Upgrade page.
  • One-time payment. The plan is a single Razorpay payment (UPI, cards, net-banking) — no autopay, no e-mandate. Access opens the instant payment succeeds.

Practice past questions (PYQs)

5,300+ real CAT questions across VARC, Quant, and DILR — each with a worked solution.

  • Pick a section → topic. Open VARC, Quant, or DILR, choose a topic, and you get a numbered grid of every question.
  • Solve & learn. Answer, see instantly if you're right, and open the option-by-option solution. Math renders properly; passages and DI charts sit beside the question.
  • Resume & track. Attempted questions turn green with a tick; "Resume" jumps to where you left off. Open the list drawer to browse without losing your place.
  • Question timer. Each question has an optional stopwatch — tap to start timing yourself, for exam pace.

Additional practice & custom sets

Finished the PYQs? Keep going with 1,680+ extra CAT-level questions.

  • XAT & SNAP. Questions from the closest exams to CAT — same style and difficulty — split into VARC, Quant, and DILR, with solutions.
  • Custom practice sets. Build your own set from any topics and practise them together — tracked separately so your PYQ stats stay clean.

Mock tests (real CAT interface)

Sit the exam, not just the questions.

  • Sectional & full. Take a single section, or a full CAT mock with all three sections in the real order (VARC → DILR → QA).
  • Exam UI. A countdown timer, the question palette (answered / not-answered / marked / not-visited), Mark for Review, Save & Next, and Clear Response.
  • Section lock. In full mocks each section has its own 40-minute timer that starts when you choose — and locks when you move on, exactly like the real exam.
  • Score & review. +3 / −1 scoring (no negative on TITA), an overall and per-section score, then a full review with solutions.

Mock Tracker

Log the mocks you take anywhere — SimCAT, AIMCAT, or Athena's own — and watch the trends.

  • Log a mock. Enter section-wise correct/wrong/skipped, time per section, percentile and notes. Athena finishes the maths (CAT +3/−1).
  • Trends & charts. Percentile, score and section-accuracy plotted over every attempt, with a target-percentile line.
  • Loopholes. Tag what went wrong (silly mistakes, set selection, time…) and Athena surfaces your recurring patterns.
  • Auto-fill from Athena mocks. Finish an Athena mock and "Analyse in Mock Tracker" pre-fills the whole entry.

Mistake Notebook & Error Logbook

Learn from every slip — twice over.

  • Notebook (auto). Any question you get wrong lands in your notebook, tagged with its source, with a notepad for your takeaway.
  • Error Logbook (members). A structured log of mistakes — tag each as silly, conceptual, timing, calculation, misread or a wrong guess, add the lesson, then tick it resolved.
  • Filter & review. Filter the logbook by mistake type to attack one weakness at a time.

Analysis, streak & profile

See exactly where you stand and keep showing up.

  • Analysis. Accuracy by section and topic, weakest-first — so you know what to fix next.
  • Profile. A "Hi, you" header reads your numbers and tells you where you stand, with a growth chart of questions solved. A Member badge sits next to your name the moment you subscribe.
  • Your details. Fill your personal info, category, academics and work-ex once in the Profile form — it powers the Profilizer's call predictions and stays saved.
  • Streak & activity. Your daily streak, total attempted, accuracy, and a 30-day activity strip.

Study Planner, Calendar & Mock Scheduler

Map your entire prep to exam day.

  • Set your CAT date. Athena shows a live countdown and builds your plan against it.
  • Auto-generate a plan. One tap lays out a day-by-day plan — topics interleaved across sections, weekly mocks, and a revision sprint before the exam.
  • Edit anything. Add, check off or delete tasks on any day; a calendar shows section-coloured dots and your progress.
  • Schedule mocks. Drop a full mock onto any day with one tap.

MBA Profilizer — call predictor

Turn your mock percentiles and profile into a real shortlist.

  • Your full profile. Enter overall plus VARC / DILR / QA percentiles — and your category, academics (10th/12th/grad) and work-ex are pulled straight from your saved Profile.
  • High / Medium / Low calls. Athena weighs 20+ top B-schools (IIMs, FMS, SPJIMR, MDI and more) against your composite and category-adjusted cutoffs, then sorts them into High, Medium and Low call chances.
  • Visual read. A score gauge, a sectional radar and a contribution chart show exactly what's lifting or dragging your profile. Cutoffs are indicative (vary by category, profile and year).

Daily quiz & Leaderboard

Small habits, real ranking.

  • Daily word quiz. Five CAT vocabulary words a day — a fresh set each morning to keep your streak alive.
  • Leaderboard. See how you rank among aspirants by questions-solved score and by best mock score.
