Built by someone preparing too.
Astaris is CAT preparation for people with very little time: it finds the mistakes that cost you marks, and helps you stop making them.
Why it exists
I took CAT once, straight after college. Then, like so many of us, I chose a job instead, and spent the next seven years as an engineer. In that time I watched friends and family prepare for CAT, and saw how hard it is to keep going alongside a full-time job.
Last year, someone very close to me wanted to do an MBA. A working product manager, she could spare barely an hour a day, so she set CAT aside and applied to foreign universities, where admission rests on a robust application, not an entrance exam. It shouldn't take leaving the country for working individuals to pursue a course of their choice.
Working aspirants don't lack effort; they lack a clear view of where their marks are slipping away. Most aspirants lose their marks to repeated mistakes, sometimes made inadvertently, without any help in pointing out what those exact mistakes are. Astaris does!
A full mock shows you where your marks went, and your practice is shaped around fixing those very mistakes, in short sessions that fit around your working day.
The 95th and the 99th percentile are seven questions apart. Find your seven!
