The Insight Layer

Post-Exam Philosophy

Most platforms stop at scores. We start there. Weaknesses are exposed with our Reflection Layer, prompting you to tag errors such as calculation mistakes or conceptual gaps. This turns passive review into active learning.

Rational Strategy

Allocate preparation time rationally. Our ROI Map plots Accuracy against Time Spent to categorize topics into 'Cash Cows' (high accuracy, low time) to prioritize, and 'Money Pits' (low accuracy, high time) to avoid.

Score Waterfall Analysis

We show you your true potential. The Waterfall visualizes the gap between your actual score and what you could have scored had you avoided silly errors and trap questions. It is built from the reasons you tag after each test, so the more you reflect, the sharper it gets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a launch offer?

+

Both plans are 50% off for the next 50 students (0 claimed so far). After that, the next 50 buyers get 25% off, then plans are full price.

Is there a free CAT mock test?

+

Yes. The full CAT sample paper runs as a mock test in the same exam simulator, with the complete analysis of your attempt. It is free on every account, and signing up needs only your email or Google, no payment.

Is this a recurring subscription?

+

No. It is a one-time payment for a full year of access to all features in your chosen plan. There are no automatic renewals or recurring fees.

Which CAT papers does Catalyst include?

+

Every official CAT paper we could source: 1991, 1993–2008 and 2017–2025. Why the gap? The papers for 2009–2016 were never officially released by the IIMs. The exam had moved online and the questions were kept confidential. That is 40 papers (1991–2025), every one authentic.

How is this different from other mock series?

+

Our core philosophy is different. We provide official CAT papers adapted to the current exam pattern. The 2021 onwards papers run exactly as they were set: 2024 and 2025 have the current 68 questions, and 2021–2023 keep their original 66, because their time limits and structure are essentially today's. Papers from 2020 and earlier were longer than today's exam, so each is a selection of about 68 of its original questions in the current three-section, two-hour format. We combine this with a realistic interface and analysis designed to provide strategic insights, not just a score.

Which plan should I choose?

+

For the most thorough preparation, just go with the Pro Plan, it is the best value for the money.

Is there a refund policy?

+

Yes, you can get a 100% refund if you meet both conditions:

  • You've attempted fewer than 2 papers since buying
  • It's within 7 days of your purchase

Open Settings → Billing in your dashboard and press Request refund. No questions asked. Every payment for your plan, including a Plus → Pro upgrade, is refunded.

When will I get access after payment?

+

Instantly. The moment your payment is confirmed, your account will be activated and you'll be redirected to your dashboard to begin.
